Paris city hall to take legal action against PSG fans

The city of Paris is taking legal action after sections of PSG fans targeted Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo "with sexist insults and homophobic chants" during a Ligue 1 match Saturday, "amid a bitter feud over the club’s uncertain future at its home stadium." Hidalgo, who is "opposed to a sale of the stadium to the soccer club," will "in addition lodge a complaint in her own name for public insults." The matter will also be "referred to the French league's disciplinary committee." PSG fans reportedly "displayed a number of banners targeting Hidalgo" during PSG's win against Lille at the Parc des Princes. PSG last week confirmed plans to leave its home stadium after Paris city officials decided the venue was not for sale (AP, 2/13).
