Homophobic comments: Metz footballer Kévin N’Doram summoned by the LFP Disciplinary Committee

This Wednesday evening, some were surprised not to see the name of Kévin N’Doram appear in the weekly report of the Disciplinary Committee of the LFP. The FC Metz player had indeed been the author of a homophobic skid Friday evening at halftime of the match against Olympique de Marseille. “We lack character. Excuse me for the term, but we play like fags. “, he had swung at the microphone of Prime Video, before apologizing at the end of the meeting. “I said things out of frustration and annoyance. I didn’t mean to offend anyone, that was not the point. I apologize. »

According to our information, the LFP has not abandoned the file and says it is following the “classic” procedure. The Disciplinary Committee decided Wednesday evening to summon the player for its meeting on August 30 after a referral from the FFF’s national ethics council. This exit had immediately aroused indignation, in particular on the part of certain associations, such as Rouge Direct, calling for sanctioning the French footballer, son of the famous Japhet N’Doram.

As a reminder, the disciplinary regulations of the FFF, valid in the championships managed by the LFP, stipulate that “offensive / rude behavior” is punished by three games of suspension if it occurs during the meeting. This can go up to four if the incident is outside the game. But the sanction can rise to 10 matches in the event of “discriminatory behavior”.
