The women’s football club of Plaisance-du-Touch (Haute-Garonne) filed a complaint, after racist and sexist insults uttered against its players, reports France Bleu Occitanie, Tuesday November 19.
“Whores”, “bugnoules”, niggas” writes the club in a press release, to cite the insults which targeted the players of the U18 women’s team of Plaisance-du-Touch, a town on the outskirts of Toulouse. They were launched on Saturday November 16, during a trip to Lannemezan (Hautes-Pyrénées), on the lawn of Plateau Nestes Football, by supporters of the opposing club, according to the Plaisance-du-Touch club.
“Our players came to play football, their passion is their means of expression, and not to become the target of hatred and verbal violence,” deplores the club. “We strongly condemn these acts and demand that firm and rapid measures be taken by the competent authorities so that this type of behavior is punished in an exemplary manner”continues the press release.
