The main broadcaster of Ligue 1 has decided to withdraw the replay of the clash between Olympique Lyonnais and Olympique de Marseille due to elements of a discriminatory nature or inciting hatred.
The clash between Olympique Lyonnais and Olympique de Marseille was not very good publicity for Ligue 1. If there was tension between two injured beasts, the spectacle was rarely there. . “There are still things to do because what we are proposing secondly is very average. Above all, we were very solid, but in the game, it was very weak », breathed Alexandre Lacazette at the end of the meeting despite the success of Les Gones.
The poor performance of the two teams does not, however, explain Amazon Prime Video’s decision to remove the replay of the match from its services. The reason is quite different and is due to excesses in the stands if we refer to the warning message broadcast by the Ligue 1 broadcaster on its platform.
Homophobic chants heard in the stands
“Due to events advocating hatred, violence or discrimination against a person or group of people during the match, the replay of this match is not available,” Amazon Prime Video indicated, without giving further explanations.
According to So Foot, this heavy decision by Amazon Prime Video would have been motivated by homophobic chants on the sidelines of the meeting. Of the “Marseille, we fuck you” descending from the stands would have been heard during the match, forcing the platform to withdraw the match from its services as long as its chants were not masked. And this in order to avoid complaints from associations fighting against homophobia.
