CNN
Senegalese President Macky Sall has asked that the religious convictions of his fellow countryman and Paris Saint-Germain footballer Idrissa Gana Gueye be respected, as the athlete faces homophobia accusations in France.
With French clubs' players encouraged to wear rainbow-colored numbers on the back of their shirts to commemorate World Day Against Homophobia on May 17, the 32-year-old Gueye, who is a devout Muslim, missed PSG's match against Montpellier to avoid wearing the shirt, according to French sports broadcaster RMC Sport.
PSG head coach Mauricio Pochettino, told a media conference that Gueye was excused from Saturday's game for "personal reasons."

A number of Jeffrey Epstein survivors voiced their concern in a private meeting with female Democratic lawmakers earlier this week about the intermittent disclosure of Epstein-related documents and photos by Democrats on the House Oversight Committee, sharing that the selective publication of materials was distressing, four sources familiar with the call told CNN.
