My point being they don't usually acknowledge it so blatantly.

It's a bit like James Maclean and November 11. He's never going to support it so why waste everyone's time trying to force him to.
If Mazroaui, Guehi, the Ipswich player etc dont support gay rights (for whatever reason) leave them to it. Let the people that do want to support the campaign support it, and those that don't can suit themselves.
It's a ridiculous distraction where more attention is paid to those that don't support the campaign than the campaign itself.

Yes, in these situations, which is my point, I'm not saying this refusal is the first time it's happened, I'm saying it's wrong.
I’m not sure about - if they want to publicly display their prejudice, let them go for it. Doesn’t seem in the spirit of things.

I don't see the issue with Guehi showing his love for fellow player Gabriel Jesus.

Couldn't disagree more. Letting bigots display bigotry and bring their organisation into disrepute is certainly a stance.

In pretty much all Christian countries it is illegal to discriminate against homosexuals. Gays still face discrimination in Muslim countries. The head of the Qatar World Cup organising committee got FIFA to ban rainbow armbands as they were against Islamic values.

You're mistaking my comment being regarding personal action, not the entire team. Can leave it there though.

Some players have principles which they prioritise based on religion and upbringing. Not wearing a jacket is not discriminatory behaviour. Forcing him too would be though. Further, there may be consequences for Mazraoui in his home country if he wore it.
Maybe Australia is anti religion now.
One thing is for sure. Adam Crafton is a w***er. It has taken attention away from the cause he supposedly supports.

Eh? The point is about the whole team not wearing them.

I wish Aus was anti religion though.

There'd be plenty of gay players and staff at United though.

I am not sure why you deleted your post chef but it’s clear you mean from the ladies team? The only openly gay male sportsperson in the world I know of is Josh Cavallo. It’s unfortunately not something men are comfortable with in the sporting world. But there are plenty of openly gay female sportspeople, so perhaps United do have plenty.

Wtf does he need support for? If he's embarrassed to be the only one being a bigot maybe that's a hint.

They can do that pretty easily without joining in. It's a shocking look.
