Investigation into Hate Speech
In the wake of the French women’s national football team’s recent elimination from the Women’s Euro, the French Football Federation (FFF) has announced its intention to investigate disturbing social media comments targeting several players.
Outrage Over Hate Speech
The FFF expressed outrage over the hate speech directed at the athletes following their quarterfinal loss to Germany, which was decided by penalty shootout. A spokesperson for the federation emphasized in a statement released on Wednesday that such acts of hatred are intolerable and do not reflect the values of sportsmanship and respect.
