ENGLAND, GERMANY and five other European teams at the World Cup on Monday abandoned plans to wear a rainbow-themed armband in support of LGBTQ rights, citing the threat of disciplinary action from Fifa.
“Fifa has been very clear that it will impose sporting sanctions if our captains wear the armbands on the field of play,” the seven teams said in a joint statement.
Under Fifa rules, players wearing kit that is not authorised by football’s world governing body could be shown a yellow card.
If that player was then shown a second yellow card, they would be sent off.
The “OneLove” armband due to be worn by the likes of England captain Harry Kane and Germany counterpart Manuel Neuer is designed as part of a campaign to promote inclusivity.
The armbands had widely been viewed as a symbolic protest against laws in the World Cup host nation Qatar, where homosexuality is illegal.

Was just in Mexico and people always ask on Trip Advisor if they allow nude/topless sunbathing. The answer is no except for specific adult only resorts.
But, that asshole with the rainbow shirt KNEW he was going to a muslim place; he was wearing it to provoke people and he succeeded.
On the other hand, it's a great way for a masochist to get a flogging.
