The Gabonese international striker of Saint-Étienne (L1) Denis Bouanga denounced Sunday a “nauseating video” of a racist nature having targeted him and demanded an “exemplary sanction” against their authors, members of a group of supporters of the Greens. The Le Mans-born player was the target of racist abuse from members of a group of Saint-Etienne supporters in a video sent via a social network. “I became aware at the end of the week of a video, a nauseating video, a video that hurts their authors. It shocked me, surprised me, but I have thick leather, ”Bouanga reacted on Sunday evening in a message posted on Twitter. “We live a complex season, I live a complex season, but I know that the green earth has nothing to do with racism, xenophobia”, wrote the former player of Nîmes, pointing to the action of a “minority fact” that should be kept “in the dark”. The video in question was produced by members of the Magic Fans collective, a group of ultras from Saint-Etienne who “strongly” condemned the initiative of a “small group of people who have neither the values nor the mentality of our group”. In a statement, the collective also condemned “disrespectful, hurtful and xenophobic remarks”.
