The rainbow bracelet (‘One Love’)where England intends to protest against the injustices being experienced in Qatar, will be in doubt until the last minute, as confirmed Mark Bullinghamchief executive of the English football federation (FA).
The reason is, if you wear it, Harry Kane, England captain, will be shown a yellow card by the referee as soon as the match starts. The FA is currently studying whether this penalty should be meted out.
Both the English federation and Kane accepted that they would be punished if they were to wear the bracelet in violation of official FIFA protocol, but they understood that this fine would be economic, not sporting.
“It’s true that FIFA said yesterday that there could be sporting sanctions. That’s something we have to think about. We made it clear that we want to wear the armband. It’s important for us, but we also have to consider everything. implications,” Bullingham said. .
“Normally there would be a sanction, which we would pay and we would be happy with that. Well, happy is not the word, but we would be prepared for it, because we believe it is important to show our support for inclusion. If the sporting sanction is real, then we have to think, step back and see if there is another way to show our values,” he added.
In addition to the possible use of the armband, England will take a knee before kick-off in support of the move ‘Black Lives Matter’.
