If they felt that strongly they would walk off the pitch. Absolutely agree. I assume FIFA have gone above the players and threatened something. Players now told to adhere.

MachoFantastico Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 Absolutely pathetic and spineless from the FA, but should we really be surprised. FIFA is a cancer on the sport in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magnkarl Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 Leave it to Denmark and likely Neuer to do it. Then the rest will follow. Could see one of the Welsh doing it too, they've got that flippant 'fu-attitude'. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post MachoFantastico Posted November 21, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted November 21, 2022 Given how crap we'll probably do in this World Cup, I'd much rather see them take a stand, take the yellow and show what a total joke this World Cup is. I'd actually respect them for that. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 You'll probably find it's Southgate who's bottled it along with the FA. Imagine if his precious Kane gets another yellow and a ban. It's all a front anyway, do you really think footballers care, I doubt at least 50% just do as they are told, including Kane. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably not, as most of them holiday in Dubai every year, same laws. Edited November 21, 2022 by duke313 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonesy7211 Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 So Fifa banning the use of the Rainbow armbands because their intolerant paymasters say so. https://www.fifa.com/social-impact Quote Actively working to improve the lives of people around the world through the work of FIFA Foundation and our Social Responsibility programmes. FIFA is working with governments, global and regional development agencies, human rights groups, international and local non-profit organisations and former players to promote a fairer, more equal society through football. Their social impact statement is utter, complete, and total horse shit. I could not hold them in greater contempt. Any decent footballing and political organization should kick Fifa into touch. Walk away from the shameless cash mad bastards. Also, I don't see how wearing the rainbow armband is a political gesture. It's just a decent way of showing support for equality. What's political about that? You're either in support of homophobia or you're not. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a shame that Scotland never made it because you know they would probably be more motivated to wear it now as a response to this blatant paid censorship by the Qatari government in partnership with FIFA.
