A French league soccer match between Paris Saint-Germain and Lyon was briefly interrupted due to homophobic chanting by PSG fans, highlighting persistent discrimination issues in sports.
Referee Benoit Bastien paused play at the Parc des Princes after homophobic chants were heard, which led to PSG captain Achraf Hakimi appealing to fans to stop.
After a short delay, play resumed with a displayed message reminding fans that discriminatory chants are prohibited, underscoring the growing concern over fan behavior in football.
France's Interior Minister suggested halting matches for discriminatory chants, which, alongside a campaign group's calls for action, indicates pressure on authorities to address the issue.
