Homophobia in football

[Mon Autre]

No it isn't homophonic, and writing I love jesus basically doesn't mean what you have written. I think you ve misconstrued the meanings in your head.

I love jesus....means what it says.

I wonder why he doesn't write it on his armbands the rest of the time.

 

[blueste41]

Yes it is.

By a legal definition it isn't, you disagreeing doesn't change that fact!

I'm looking forward to the Gays vs Straights match.

It may mean Gabriel Jesus and he's just reinforcing the message.

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

Yes it is.

At face value, the act of refusal shows that they just aren't willing to show support for the campaign. The underlying reason might be that the individual is homophobic, but the act in isolation is not.

Winner plays the I can’t be arsed supporting any foundation that is trying to make a positive change so I’ll hate them all equally XI.

Aye, about as convincing as the person who is really concerned about 'all lives' but only ever seems to bring it up during a Black Lives Matter campaign. Or the person who is a big advocate of combatting mental health in men, but only on International Women's Day.

He's worn a captain's armband since December last year, and yet the only time he's felt the need to declare his love for Jesus was coincidentally the one week where they've decided to put a rainbow flag on it. If he did it once, you could even give him the benefit of the doubt for a clumsy attempt to show that he's a Christian and has no issues with being gay. Unfortunately, his dad has come out and torpedoed any idea of that with this quote.



And then he's doubled down after being warned about it, so he's obviously writing it to undermine the message of the armband. He might as well have written 'no homo' on it so that no-one would think he's gay for wearing it.

Anyway, he could do far worse than to look at his predecessor as Crystal Palace captain, Joel Ward, a devout Christian.

Totally agree. It's amazing how people can't see this as it's obvious he knew exactly what he was doing by scrawling that on a rainbow flag armband. I know exactly what he meant and it doesn't look good.
