French league suspends Monaco player for covering up LGBTQ patch during soccer match

A French soccer league has issued Monaco midfielder Mohamed Camara a four-game suspension after he covered up an LGBTQ patch on his uniform during the team's final league game earlier this month. The Ligue de Football Professionnel announced on its website Thursday that Camara, who is from Mali, would be suspended for four games after he refused to "carry out one or more actions to raise awareness of the fight against homophobia." During the team's 4-0 win over Nantes on May 19, Camara covered up the patch, which had the word "homophobia" crossed out with an "X," with white tape.
