French soccer league Ligue de Football Professionnel (LFP) has condemned fans who took part in anti-LGBTQ+ chanting at a match over the weekend. During Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) Football Club’s home match against RC Strasbourg on Saturday, PSG fans at Paris’s Parc des Princes stadium could be heard chanting “Les Marseillais c’est des pédés,” according to French newspaper Le Figaro. The homophobic taunt, directed at the team’s bitter rival Olympique de Marseille, translates to “people from Marseille are queers.” Le Figaro reported that the chanting went on for several minutes, even as stadium announcers twice warned the crowd to stop. According to the Associated Press, PSG fans responded to the announcers’ warnings with jeers.
