French Football's Homophobia Crisis

[@anavocado964]

Next you could cover spanish football's racism crisis. It has come back to the spotlight due to the racial insults against Vinicius but it's no novelty. Just a bit over a decade ago fans legitimally threw bananas at players like Dani Alves when they went for corner kicks. I'd say it's one of spanish football's biggest issues, probably only behind the ridiculous amount of corruption in league ownership and the federation

[@snfcbmf12799]

We (Groningen) indeed have a problem with a very small group (maybe +/- 50 people) of coked-out criminals who intimidate staff, stewards, and supporters. Last week v Ajax, they managed to sneak smoke bombs into the stadium by threatening stewards just to get the game abandoned asap. Some hooligans/criminals of other clubs, such as Beerschot of Belgium, are friends with them and were in attandance as well. It has been the worst season on the pitch in Groningen's history (18 points in 33 matches), but our club is rotten off the pitch as well. Worrying times...

[@insideinside9450]

since this is a comment which may be viewed I will say this here. Whilst Alfie's point at 9:28 is valid about the fact that it was a campaign to say "do not abuse or discriminate against gay people" people tend to misunderstand context a lot. For example when I was younger I used to always say in class about how much I love Messi and then people would say I was gay. Far from it I loved everything about Messi but just not erotically (and there are many more instances of my life with people misunderstanding context). I could give you another. When I was younger some people and I were arguing about whether or not we only inhale Oxygen and only exhale Carbon Dioxide (being the smart one that I am, I obviously said that we inhale all gases that would be in our proximity.) They then went to a girl who was older than us and went to a quite reputable University and she did not agree with me. They also made it a point to tell me that she went to a good University. Then I said, not because she goes to a reputable University means that she is exempted from being stupid. They then went and told the girl that I said she was stupid. Similarly with those three players. If they go and participate in anything that supports, upholds, defends, legalizes, raises awareness etc. it may just be taken out of context.

That's lovely to hear. ❤ Everyone should be accepted for who they are, and what they believe in. I think the world be a far better place if everyone could hold on to those values/morals - Truly. I'd really like to know your thoughts on whether the footballers who chose not to participate in the Campaign discussed in this video, were treated with the same level of respect, and support, for their own beliefs, as you personally felt from this video? Personally, i think the moral of this, is that we need to be accepting, whether we agree or disagree. The footballers who opted not to take part in the campaign, could have instead, continued to play, but not wear the colors - which IMO would be far more disrespectful and 'Phobic' than what they did, which was respectfully, opt out. If they truly believe that they should not participate, then put yourself in their shoes and ask yourself, WWYD? I think you'd do exactly what they did. So, I say leave them alone, respect their beliefs, and be thankful that respect is being shown, all around. Surely, that's the harmonious way forward right?

Thank you as always Alfie. I first became interested in the beautiful game in high school as I grew into myself. I have a background in American football, played it for years, but reached a turning point in my late teens as I just couldn’t take the constant homophobia, racism, and bullying associated with American football culture. Within American football culture, association football is often seen as “gay” or effeminate, and often referred to in homophobic terms. So naturally, I gravitated more towards it as I moved further away from the sport that didn’t accept me. I saw supporters like the Portland Timbers army and St.Pauli ultras and countless others waving rainbow flags, singing Bella Ciao, being intimidating and accepting at the same time. I found a sporting culture that actually felt more open to someone like me and many of the people I love. Many years later, it’s quite ironic to look back on my younger self, believing that global football would be a less homophobic place than the American football I was raised around. At the end of the day, I fell in love with the beautiful game and will likely never fall out of love with it, but the culture around it must be improved. We need to keep fighting for a better future for football, one in which homophobia, racism, misogyny, and all forms of discrimination are not tolerated. Thanks for being a leader in that fight Alfie.

As a queer football fan, it couldn't be more obvious to me that all these awareness campaigns were designed by heterosexual cisgender people. I am totally in favour of awareness campaigns, but they shouldn't be designed in a way that allows homophobes to hijack the entire thing. Campaigns that force everyone to participate only serve to give a platform to homophobia, which only makes me feel less safe if anything. Besides, the point shouldn't be to convert the person wearing the mandated rainbow colours to a life of love and acceptance, it should be to foster a gradual change in football culture; one that goes beyond the 22 on the field. My personal approach would be to specifically identify players and managers at each club who genuinely want to make a statement against homophobia. This way, players who don't want to participate in it don't get to claim they're being forced to comply and the focus will be on the actual role models instead.

I'm the French voice among your subscribers. I don't like these campaigns : rainbow numbers, putting "respect" in kits during UEFA games, the knee during black lives matter, etc. While the sentiment is good, it's marketing. Nothing more, nothing less. If they actually cared about LGBT+ people and other issues, they would have done much better. The last example being Vinicius last night. As long as it doesn't hurt the business, it will go on. It has always been the case and sadly, I don't think it will change. As a Muslim, I can't support the cause as it is opposed to my believes. But it doesn't mean I accept that LGBT+ people deserve to be harassed, insulted and beaten up. Same with people who aren't Muslims or opposed to my political believes. And you're right : they mustn't promote betting companies and like Kanouté in the past, they must hide it. Shahid Afridi, a cricket player, hides a betting sponsor on his kit. So, if they wanted to, they would have hidden it with tape. I don't buy kits if they have a betting sponsor, or alcohol, cigarretes, junk food. Careful : Betclic isn't the sponsor of Toulouse. During Cup games in France, we don't have the same sponsor. It's either Betclic or Crédit Agricole, a French bank. At least, for this season. Toulouse's actual sponsor is LP Promotion, real estate company.

If a Muslim player wanted to come out in supporter of this campaign it is entirely possible that the greater Islamic public will see it as an endorsement of homosexuality rather than what it actually is, an anti-discriminatory campaign, and that no amount of explaining of their interpretation will make the inevitable abuse, hate and threats any easier on them and their loved ones.
