This Tuesday evening at Portman Road, during the match between Ipswich Town and Crystal Palace, there will be several initiatives to promote the integration of the LGBTQ+ community, on the occasion of operation “Raimbow Laces”. “Ipswich Town is committed to being a fully inclusive club that welcomes everyone,” a spokesperson for the English club told Mirror. We support the LGBTQ+ community in promoting equality and acceptance. »
But a grain of sand came to halt this wonderful operation. Tractor Boys captain, Egyptian Sam Morsy, refused to wear the rainbow armband on Saturday during the match against Nottingham Forest, which ended in a defeat for the club promoted this year to the Premier League. And he should do the same thing tonight against the Eagles.
“We respect the decision of our captain Sam Morsy, who chose not to wear the rainbow captain’s armband due to his religious beliefs,” said the spokesperson for the English club. We will continue to develop an environment where everyone is valued and respected, both on and off the field. »
