Results: French soccer club excludes players after they refuse to participate in anti-homophobia campaign

French teams playing in the country's top two divisions were asked to don rainbow-colored numbers and hold banners as a way of raising attention for International Day against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia. "Some players of the professional squad have expressed their disagreement regarding the association of their image with the rainbow colors representing the LGBT movement," Toulouse FC said in a statement Sunday. "Although respecting the individual choices of its players, and after numerous exchanges, the Toulouse Football Club has chosen to exclude these players from the game," the Ligue 1 club added. Do you think Toulouse FC made the right decision by excluding players who refused to participate in the anti-homophobia campaign?

FC Nantes' Egyptian international Mostafa Mohamed also posted on social media Sunday explaining his reasons for not participating in the campaign and the fixture. "I don't want to argue at all but I have to state my position," Mohamed tweeted."I respect all differences. I respect all beliefs and convictions. This respect extends to others but also includes respect for my personal beliefs. FC Nantes said in a statement they had decided to sanction Mohamed financially after he refused to play "at a time when FC Nantes is fighting to stay in Ligue 1." Do you agree with the financial sanctions imposed on Mostafa Mohamed by FC Nantes?
