The armband that the seven countries wanted to do, Denmark’s colour accented shirt. They know it has to go through FIFA. Some of the stuff I’ve listened from actual Qataris is they actually don’t want it over highlighting (LGBT and women rights) as they fear the backlash from their government Your second point is whataboutery. You are moving the goal posts. It goes back to what FIFA deem in their own hosting qualification. But it’s affecting enough to western countries, that the UK government feels the need to publish this on their website - https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/qatar-information-for-victims-of-rape-and-sexual-assault/guidance-for-victims-of-rape-and-sexual-assault-in-qatar I described elsewhere I know of a British lad who met a fellow ex Pat in Doha. She fell pregnant and they effectively had to escape without anyone noticing the pattern. Under the guise of FIFA hosting criteria, Qatar does not fit. That’s the objection - the objection of Qatar as a nation is a different thing and I understand the point of view that to a degree it’s their culture and their decision making (which is very funny really when it was still British protected until 1971) The last reported use of lashings I can see is 2016. Probably in part because of the coverage in recent years on Qatar. Rules of Qatar are very simple. If you’re Muslim you live by the Muslim laws in the country. If you aren’t you follow secular law and will be tried differently. Fifa should never have given the world cup to Qatar. By all means attack FIFA but respect Qatar and their rules.

Can I ask genuinely, does this mean you think gay people should have separate changing rooms? What about the bi sexual? Does this also mean you believe gay people would feel uncomfortable being doctors? GPs? Cleaners in changing rooms? Should they be discouraged from any job where they might see a naked person of the same sex? Does this mean gay men should use female changing rooms? I’m genuinely interested, not being facetious. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingkisnorbo Posted 26 November 2022 Share Posted 26 November 2022 2 hours ago, shade said: can I address this issue of why there aren't openly gay footballers, and it's a genuine answer, not a flippant joke. homosexual men are attracted to men, footballers share changing rooms with other footballers and walk around with their majestic penises (penii?) hanging out. it creates a problem, both parties would feel uncomfortable, would you have females walking around in the changing rooms with naked men? The narrative is pushed by the agenda pushers that footballers don't come out because of society, when really it's for their own, and their teammates feelings of ease. Good grief.

I know all about ADHD, my old man was an educational psychologist, one of the first people in the UK to push ADHD and diagnosed hundreds if not thousands of children with it, a specialist I suppose you could call him. I sympathise with you, but in fairness it doesn't stop you typing out long, coherent, thoughtful posts so it isn't that debilitating luckily.
