To be fair the germans have had much worse arm bands in their time

What's wrong with wearing a rainbow armband. He is the captain of his team.

So their ideology gets a pass, but others don’t. Sick of this world. We are falling to the mob.

wow you just ended homophobia‼️

Funny how everyone wanna be gay now I guess it’s a new trend shameful greedy and selfish world most of u can’t afford nothing for your selves still live off your parent and over here mad supporting gay rights. I wish sports will just be sports, if u gay leave that shit home

I can’t believe all these ppl replying don’t understand that any change in the kit, that isn’t in the rules, has to be evaluated and decided on. That’s how rules work 😂 That’s standard stuff 🤷🏻‍♀️

Jesus!!!! Get a grip people. More to complain than a band of equality. Who the hell complains about a band of equality needs to sit in a quiet room and think things through

How can they even contemplate disciplining him when every other footballer is demonstrating their political stance at the start of every game by bending the knee. Now if we can just let them wear poppies on remembrance day then we will be equal. Politics is all over football.

Why would he face disciplinary action 🤣🤣

I thought football wanted diversity🤔. What a waste of an investigation

It was only a few years ago that footballers weren’t allowed to wear Poppies! (And that’s not political!)

Why can sports professionals not JUST play the sport they paid so well 4? Sport sld be about sport - no political agenda of any sort or personal belief sld b taken onto the pitch/track/court (b4 I called names i hv 2 gay nephews & several mixed race in-laws & we luv each other).

Very important! Latest information! Please take a few minutes to read this information! If you think it's important too, please spread the word and let more people know! Keep yourself and your family safe!

Fifa would never go after him wearing them colours. Too scared to upset them.

This will not go well. Political statements should be avoided in sports..

“Maybe he doesn’t think being gay is an abomination. Should we punish him?” - UEFA

Yet clubs were fined for wearing Remembrance Day poppies. doublestandards

I can’t believe there was even an investigation

nice
