FIFA announced that any players wearing a 'one love' wristband at the World Cup will get a yellow card.
They say LGBTI rights activism is a political thing that has no place in sports.
...thus making the wristbands
more political.
(I wonder how tempting it would be for an entire team toaim to get yellow cards... I've no idea if that'd be game-ending. I mean, if it's just the one incident can you be re-yellowed for not then taking it off, or does it just mean that you're more vulnerable to being upgraded to accumulating a red-worthy amount of yellows (two, three? - I really don't know, it's not my sport and I'm not up-to-date) so you've got to be a bit more careful with the sliding tackle[1]...)
I'm not watching Qatar, but then I wasn't going to watch it anyway. Maybe I'll not bother even making a spreadsheet, just for the sake of the spreadsheet... In the interests of ny support for LGBTQI++ I'm going to
not use OpenOffice, slightly. i.e. ever so slightly less than I would have normally (I've got it open on the other screen in front of me, but that's tracking my progress in some online game with no obvious[2] prejudice to the community...). Not even to work out who the next team might be that sends England out of the contest.
[1] Always a problem if also going commando!
[2] It has no female/etc characters, but it isn't explicitly anti non-binary, so it's better than other games and it can't even be misogynist if none of the violence is against females, right?
