Mohamed Camara has not openly declared that he is homophobic and accepts it. But it’s just like.

Sunday evening, during the 34th and final day of Ligue 1, AS Monaco annihilated FC Nantes (4-0). In the 24th minute of play, Mohamed Camara scored a goal from the penalty spot.

During his celebration in front of the television cameras, it was obvious that the Malian international had hidden the rainbow logo present on all L1 jerseys to demonstrate the commitment of French football to fight against homophobia . The 24-year-old midfielder also blackened the logo on the sleeve of his jersey.

Doubt is no longer allowed

For Yoann Lemaire, it is a clear way of asserting his homophobia. “Before, players played on a form of ambiguity by saying that they did not want to promote homosexuality. Which was already stupid. There, the Camara case which hides the ‘homophobia’ badge striped in red, is homophobia assumed purely and simply. We are sure of it. How could the club let this happen? And the referee? »asks the president of the “Foot Ensemble” association during an interview given to Eurosport.

On Monday, the Minister of Sports, Amélie Oudéa-Castéra, deplored “unacceptable behavior” and called for sanctions for Mohamed Camara. For the moment, the Professional Football League (LFP) seems to be showing a certain laxity in this matter.
