Sent off against Burnley during Chelsea’s Premier League draw on Saturday (1-1), Wesley Fofana was the victim of racist insults after the match on his social networks. An unfortunately recurring scourge in recent times. Three days after these immoral acts, the French Football Federation provided its support to the former Stéphanois.
“ For several days, Wesley Fofana has been the target of unacceptable racist remarks. The FFF gives him its full support and condemns these unspeakable attacks in the strongest possible terms. Racism is not an opinion. It’s a crime. We cannot tolerate hatred in our sport. The jersey we wear, whatever it is, represents much more than a club or a selection: it carries values of respect, commitment and solidarity. Attacking a player for the color of his skin is attacking these values. The field must remain a space of passion, pride and unity », indicated the 3F on its account X.
