Several Toulouse players were withdrawn from the squad for Sunday's Ligue 1 game against Nantes after they refused to have their names associated with a league-wide gesture of support against homophobia, the club said.
"Some players from the professional squad have expressed their disagreement with the association of their image with the rainbow colours representing the LGBT movement," Toulouse said in a statement.
Ligue 1 and Ligue 2 players were asked this weekend to wear rainbow-coloured numbers on their shirts as a gesture of support ahead of Wednesday's International Day against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia."I have made the decision not to take part in today's game," he wrote on Twitter. "The programming of this day against homophobia is catastrophic," Roy said after 15th-placed Brest beat fellow strugglers AJ Auxerre on Sunday.
