Acclaimed Oscar Jegou, a feminist association protests against “the total absence of ethics at Stade Rochelais” and the Deflandre public

Oscar Jégou's return to the field went rather very well on a sporting level. But the cheers from the public at the Marcel Deflandre stadium for the third row, who is still indicted for aggravated rape, have largely divided opinion. Some have in fact criticized this strong support from the public when no case has yet been dismissed, and that bringing Jégou back so soon was a terrible message to send to victims of sexual violence.

“We will get justice”

This situation went so far as to officially react to a feminist association, “Dare to Feminism 17”, which published a message on its social networks criticizing all this support for Jégou. Already the return of the French international to the field is highly questionable according to the members of this association, the chants of the public in his favor are absolutely unacceptable.

Is Deflandre's audience so prevented from thinking that a little restraint is impossible for them? We can't believe it. But it must be said that the Stade Rochelais management did what was necessary so that no discordant note was allowed in blind support for the player (…) Beyond this specific affair, these are all the victims of sexual assault and rape which are flouted here (…) What is left for them to say, to these women who have been forced, beaten, deceived, drugged, raped? “Nothing” shouts the stadium audience, cheering the man who is still charged with aggravated rape because he was committed in a meeting. Dare feminism 17, and many men and women are speaking out against this total lack of ethics of the La Rochelle stadium and this public. The women's struggle will not stop there and we will obtain justice. Everyone will know if he was on the good side or not.
