French Gay Soccer Team Snubbed by Muslim Team

[Note: Report is in French] AFP: "Because of the principles of our team, which is a team of devout Muslims, we can't play against you," the e-mail said, according to Paris Foot Gay. The e-mail received Saturday said, "Our convictions are much more important than a simple football match."

Football is not about your orientation, or your religion. The second that you make it about either one, you give anyone the right to refuse to associate with you.

Starting a club that’s devoted to ‘gay’ athletes is just a ploy to invite controversy. No purpose is served, other than making a statement. Sometimes, so-called “discrimination” not only has a valid purpose, but is warranted.

Actually, American football is for those who aren’t coordinated or athletic enough to play soccer. (real football) I prefer MMA for sports based on gratuitous violence. (that’s probably for sissies, too, though)

The truth is the Muslim team, just couldn’t live with themselves should they loose to the “happy lads” from France! So they chose not to play…
