Let’s face it - braver, bolder teams would wear the One Love armbands in defiance and take the sanctions, even if it costs them success in the tournament. Some things are more important. Though I’m still hoping for subversion (the captains don’t wear them but EVERY SINGLE OTHER PLAYER AND MANAGER AND TRAINER OUT THERE DOES), I’m not holding my breath. This World Cup is living up to all the anticipated ethical ugliness protesters have been warning about since FIFA gave it to Qatar.

When businesses tell you that doing business with human rights abusers and repressive regimes helps bring about change, the only change they are talking about is the money in their pockets.

A World Cup in Russia didn’t bring about change. An Olympics in Beijing didn’t bring about change. WWE shows in Saudi Arabia haven’t brought about change. Nor have they made us reflect on our own ugly practices at home - many of which are just as bad but better hidden. They’ve just brought wealth to the organisers, sponsors, and players, and helped prop up continuing oppression.

10:04 England and Wales back down on OneLove captain armbands after Fifa sanctions threat England and Wales have backed down on wearing an armband supporting the LGBTO+ community while playing in Qatar after the threat of sporting sanctions was raised by Fifa. In a joint statement with Belgium, Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands and Switzerland, the football associations of England and Wales said: Fifa has been very clear that it will impose sporting sanctions if our captians wear the armbands on the field of play. As national federations, we can't put our players in a position where they could face sporting sanctions including bookings, so we have asked the captains not to attept to wear the armbands in Fifa World Cup games. We were prepared to pay fines ... however we cannot put out players in the situation where they might be booked or even forced to leave the field of play.

@randahl @Uffe @Stine jeg er #nypåmastodon og vil gerne finde flere inspirerende folk, som bl.a. tweetede på #dkpol . Har skyndt mig at følge jer tre, men flere anbefalinger modtages med kyshånd.

Twitterflygtning på glatis. Forsøger at finde en feature, hvor jeg kan søge gamle bekendtskaber frem. I tillid til universet udstiller jeg min uvidenhed. Nogen der kan forklare?
