They really are a stupid organisation.
I'm sure you've got a fantastic explanation as to how showing support for gay people is political.So much for the game being none political.
As long as it's the correct politics, it's ok.

Christ, I almost bought a bright orange car yesterday! The Mrs warned me off it.Orange car
Well, as I said, someone down the line will want to make a gesture about some issue in the future, could be anything. They will get fined for breaching the rules re kit. They either allow everything or nothing imo
I don't agree! Anyone coming out now is congratulated, sympathise with etcetera. Barely anyone really cares about what someone's sexuality these edays. Now 50 years ago you would d have had a point but why when things have never been fairer for all are we tearing ourselves apart over all this stuff. Ps. I don't understand why so many in the public eye feel the need to signal their virtues to everyone.They should be, but how many hundreds if not thousands of players are there that are gay, but are living in a state of fear that someone will find out and it turns into abuse at games, abuse online, loss of commercial contracts etc?
Fact is someone will step up and come out as being gay, and it will resonate with the countless other gay footballers and hopefully allow them to live their life as they want and without fear of abuse.
I look forward to that day, and if wearing a rainbow armband or rainbow laces increases the chance of that happening, then it has all been worthwhile.
It's the same at music gigs. The frontman seems to think you are there to listen to him lecture you about his politics between songs.

What would you think if we had a footballer wearing a t shirt that said "Save White girls from Grooming gangs" I think that would be seen as wrongthink by the authorities and the player in question would likely be labelled a racist or hater and might well have to go into hiding.
All gestures like this should be kept off the field of play-I only pay to watch them play- not to lecture me on what I should think.
How is being gay political? What are the gay and non-gay political parties? Just so you can clear it up for everyone.So much for the game being none political.

"Save White girls from Grooming gangs"
If you think an active professional footballer coming out as being gay, and breaking down the barriers for the countless other gay footballers who live in fear of being found out is virtue signalling, then I don’t know what else to say to you.

They were ‘holier than thou’ a few months ago when clubs threatened to break away...didn’t last long did it?UEFA really are pricks

I hope your enjoyment of the game hasn't been *totally* ruined by someone having a symbol to show that sexual orientation shouldn't matter.

didnt read my post below my original.
Although, are you seriously telling me gay rights has not been massively politicised? There are no gay political parties but there is a militant wing to the gay rights movement- undeniably so.

I wouldnt disagree with anything you said there. it just confirms my point that it has been politicised.If people weren’t homophobic or discriminate on sexual orientation, if gay folk didn’t get verbally abused or worse physically assaulted then maybe they wouldn’t need a “militant wing”. And by that I’m guessing you mean people who actually campaign for equality.
