Don’t start battles you cannot win
They should be wearing armbands with dollar/euro/pound signs instead, since that’s a lot closer to their hearts
Do it. Move the captains armband onc card received. Dare the ref to card everyone on behalf of bronze age misogyny.
It’s a shame and a sham, FIFA are just greedy old and heartless bastards. All those organisations like FIFA and the IOC are so freaking corrupted. I am happy that many fans choose to boycott this event. Hopefully Qatar is going to be a shitshow for the organizers and hosts.
Sub someone on in extra time with the armband just to take the card
As a gay man, I don’t give a fuck. Their armband is meaningless to me.
Would appreciate it if any of them said even a peep about the working conditions of those slaves tho.
Pussies
Come on, Denmark, it’s not like you’re winning the whole thing anyway. Rooting for you.
Abandoning a meaningless armband that they made a big deal about to show that they really didn’t care to begin with and we’re only virtue signaling, and are only in it for the sweet sweet money after all.
Excellent.
How about an armband saying “Fuck FIFA” instead? It’s not political so it should be ok.
So much for our European values.
Cowards.
Next time i’m playing football i’m gonna give my adversary a yellow card for daring to score a goal against me.
f.u.c.k fifa. fuck this WC
Pathetic. Absolutely pathetic.
There was an alternative solution, but would be difficult to do, but if major teams would play without caring to win, probably not passing the groups phase, the Cup would be a bust.
Isn’t this beeing kind of hypocrite,thought Europe is all about embracing other cultures and respecting other cultures.Well this comments say something else,respect their traditions and values.Why are you imposing that lgbtq propaganda to other nations and cultures.
Bend over and do as you’re told bitches
We should just have made a UEFA euro 2022 in our corner.
Shame. Would be great if they passed it round a few times during the game so that all the major title contenders have such a disadvantage that this tournament would go into the books as the shittiest shitshow on the planet
Cowards. Would wearing the armband in the first place do anything? No. Would wearing it now do anything? Well, it would at least show principles. Women are dying in Iran for their principles and these players won’t take a yellow card.
Absolute bunch of spineless cowards who could never dream of doing anything, that might be the slightest inconvenience for their career or their bank account. It didn’t cost them anything kneeling in 2020, now they submit without a squeak. Pathetic.
Currently watching the FIFA Uncovered documentary on Netflix. This whole development will make a nice Part 5.
