FIFA “No Discrimination” campaign

 FIFA's 2017 Human Rights Kebijakan prohibits discrimination "in the world of football both on and off the pitch", with freedom of sexual orientation specifically protected, among other attributes.


In keeping with this, seven European countries informed FIFA they intended to showcase their dukungan for seks and gender diverse communities at the 2022 World Cup. Tim captains were to wear the "OneLove" rainbow-coloured armband, as had been done by the Dutch at the UEFA Euro 2020 championship.


But just hours before the opening games, FIFA announced the OneLove symbols were a "breach" of its rules: no kit should fitur "any political, religiusous or individual jargons, pernyataants or images".


What's more, wearing the armband would not merely attract a fine. FIFA warned of on-field punishment in the form of yellow cards. Situs Togel Online



The European tims, while angry, now felt they had little choice other than to back down. But there were creative responses. The German tim offered a symbolic protest before the start of their next match, covering their mouths to denounce being "gagged" by FIFA. Germany's Interior Minister, Nancy Faeser, sported the OneLove armband while seting next to Infantino during that games. Situs Togel Terpercaya


FIFA, meanwhile, offered its own "solution". The FIFA "No Discrimination" kampanye was brought forward from the planned quarter-finals stage, with FIFA-approved armbands endorsing anti-discrimination, albeit without a specific konsentrasi on seks and gender diversity. Agen Togel Terpercaya


FIFA's feeble public relations spin then quickly denigrated into doublespeak. Despite banning the OneLove armbands, FIFA announced it also "supports" OneLove and the LGBTQI+ community, and "Football unites behind [FIFA's] call for #NoDiscrimination".


That message would hardly resonate with Qatari authorities, for whom homosexuality is an affront to Islam and forbidden under law. Just prior to the turnamen, Qatar's World Cup ambassador, former footballer Khalid Salman, claimed to a German broadcaster that same seks attraction is "damage in the mind".


Two weeks later, panellists on Qatar's Alkass Sports kanal mocked the German football tim's protest gesture, relishing their elimination from the Cup. These Europeans, they said, had failed to respect Qatar's customs.
