Sam Morsy - Rainbow captains armband (65 replies)

So last weekend all premier league captains donned the rainbow armband. With the exception of the Ipswich captain who refused to wear it on religious grounds.

It’s interesting to me that a player/person in general would refuse to wear the armband. I wonder what sort of message it would send out to a teammate or even a fan of the club that was part of the lbgt community.

Bar being homophobic, I’m not sure why he’d have an issue wearing it?

No doubt there’s a debate as to whether football should have initiatives such as the rainbow weekend, black likes matters, the poppy but I really don’t understand how any religion would stop you from supporting people

I wonder if they’ll be much fall out
