Homophobic Chants Continue: Rennes Supporters Join Controversy

A week after the controversy arising from the homophobic chants heard at the Parc des Princes during PSG-OM, similar insults were chanted by Rennes supporters this Sunday evening against Nantes.

One more example. Rennes supporters sang homophobic chants during the meeting between Rennes and Nantes on Sunday at Roazhon Park during this derby counting for the seventh day of Ligue 1.

In the 21st minute of the match, while Rennes led 1-0 after a penalty from Benjamin Bourigeaud, ultras from the Roazhon Celtic Kop sang chants targeting the Nantes residents but also one of the Canaries players, Matthis Abline.

A banner stating “Abline, a one-way ticket” was brandished in the same stand, referring to the departure this summer from Stade Rennais of the 20-year-old player, loaned to the Canaries for the season. In reaction, part of the stadium whistled chants targeting the player.

A message to the Parc des Princes

This incident comes a week after the homophobic chants sung by Parisian supporters during the PSG match at the Parc des Princes against OM (4-0) which led to numerous reactions. The Minister of Sports Amélie Oudéa-Castéra particularly regretted that the meeting was not interrupted following the chants.

Summoned by the disciplinary committee of the Professional Football League (LFP), the leaders of PSG will be heard on Thursday.

Sunday evening, during the women’s D1 clash between Paris Saint-Germain and Olympique Lyonnais at the Parc des Princes, the Parisian Ultras displayed a banner for several minutes in the Auteuil stand “Paris against discrimination and recovery”.
