A news item, one more, which tarnishes the reputation of football stadiums. This Friday evening, at La Beaujoire, a 39-year-old father suffered a heart attack in the midst of an altercation in the stands with Nantes supporters, on the sidelines of the Ligue 1 match against OM (1-1). He was able to be saved by emergency workers after suffering two cardiac arrests but is still in intensive care, according to information from France Blue Ocean this Saturday afternoon.
It was the mother who denounced the case on X – formerly Twitter), a little earlier in the day. A missive then confirmed by the police, and several local media including Ocean Press. “Yesterday was my 6-year-old son’s first game at La Beaujoire and not everything went well. Our fault: being an OM supporter and letting him wear his jersey for the match, says this woman. We were attacked during the match: spitting, insults, beers thrown in the face. My husband, wanting to defend his family, suffered a heart attack in the gallery. And there again some idiots from the Loire tribune had no respect: selfies in front of the ambulance, insults again. »
She continues, ironically thanking “those incompetent stewards who did nothing because it was not their platform”.
