Argentinian newspapers – country of origin of Emiliano Sala – speak of “world shame” and “repugnant” act, English and Turkish media seize the images: the song mocking the death of the former Nantes player chanted by GYM supporters on Wednesday evening arouses enormous indignation.
The club quickly condemned this act in a press release but it should not stop there.
The league’s disciplinary committee has been seized
This song was noticed by the LFP delegate, who therefore recorded this incident in his report at the end of the meeting, paving the way for an investigation and a possible sanction. There is no scale, in his texts, specifically targeting this kind of statement, but that does not mean that there will be no sanction, especially since OGC Nice has already been sanctioned this season. Nobody in the league has forgotten the throwing of bottles at OM players and the invasion of the stadium in stride, causing the loss of two points (including one suspended), three games behind closed doors and the meeting against Marseille to replay.
This time, it could be a closed session imposed on the platform concerned by this song. The next meeting of the Disciplinary Committee is scheduled for Wednesday, May 18.
The club could also decide to exclude certain supporters
For its part, the GYM can also decide to seize the CCTV images and to sanction the supporters at the origin of this song, in particular the so-called “capo”, the one who harangues the crowd and often throws the megaphone chants.
