World Cup captains will not wear OneLove armband due to Fifa ‘sanctions’ – BBC News
England, Wales and other European nations will not wear the OneLove armband at the World Cup in Qatar because of the threat of players being booked.
The captains of nine countries, including England’s Harry Kane and Gareth Bale of Wales, had planned to wear the armband to promote diversity and inclusion.
A joint statement from seven football associations said they could not put their players “in a position where they could face sporting sanctions”.
“We are very frustrated by the Fifa decision which we believe is unprecedented,” the statement read.
“We were prepared to pay fines that would normally apply to breaches of kit regulations and had a strong commitment to wearing the armband.
“However, we cannot put our players in the situation where they might be booked or even forced to leave the field of play”, the statement added.

Sir Jim Ratcliffe, the billionaire co-owner of Manchester United, has told BBC Sports Editor Dan Roan that the football club has “come off the rails”.
The 72-year-old spent £1.3 billion buying a 29% stake in the club in 2024, in a deal which saw Ineos take control of football operations. Ratcliffe, a lifelong Manchester United fan, is chairman of the petrochemicals company which has a big sport investment arm.
In a wide-ranging interview with BBC Sport earlier this month Ratcliffe addressed the side’s recent struggles on the pitch, as they languish in the bottom third of the Premier League table.
He said some Manchester United players are “not good enough” and some are “overpaid”. Midfielder Casemiro, striker Rasmus Hojlund, goalkeeper Andre Onana, and wingers Antony and Jadon Sancho – who are on loan at other clubs – were name-checked by the billionaire as players his regime had “inherited”.
Ratcliffe also spoke of the club’s financial difficulties, saying it was set to run out of money by the end of 2025, unless it took action which he admitted was “unpopular”.
Yet despite the financial and team issues he referred to, Ratcliffe repeated a pledge that Manchester United would win silverware by 2028.

Today, we look at the fall out after a journalist revealed that he had been mistakenly added to a groupchat where US security leaders were discussing air strikes in Yemen.
Many of the security officials on the Signal app chat have been testifying at a worldwide threat assessment hearing in the Senate.
Adam is joined by BBC chief presenter in Washington Caitríona Perry and former Pentagon top US government security official Celeste Wallander.
Plus, a lawyer investigating former Reform UK MP Rupert Lowe has found “credible evidence” he and his staff mistreated two female team members. He denies the allegations. Chris is on to explain what’s happening.

President Trump has launched a blistering attack on the journalist who was added to a group chat by the administration’s top security officials, who then discussed top-secret war plans about an attack on Yemen.
Mr Trump called Jeffrey Goldberg, the editor of the Atlantic magazine, “a total sleazebag” and tried to play down the significance of the security breach.
The White House had earlier confirmed that Mr Goldberg was inadvertently added to the insecure Signal chat in which leading US national security officials and the Vice-President debated and planned the military assault on Houthi rebels.
Mr Goldberg read Signal messages between Vice-President JD Vance and Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth among other senior officials.. He saw details of classified military plans for the US strikes two hours before they began, including precise details of weapons packages, targets and timings.
Goldberg said he was added to the message chain, apparently by accident, after receiving a connection request from the White House National Security Adviser Michael Waltz.
Senior Democrats called the blunder “one of the most stunning military breaches of recent times” and officials involved were grilled by the Congress about their actions.
“The attacks on the Houthis have been highly successful and effective,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement. “President Trump continues to have the utmost confidence in his national security team, including National Security Advisor Mike Waltz.”
On 15 March the US launchedwhat it described as a “decisive and powerful” series of air strikes against the Houthis in Yemen. Four days earlier, on 11 March, Atlantic editor-in-chief Goldberg says he received the connection request on the encrypted messaging app Signal from an account that purported to be Mr Waltz’s. Signal is used by journalists and Washington officials because of the secure nature of its communications, the ability to create aliases, and to send disappearing messages.
Two days later, Goldberg said he was added to a Signal chat entitled “Houthi PC small group.” A number of accounts that appeared to belong to cabinet members and national security officials were included in the 18-person chat, Goldberg reported. Accounts labelled “JD Vance”, the name of the vice-president; “Pete Hegseth,” the defence secretary; and “John Ratcliffe,” director of the Central Intelligence Agency; were among names in the chain.
Top national security officials from various agencies also appeared in it, including Tulsi Gabbard, Trump’s director of national intelligence, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

At this point, they just want to spite Qataris and show them that they don't care about the county's traditions and values. Qatar isn't a country notoriously known for abusing LGBT people. Even if you want to look at it from a democracy perspective, the vast majority of their citizens wouldn't want this, who the hell do these people think they are trying to shove their values down others' throats just because they had the audacity to host the world cup. The Emir of Qatar said everyone's welcome when asked if gay people will be allowed, but it's clear as day these disgusting people just want to agitate the locals as opposed to advocating gay rights….just piss off!

January 28, 2024 at 12:01 am
normally God has emphasized and repeated it in the Koran, do not let humans make damage, or destroy something that has been created properly, according to its function, so if there has been a destruction of that balance, just wait for the consequences
