Sam Morsy has drawn the wrath of the LGBTQ+ community. The captain of Ipswich Town, a practicing Muslim, refused to wear the rainbow armband during the match against Crystal Palace (0-1), during the week dedicated to the inclusion of LGBTQ+ in the English football. A decision taken for personal religious motivations and which the club, which had just been promoted to the Premier League, refused to be associated with.
“Ipswich Town Football Club is committed to being a fully inclusive club that welcomes everyone. We proudly support the Premier League’s Rainbow Laces campaign and support the LGBTQ+ community to promote equality and acceptance.declared the spokesperson for the British team. If the Egypt international is somewhat in turmoil, he is not the first to have refused to wear this particular armband, although he is the only one this season. Anel Ahmedodzic also refused to wear it last season with Sheffield United.
