Atalanta and Netherlands midfielder Marten de Roon found a way around the FIFA ban on using a One Love armband at the Qatar World Cup.
All the nations participating in the tournament have been warned that anyone wearing the armband showing support for LGBTQI+ rights would be automatically shown a yellow card.
This would lead to potential dismissals and certainly the build-up of cards culminating in several bans, so they backed down.
Negotiations and rows continue, including the German Federation threatening legal action against FIFA.
The Netherlands began their competition with a 2-0 win over Senegal yesterday and De Roon found a cheeky way around the ban.
He photoshopped the One Love armbands into the picture of the team celebrating their victory.
Good for him always good to make a stand against homophobia bigotry and ignorance will never win. Glad that the ignorance and hypocrite of this region is being called out never back down to region its mind boggling for these people to be preaching respect. We will never tolerate intolerance!
Proud of this serie a player good way to make a stand. Stand against racism of all forms including homophobia no reason to accept bigotry in our beautiful game.
