Homophobic chanting by sections of Paris Saint\u002DGermain fans targeting Marseille players has again marred the biggest game in French soccer.
French sports minister Amelie Oudea-Castera joined the criticism of the fans. She said the disciplinary committee of the French federation will look into the case and urged PSG to file a legal complaint in a bid to “identify the perpetrators and bring them to justice, so that they can be removed from the stadiums.”
French clubs have been sanctioned with fines, and the league’s disciplinary commission also ordered the closure of stands for similar cases in recent years. Also, French law provides for up to one year’s imprisonment and a $64,000 fine when anti-gay insults are made in public.Article contentCanada women down Jamaica to take lead into second leg of Olympic qualifier
