It all started when former Nice sporting director Julien Fournier accused Christophe Galiter in a leaked e-mail to his bosses that he was a racist who was moaning about having too many blacks and Muslims in his team. He also claimed that the former PSG boss was forcing Muslim players not to feast during Ramadan. After the trial, Galtier was found not guilty, but the Ramadan issue was raised a few days ago, but this time, Galtier was not the main villain. A very important ‘holly month’ for Muslims is now an issue in France. And a former Chelsea and Newcastle man is openly against it. Lyon’s Diawara leaves France U19 squad after being prohibited from practising Ramadan“The hunt for Muslims” is what former Senegalese striker Demba Ba wrote on his X account as a reply to the news what “Several clubs in Ligue 1, Ligue 2 and even National are in the process of applying “anti-Ramadan” measures, which would expose players to sanctions in the event of fasting”. La chasse aux musulmans 🏹Saison #2024 https://t.co/8nBLToC8t4— Demba Ba (@dembabafoot) March 21, 2024 The news came almost at the same time as the news that Mahamadou Diawara has left Les Bleus’ U19 squad, after refusing to obey the French Football Federation (FFF) rules, which forbids Muslim players from fasting during Ramadan when training with the national team.Olunga’s boss: ‘Todibo is a Salafist, the Algerians are the worst’Former Senegalese striker, who is currently a sports advisor at Dunkirk in Ligue 2 explained his post in detail, criticizing the decision. “That you deny them facilities in the lifestyle that they have chosen, I can understand it, but no… you want to forbid them from being Muslim. Because whether we like it or not, it’s is a part of their identity that we are trying to erase. Have you ever imagined the positive impact that players could have in their performances and with respect to their coaches and superiors, if they were supported in their efforts rather than condemn. Football still has a lot to learn in human management, in my opinion” said Demba Ba.##NAJAVA_MECA_7975346##
