Wonder how people would feel if a player refused to play for the 11 PL teams that have gambling companies as their main shirt sponsor due to a religious opposition to gambling.
The same people that complain about the rainbows won’t say a peep about the gambling. Hell Mazraoui plays for a team that literally has a devil on its crest. If he doesn’t want to wear the rainbow he shouldn’t have to, but also these people need to stop pretending it’s about religion. One guy not wanting to do it shouldn’t be blocking everyone else from doing it. And they certainly shouldn’t be martyred for it either
 



“I don’t think I’ve had one cross word with anybody in all the years I’ve been here,” she said in a 2023 interview, marking her 55th anniversary at the club. “I look forward to coming in and having a smile on my face every day, wishing people ‘good morning’. I just enjoy being here. Not everybody can say they enjoy going to work but I do. Football has been my life.”

Kath’s contribution to the cause was always recognised by those around her. When her husband, Richard, passed away, Sir Alex Ferguson took his squad along to the funeral to pay their respects and stand in solidarity with Kath as she grieved. During 2020’s mid-pandemic lockdown, she was visited at home by players and staff members who wanted to ensure she had company. In 2022, she was recognised by the League Managers’ Association with a Service to Football award, prompting public tributes from David Beckham, Gary Neville and others who appreciated her role in their careers and in the day-to-day workings of the club.

So if he doesn’t want to wear it, fine. That doesn’t mean that the whole team should change their plans. If he wants to stand out as being the only one not wearing it, let him stand out.

This should be the answer. Fine, you don't want to wear it? Well 10 other guys will be wearing it to support the cause and you can wear your regular jacket out there. It's partly theater/moral grandstanding by the club, but that doesn't mean that they should abandon supporting a cause just because one player opposes it. One player shouldn't be above the club in this situation, just like one player isn't above the club for sporting reasons.

Open play being mediocre because Odegaard was out for a while. Doesn't take a genius to figure that out.
