Paris Saint-Germain Idrissa Gueye will have to answer allegations that he missed his team's last Ligue 1 match in protest at the division's gesture in support of LGBTQI+ rights.

So the French FA state that by refusing to take part in this collective initiative, Idrissa Gueye could be validating discriminatory behaviour... and not only against the LGBTQI+ community.

In response, the Senegalese President in effect states that by seeking to force Idrissa Gueye into this 'collective initiative' the French FA could be validating discriminatory behaviour against anyone with Gueye's religious beliefs.

Either they're both right or they're both wrong, but surely the lesson for football authorities is to respect each player's right to engage or not engage in such initiatives, or perhaps better still, just concentrate on playing football FFS!

As I've said before, whether it's 22 players on a football field or 30,000 fans in a football stadium, the only thing you can safely assume they all agree with is that they're there for a football match.
