GAYLES.TV.- The match of the Ligue One between Nice and Marseilles It was interrupted for several minutes of the first half by the homophobic messages of the fans. The Mediterranean derby stopped for more than twelve minutes. The growing homophobia in the stadiums is a problem that must be cut at the root.

Clement Turpin Interrupted a French league match between Nice and Marseille by homophobic banners and chantsOne of the banners displayed by the followers of the Nice referred to the acquisition of the club, specified on Tuesday by Jim Ratcliffe, the richest man in Britain, who owns the chemical giant Ineos. The message made a pun on the fact that Ratcliffe is also the owner of the cycling team Ineos. The term used the French term "pedaling", means pedaling but it is also a word that is used offensively to refer to gays.

Far from applauding the action of the referee the midfielder of Nice Wylan Cyprien declared to Canal Plus that the decision to interrupt the match was wrong: “We will not stop the game every time some stupid do something. I am against any form of discrimination, be it homophobia or racism, but they should not stop the party for so little. It's ridiculous«.

On Wednesday night, the French League reported that the tier Piantoni of the stadium of Nice where the songs arose will remain closed for the next meeting. The ridiculous thing is not to take a hate crime seriously.
