Look, Hungary's fans create a 'wonderful atmosphere', alright?

For the benefit of the smooth brains out there, taking a stance against bigotry is only 'political' if your 'politics' is completely tied up in bigotry.

The rest of us just call it 'basic decency'.

How is it up to UEFA what the Germans do in their own ground if there are no safety rules being broken?

So it's ok to pressure a team who've just watched their teammate almost die to finish a game because it might mess with your tv contracts. But not ok to show solidarity with one of the most discriminated sections of society.

Presumably they think it is a "political" act on the part of the German fans/FA or whoever is organising it.

Which it sort of is, if standing up to bigotry is "political".

In that case I'm still waiting for Hungary to be sanctioned for the facist supporting actions of their fans in the first two matches.

UEFA seem fairly quiet on that one unless I've missed it.

I logged in just to upvote this.

Fascism isn't just creeping around in Europe any more.

The main opposition in France.

Orban in power in Hungary.

Echoes of the Enabling Act in multiple areas of the policies of the UK Tory Government, and systematic moves to silence all opposition.

UEFA have picked their side.

Edit: upvote not update. Autocorrect.

So its all right to be Homophobic in parliament?

I think this would have been a great passive rebuke to homophobic behaviour.

UEFA slithered out of the Neuer situation also ( not political ).

It would be really impressive also.



Great support from other German stadia.

I don't understand UEFA, how can you claim to be an ally of the LGBTQ+ community if when you have a chance to show your support, you back down. There is so much lip service paid to discrimination in football, but when it comes down to it the authorities never really care. They talk about how it is everyone's beautiful game, yet continue to enable the trolls that give football fans a bad name.

I’m guessing they also want to shut this down before we start getting pride flags/banners etc in Qatar?

I think they previously advised the LGBT community not to go to Russia 2018

If the powers that be can turn a blind eye to human rights abuses and the treatment of migrant labour, these bloody poofter lights are hardly going to bother them.

Honestly, where did it all go wrong for what should be so simple? And yes, the mighty dollar is likely to blame. Bunch of barstewards.
