"Sorry, but from the name of your team and in accordance with the principles of our team, a team of practising Muslims, we can not play against you. Our beliefs are far more important than a football match, once again sorry we have warned you so late," said an e-mail statement by the amateur club Creteil Bebel to the Paris Foot Gay club (PFG). After the statement, PFG quickly denounced the message, saying that their team is not only open to gay people, but also heterosexuals, blacks, and people from all religions."On our team we have blacks, whites, beurs (French citizens of North African origin) and people from all religions. It is symptomatic that the communal groupings of some clubs do not offend anyone, but the mere mention of the word "Gay" in the middle of football inspires contempt or fear," said the statement.
