(Paris) A French gay soccer team says its members were victims of homophobia when a team of Muslim players refused to play a match against them.

The Paris Foot Gay team says Tuesday it received an e-mail from the Creteil Bebel club canceling a match scheduled for last Sunday.

“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.”

1. Cooties!!!!!!

[no_hypocrisy]

2. That's just plain wrong.

A team should be suspended or expunged from the league if it feels that strongly about its "principles".

7. actually they are risking a lawsuit.

discriminating people for their sexual belonging is a crime here.

3. lol afraid they might lose to a bunch of homosexuals...whatta great religion lol nt

5. Exactly, msongs. They'd probably be stoned to death by their "fans" if they lost to a team

of queers.

Just when you think the religions of the world can't come up with more stupid, hateful shit, they do.

6. of course the same principles don't apply to OTHER INFIDEL CHRISTIAN TEAMS

8. Its islam and the sharia in action...again!

9. Sounds like the Creteil Bebel club is a soccer club for pansies.

At least the Paris Foot Gay team tried.

They are worried about defections.

12. Have fun playing in the dirt kicking a ball made of tape....

They will be lucky if the get to play any team now.

13. You know what it is?

They are afraid to lose to homosexuals. That is the long and short of it.

They may also fear for their lives if they return to their Muslim homelands

Then again, I wonder if they would object to playing a team of lesbians.

16. And if it had been a team with Jews in it, Creteil Bebel club would have cancelled the match as well

Nothing like religious intolerance and bigotry!
