Honestly cannot understand why most people responding here are so anti-LGBTQ+ in football. Same football that is littered with hooliganism and racism and none of these folks here talk. No sin is superior to another sin. A thief is equally as sinful as a liar

Glad the madness is fading away. God be praised.

LGBTQ people forcing sexual perversions and unnatural gender propaganda down everyone's throat in the name of love and acceptance. Arrant nonsense!

They have recently been constituting a form of nuisance with their crappy movement!

No, it wasn’t about causing controversy the issue was a lack of clear direction about what football truly represents. The sport became entangled in political matters, such as during the Ukraine conflict when Abramovich was pressured to sell the club, or when Russian teams were banned from international competitions. Football should stay focused on the fans and the love of the game, not be used as a platform for political or social agendas. grin grin
You are very funny! There is nothing like football without politics,infact there is politics in everything.Russia could have been kicked out of Ukraine by now if the world isn’t sick,anyway I am happy Trump and Elon killed the woke virus

Well, as much as homophobia has no place in a civilised society, let us also respect people choices

I am NOT a religious guy for example, and see religion as folly, but I wont impose my own view on another

Its a case of live and let's live
No forcing anyone to accept or reject
.When one becomes homophobic, then you drop the hammer on the coconut head

🚨 BREAKING NEWS:

The Premier League has announced a ban on rainbow laces and captain’s armbands for the upcoming season, stating that the initiative was causing more controversy than positive impact.

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2025/08/07/premier-league-players-take-the-knee-lionesses-jess-carter/
WHY WAS IT APPROVED BEFORE?

WHY DIDN'T THEY BANNED IT UNDER BIDEN ADMINISTRATION? OH THEY SUDDENLY REALIZED THAT IT WAS CAUSING CONTROVERSY, WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME EPL CARE ABOUT CONTROVERSY?



WHEN PLAYERS WERE BANNED AND FINED FOR REFUSING TO WEAR THAT IMMORAL COLOUR WASN'T IT CAUSING CONTROVERSY?

I ALSO GUESS THAT TAKING A KNEE BEFORE MATCHES IS ALSO A CONTROVERSY NOW.


ALL THESE THINGS ARE HAPPENING BECAUSE TRUMP HAS THREATENED THEM WITH SANCTIONS AND TARIFFS FOR GOING WOKE

When it's time let's talk about racism and every other sin in football, but for now, let's talk down LGBTQ, it's a cancer... it's worse than cancer!

The rainbow was a sign of God's covenant to mankind.
We have to restore it to what it truly stands for.

Na your mind you talk but let me tell you, politics is not shy, politics is not afraid of anything, politics does not hate neither does politics love. Anywhere people gather, politics MUST be there as well.

That's why it's good for players to have the audacity to take a stand against such evil (woke) agenda.

How can you be shoving your own perverted beliefs down the throats of players who signed up to play football not promote rubbish?

I already knew the message was loud and clear so it was only a matter of time.

Good riddance to bad rubbish!

Kudos to all those who played a role to put an end to this injustice in the premier league. 👍👍👍

God bless 🙏
I AM SORRY TO DISAPPOINT YOU, NOBODY PLAYED ANY ROLE TO PUT THIS NONSENSE DOWN EXCEPT TRUMP.

ALL THE PLAYERS, MANAGERS AND OWNERS BOTH MUSLIMS AND CHRISTIANS SWALLOW UP THIS IMMORALITY, THEY NEVER CRITICIZED FA, EVERYONE WANTED TO BE SEEN AS GOOD.

IT TAKES TRUMP THREATS TO SANITIZED THE SYSTEM.


MAKE I HEAR ANY PLAYER COMING OUT TOMORROW TO SAY THAT HE WAS AGAINST THE RAINBOW ARMBAND, I WILL CURSED SUCH A PLAYER

It just shows the hypocrisy of the West, forcing everybody to their ways.

I have never seen nor heard of any captain forced to wear a captain band brandished with racial slur nor cult/hooligan group insignia.
We don't support racism nor hooliganism too

Why you should have your own values and not because of money compromise your values. The West, everything is politics. No values or foundation. Everything na clout.
