💨 Abstract

The French referees union has threatened to withdraw if their safety or that of their families is compromised, following an "outpouring of hate" towards a match official after comments made by Olympique de Marseille President Pablo Longoria. Local media reported that Longoria's objections to the referee's appointment led to the slashing of the referee's family's car tyres and a legal complaint.
