    That’s absolutely insane. Banning a gesture like this is just as political as letting it go.

    FIFA can’t have their cake and eat it, either they are for equality or they aren’t. If they aren’t they have to ban every outreach and equality scheme around the world.

    It isn’t true. Lifted off social media without looking at the source or comments.

    The fact that everyone accepted that it was true, tells you exactly when we are at the moment.

    Why would you need to quote their religion when describing something they have done? How come the headline writers did not describe Fred and Rose West as 'Christian couple who murdered girls and bury them under the patio'.

    For a Country with so many people who only celebrate religion for a couple of days off in late December its odd that so many are experts in determining someones belief just by looking at them.

    I never really thought it was about the armbands, more about how Qatar got the world cup, the corruption that has clearly gone on in FIFA, and this situation whereby Infantino seems to have curried favour with most of the lesser countries to vote for him remaining in power. The whole system in FIFA, which Havelange started and Blatter continued, which Infantino still keeps in place, is run to allow individuals to personally gain and take advantage of its way of working.

    yeah I know, and agree.
    I only mention the armbands as that's what one or two comments after mentioned, and because the headline could be taken as implying armbands was the driving issue.

    Perhaps because time and again such atrocities are explicitly done against the West in the name of Islam?
    As far as I know, Fred & Rose West didn't murder in the name of God / Christianity.

    Because Rose and Fred West weren’t doing it in the name of Christianity shouting God Is Great! whilst they did it.
    Why do you think the Muslims who blow up people do it? In the name of Seventh Day Adventists or Baptists. Christ on a bike!
