Last week, Creteil Bebel, an amateur French team, refused to play a league match against Paris Foot
Gay - citing a range of reasons, all homophobic. They have since agreed to take the field against
PFG, after they were threatened with being banned from the league and made national headlines in
France as the homophobic Muslim team (the manager cited the fact that players on his team were
"practicing Muslims" to explain the refusal).

Big Story

It's nice to see the discussion in the comments of Dan's article eventually expanded to include
issues of homophobia and gender. My regular reader knows I've been posting on that stuff quite a

during a game, and branded the sport "institutionally homophobic.

Since it's a new year, it's a new opportunity for all the bleeding hearts around the country to
complain that football fans are too ‘aggressive' or ‘racist' or ‘homophobic.' It's pretty
irritating because, let's face it, if I can't accuse a grown man I've never met of taking it up the

start fighting homophobia. Apparently several organizations are teaming up for a promotional video
speaking out against the homophobia that exists in football - and it does. Here's the lowdown: The
Football Association (FA), the Professional Footballers' Association, the players' [.

England's Football Association is apparently developing a campaign targeting football's homophobic
culture. This isn't the first time the FA has made gestures in this direction, so pardon my
cynicism about the depth of this organization's commitment to the topic. That said, the current
campaign is being generated by Kick It Out, the FA's anti-racist program, which seems fairly
