The Rouge Direct collective is calling on the Minister of the Interior this Sunday after having recorded homophobic chants coming from the Geoffroy-Guichard stands on Saturday in Saint-Étienne.
The day after AS Saint-Étienne's victory against Strasbourg (2-0) for the 10th day of Ligue 1, the Rouge Direct collective is stepping up to the plate. “We are reporting new homophobic chants this evening during the AS Saint-Étienne match against Strasbourg during the 10th day of the French Ligue 1 championship. The match stopping procedure was not applied, denounces the whistleblower group against homophobia in stadiums.
“We ask the Minister of the Interior Bruno Retailleau and the Minister of Sports Gil Avérous, as well as the Professional Football League to finally act. New complaints will be filed by Maître Étienne Deshoulieres against the LFP and DAZN from Monday. he continues. These chants denounced by Rouge Direct were recorded in a video broadcast on their social networks. We hear the Saint-Etienne ultras, in the corners of the Geoffroy-Guichard stadium, throwing insults aimed at the Lyonnais, their historic rival that ASSE will challenge next Sunday in the championship, at the Groupama Stadium in Lyon.
