December 4 – A French campaign group has renewed calls for authorities to take action against homophobic chanting by fans, singling out Marseille supporters for belting out anti-gay slurs “with complete impunity” during a home game against Monaco on Sunday.
The Rouge Direct group posted video on social networks showing Marseille supporters shouting insulting chants, the latest of in a long series of similar incidents in French football.
The game was not halted even though France’s Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau suggested earlier this year that matches should be stopped whenever fans chant homophobic slurs in stadiums.
