Now this is a start

Filed under: Ligue 1, Racism

Unfortunately Racism still exists throughout the world of football, but if Ligue 1 president Frederic Theriez has his way, any fan or player caught will be punished by the full extent of the law and banned from entering any ground for games. In a game last night, Moroccan and Valenciennes captain Abdeslam Ouaddou went into the stands after a “fan” shouted racist remarks at him. Ouaddou was given a yellow card for leaving the field of play and while his team lost 2-1 to Metz, the police got involved (rightly so) and Ouaddou is not only pressing charges, but suing as well.
