During the Coupe de France quarter-final between Olympique de Marseille and Toulouse, Pape Demba Diop was one of the shooters for the penalty shootout. The Senegalese converted his attempt, contributing to his club’s qualification.
To celebrate his duel won against GerĂłnimo Rulli, the defensive midfielder launched a provocation towards the OM supporters. In front of the Orange VĂ©lodrome public, the player trained at FC Diambars made the sign of Jul, the popular singer from the Marseille city.
Following the elimination of OM, a “supporter” found nothing better than to send him a racist message to vent his frustration. Even going so far as to wish him death. The TFC expressed its support for Pape Demba Diop.
Téfécé does not let it pass
“Following yesterday’s meeting (Wednesday)
evening, Pape Demba Diop was the target of racist messages on his social networks. The entire club and its community would like to express their full support in the face of these intolerable and totally unacceptable attacks.we can read in a press release published by the Violets.
“Our institution condemns with the greatest firmness all forms of racism and discrimination, which have no place in sport or in our society”concludes the text. Diop arrived at Téfécé last summer, from RC Strasbourg.
