France, that liberal bastion of tolerance, has a soccer team that refuses a gay player (conspiracy, alcohol)

The article also mentions that a Muslim team was sanctioned for refusing to play a gay team:

I see what you did there; changed the parameters of the topic to try and blame America, very stealth like. The question is has any openly gay player in American been turned away from a pro team?

France being a bastion of liberal tolerance, WTF??!!

Look, don't project your own deluded fantasies and fairy tales your mommy or your beloved media disc jockey blackboard teacher told you onto others.

The world doesn't always work and people don't necessarily conform to the fabrications you've been deluded into.

Remember that once you start dealing with the real world.

How do we go from the actions of one team to the entire country? Apparently the country is liberal in that is sanctioned the muslim team already and they do have a gay team. just some pockets of intolerance. Doesn't seem an issue with France. perhaps we should look at ourselves before pointing fingers....

France has also now demanded that all the players for the national team, learn the words and sing the French national anthem before matches...

Cool story, how about actually discussing the topic at hand; or does it not fit into your world view?

Unlike you, we don't get taught our political views by some alcoholic nut scribbling on a chalkboard pushing conspiracy theories..
