A feminist association takes offense at the ovation for Jégou
Through a press release published on the networks, a local branch of the association Dare feminism denounced the kind welcome and the ovation received by Oscar Jegouwhile the third line of XV of France is still indicted for aggravated rape in Argentine. “It was with amazement that OLF17 learned that Oscar Jegou would be on the field last Saturday for the match between La Rochelle and Paris but it was with shock that we heard the cheers from the public when he scored a try “, attacked the organization in a message published on social networks. “Is the audience of Deflandre so prevented from thinking that a little restraint is impossible for them? We can't believe it. »
The association criticizes Stade Rochelais
Subsequently, the association also showed itself to be very critical of the Stade Rochelaisguilty according to her of having given blind support to Oscar Jegou. “It must be said that the Stade Rochelais management did what was necessary to ensure that no discordant note was allowed in blind support for the player. It is all the victims of sexual assault and rape who are flouted here, all those who hesitate to tell their stories, all those who do not dare to file a complaint, all those who keep the hurt and the guilt to themselves and feel insulted by these vivas. » As a reminder, a possible dismissal of the case could be taken by the courts in this case, but this has not yet been the case.
