Rabat - Moroccan footballer Abdelhamdi El Kaoutari refused to wear a T-shirt with the words "#JeSuisCharlie" prior to a game between his team Montpellier and Olympique Marseille in the French Ligue 1.
In the wake of the Charlie Hebdo massacre that claimed the lives of 12 people, Montpellier players entered the pitch for the warm-up while wearing white T-shirts stripped #JeSuisCharlie.
The Moroccan international did not wear the T-shirt. However, he participated in the Minute of silence that preceded the kickoff and, like his teammates, wore a black armband during the match that ended 2-1 for Montpellier.
