This past weekend the Premier League He wants to campaign again for the LGTBI+ cause and all the captains of all the teams in the highest category of English football (20) wear rainbow armbands on their arms. All but one: the captain of Town of Ipswich Sam Morsy. The Egyptian, a practicing Muslim, refused to wear it for religious reasons during the Nottingham Forest match.
The Premier, which works for the inclusion of the LGTBI+ community, which has traditionally encountered a hostile environment, especially in the world of football, has been running this initiative for 11 years, which is generally accepted by the players. There are always exceptions, and Morsy is one, though not the only one. Ipswich Town, threatened with relegation, will be keen to underline their commitment to the campaign despite their captain’s refusal.
“Ipswich Town Football Club is committed to being a fully inclusive club that welcomes everyone. We are proud to support the Premier League’s ‘Rainbow Laces’ campaign and support the LGBTI+ community in promoting equality and acceptance,” said a speaker.
