FFF President: Racism In Football "Doesn't Exist"
FFF president Nöel Le Graët responds to alleged racism during Le Classique by saying racism in sports "doesn't exist"
French Football Federation president Nöel Le Graët spoke with BFM Business and addressed Neymar's accusation that he was the target of a racial slur from Alvaro Gozalez during PSG's Sunday defeat to Marseille:
“When a black guy scores a goal, the whole stadium is on its feet. This phenomenon of racism in sport, and in football in particular, does not exist at all or barely exists.”
"It is a match that the entirety of France has anticipation for. It went badly. The behaviour of the players was not exemplary. We deplore that. It is a shame. They were not able to keep their cool, nor give the show that we were expecting."
