That's what I thought. Money or they have been ever so politely told if they go through with the LBGTQ armband forget ANY chance of hosting a WC for the foreseeable.Strange how all nations have given such a limp response - probably threatened with money in one way or another. I just hope some of our players have more balls than the FA. The good thing is though that this story stays in the news for now!!
Yup, because it's the world cup. FIFA don't get to take that off me, regardless of how loathsome they are.You're all watching it though, aren't you?
The way it was announced, sanctioned.. that’s not how protests go down. I mean it’s a lot to be thinking about getting your head chopped off for wearing an armband.Let's be honest here, the rainbow armband is a complete powder puff statement in the first place. It should not be down to individuals to display/ make a statement. Our football governing body has had years and years to consider this and the best it came up with was a rainbow band after sleepwalking into this sham tournament
It stinks - a joint statement - I can’t believe that wasn’t pre prepared for them and they were told to issue it or else!That's what I thought. Money or they have been ever so politely told if they go through with the LBGTQ armband forget ANY chance of hosting a WC for the foreseeable.
Yep if FIFA can give tacit endorsement to being anti-LGBT and our FA go along with it, then how on earth can they expect anyone to take them seriously on their campaigns against racism and sexism in the game?Every gesture/initiative the FA comes out with from now on is worthless really isn't it?
and then what if they are arrested or attacked or just disappear?I really a hope a player being interviewed after a game comes out live on air and calls out the utter disgrace that Qatar hosting the world cup is, and how happy he'll be to get back to the hotel so his partner can suck him off.
They wouldn't dare, he'd probably be deported for being gay. His team mates should then walk in protest, with the rest of the developed world, Iran and Qatar can play each other in the medieval backwards disgrace world trophy and pat each other on the back.and then what if they are arrested or attacked or just disappear?
Money talks though.They wouldn't dare, he'd probably be deported for being gay. His team mates should then walk in protest, with the rest of the developed world, Iran and Qatar can play each other in the medieval backwards disgrace world trophy and pat each other on the back.
Honestly if we (as the developed western world) had invested everything we've spent on middle east military intervention since the first Iraq war on solar, wind, nuclear, hydrogen vehicles and insulating homes and businesses these backwards desert oligarchs would have barely any hold over us.
Budweiser should pick up the tab for moving the tournament!They wouldn't dare, he'd probably be deported for being gay. His team mates should then walk in protest, with the rest of the developed world, Iran and Qatar can play each other in the medieval backwards disgrace world trophy and pat each other on the back.
We are just being sold off by our American Prime MinistersHonestly if we (as the developed western world) had invested everything we've spent on middle east military intervention since the first Iraq war on solar, wind, nuclear, hydrogen vehicles and insulating homes and businesses these backwards desert oligarchs would have barely any hold over us.
That's my point Roofie, their money talks as we as the developed world have made Russia and the middle east our energy suppliers so politically, economically, and sportingly now we have to bend the knee or doff our caps to them or they won't invest or they'll turn the lights out.Money talks though.
Its power.
Lip service.
The veil of "equality and inclusion" soon falls away where money is concerned.
Most of the recent ones were funded in part by Russia.............We are just being sold off by our American Prime Ministers
