PSG Fans Target Rabiot with Homophobic Chants Amid Controversy
As Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) faced off against Stade de Reims on Saturday night, the match ended in a surprising 1-1 draw, but it was the behavior of PSG supporters that drew significant attention. Fans launched derogatory chants directed at Adrien Rabiot, who recently signed with rival club Olympique de Marseille (OM). This incident has sparked outrage, prompting a call to action from the advocacy group Rouge Direct, which fights against homophobia in football.
Chants of Discontent from PSG Fans
During the match held at the Stade Auguste Delaune, the dissatisfaction among PSG supporters was palpable. They expressed their unhappiness with Rabiot’s transfer to OM by chanting offensive remarks about the French international, who has made 48 appearances for the national team.
“Rabiot is a… ”
Chants such as “Rabiot is a… ” echoed through the stadium, highlighting the tensions surrounding the player’s controversial move. In response, Rouge Direct took to social media to urge the new Minister of Sports, Gil Avérous, to address the issue of homophobia prevalent in football.
Call for Ministerial Action
Rouge Direct publicly addressed Avérous, stating, “Hello Gil Avérous, new Minister of Sports, homophobia in football is evident in these PSG supporters calling Rabiot an ‘…,’ and in those from Saint-Etienne shouting ‘Lyon bunch of…’. This behavior is everywhere, all the time. We await your first reaction, please?” Their plea underscores the urgent need for a response from sports authorities regarding the ongoing issue of discrimination in football.
