Football has an uncomfortable relationship with homosexuality. Rarely has this been shown so clearly as in the past few days in the case of Idrissa Gueye.
“Personal reasons”: The footballer Idrissa Gueye did not want to play in a rainbow jersey.
Idrissa Gueye is playing the most successful season of his career. He won the African continental championship with Senegal in February and was welcomed home as a hero afterwards.
