Idrissa Gana Gueye, a Senegalese player for Paris Saint-Germain, was condemned on Thursday for his alleged unwillingness to participate in an action by French football against homophobia. The Paris Saint-Germain Ultras collective came out in favor of Gueye on Thursday.
The group insists, in particular, that the player is subjected to unfair charges in the media and that "each individual remains free to promote the causes of their choosing in a manner that is suitable for them."
The Ultras also state in their statement that "Idrissa Gueye has always shown conduct worthy of emulation, and he has always resisted all types of prejudice with force."
It is strongly suspected that the Senegalese international midfielder withdrew because he did not wear the flocked jersey in the colors of the LGBT pride rainbow as part of the operation against homophobia organized by the Ligue de professional football on the occasion of the 37th day of the French Ligue 1 championship, which took place last Saturday. The event took place on the 37th day of the French Ligue 1 championship.
