Muslim Soccer Player Faces Possible Sanctions After Refusing to Wear LGBT Rainbow Jersey [France]

PARIS (LifeSiteNews) — A player for the prestigious French soccer team Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) has been making headlines around the world following his decision not to participate in a game where players were asked to wear LGBT-colored jerseys.

Senegalese midfielder for PSG Idrissa Gana Gueye missed a May 14 game against Montpellier during which his teammates were asked to wear jerseys with rainbow-colored numbers to show their support for the LGBT movement on the so-called International Day Against Homophobia.

Mauricio Pochettino, PSG’s coach cited “personal reasons” for the player’s absence, but the French media have since then been widely reporting that Gueye, a devout Muslim, did not want to wear the rainbow-colored shirt.

Gueye was already absent on that same occasion last year and at the time cited a case of gastro-enteritis.

This year, the Senegalese player is now facing major backlash for his decision not to play in the game.

“He was already absent last year. That leaves no doubt as to his intentions,” commented Bertrand Lambert, President of French soccer club Panam Boyz and Girlz.

“Homophobia is not an opinion but a crime,” tweeted Rouge Direct, a French advocacy group for proponents of LGBT ideology in sport.

I don’t blame him. This woke crap does not belong on a team uniform.

Meanwhile, a Muslim player for the Colorado Avalanche has gotten death threats for colliding with the opposing goalie (pushed by an opposing player), and the Avs are going to the semifinals.

Soccer is for fags.

I agree with that thought, too. Just play the game. Drop the posturing and signalling.

When are they going to mandate people wear shirts for hetero pride? Do the gays know that this militant crap is in fact having the opposite effect on people? Making people sick of this and making losing respect for gays? Keep your effin’ sexuality to yourself, NOBODY GIVES A DAMN ABOUT IT just like they don’t give a damn what race you are, what gender you are, I DON’T CARE ABOUT YOUR LIFE IDIOT! I got my own to deal with.

Nothing political belongs on a team uniform. Unfortunately, “progressives” feel the need to preach to us about everything, all the time.

Why should he be forced to wear this? Last time I checked Muslims or human beings too. And so what if he wasn’t Muslim what if he was nothing at all why does he have to wear it?
