The LFP (French Professional Football League) disciplinary committee has decided not to pursue any action regarding the racist abuse directed at André Ayew during Marseille’s victory against Nice (1-0) in Ligue 1. The decision is based on the fact that the meeting delegate did not include these incidents in the final report, which limits the commission’s authority to address the matter.
However, other incidents noted in the report, such as the throwing of batteries and spitting by the Nice supporters on press photographers, may lead to sanctions. The official report has highlighted these actions, and the disciplinary committee could take measures against those responsible.
The handling of incidents related to racism in football remains a topic of discussion and concern. In this case, the decision not to pursue action in the absence of a clear mention in the delegate’s report raises questions about the effectiveness of current protocols in addressing such serious issues within the sport
