Survey on homophobia in French professional football

Survey on homophobia in French professional football

A survey about intolerance and in particular homophobia in French professional football states that homophobia is the leading form of discrimination in this sphere.

 

At the request of Paris Foot Gay - an amateur local league football club from Paris - there was undertaken a survey on intolerance and in particular homophobia in French professional football. Thirteen First, Second and National League clubs accepted to join this project.
The results show that homophobia ranks first among all discriminations in this sphere. This record is even worse in training centers where prevails a general intolerance. Even if a better acceptation of homosexuality in football is noted, all conditions are not fulfilled to allow the coming out of a French gay footballer.
