Mr. Rouger, during a hearing on November 22 before the National Assembly's commission of inquiry into "operational failures within the French sports federations", declared: "Today, there is no is not about promoting homosexuality, that's not our job. On the other hand, fighting homophobia is.”
Lawyers William Bourdon and Vincent Brengarth, counsel for the Rouge direct collective and the Stop Homophobia association, denounced "the unprecedented seriousness" of "Mr. Rouger's resumption of a theory - unfortunately too widespread in the world of football but also in the mouths of notoriously homophobic political leaders in France and abroad - according to which homosexuality would be able to spread, like a disease. According to the source close to the case, the prosecution closed the procedure on January 18, considering that Mr. Rouger benefited from “immunity” on the grounds that the remarks were made before a parliamentary commission of inquiry and are therefore protected by the Freedom of the Press Act of 1881.
“The reason for the classification, which we are going to contest, is particularly doubtful,” reacted Messrs Bourdon and Brengarth to AFP. “Given their nature, these comments are necessarily foreign to the subject of the investigation and therefore reprehensible, unless they immunize, in principle, any defamatory or insulting expression uttered in such a context and this in disregard of the rights of the parties civilians,” they added. “We are pleased to learn that the complaint has been dismissed. We were not worried, the complaint was unfounded. Nothing could be blamed on Arnaud Rouger, who has shown an unfailing commitment against homophobia for years,” said his lawyer, Me Ilana Soskin, interviewed by AFP.
During the hearing at the Assembly, the president of the LFP Vincent Labrune and Mr. Rouger indicated that they were considering an operation to combat homophobia “clearer” than the rainbow jersey in the League 1, which at least five players in the French championship had refused to wear.
