I hope that he does but the easily offended will no doubt label it virtue signaling. |  | | |

I think it's a shame that politics gets involved in sport altogether. Why should a whole team be coerced into making political statements as though individual choice is less important. Clearly it isn't. A person can chose to refrain from supporting a cause without being 'against it', 'anti', or 'phobic'

My question is this:
What do you feel is the implied message in not wearing a rainbow?
I know what I take it to mean, but I'm openminded and curious as to others views are | | | |

I think it means that you choose not to represent the LGBTQ community. It does not mean you are not compassionate and kind to people who identify with that cause.
I have not picked a side in the 'assisted dying ' debate. It doesn't mean I don't have compassion for those for or against the issue. It just means I choose not to engage in political posturing on a subject. Nothing more, nothing less.
I think social media has kind of forced people's hand when maybe they just don't want to pick a side. It's absolutely ok to feel neutral on a subject. [Post edited 29 Nov 2024 20:55]

This was a great reply, thank you | | | |

I would rather he did, but I sadly accept he probably won't.
Still our best captain in years regardless.
The key thing is that his non wearing is not the indication of homophobia that the clickbait crew will be baying for. |  |

Just live and let live - isn’t that the whole point off this to show support for all LGBT people.
It’s not politics , it’s just common decency. | | | |

Thing is, Morsy has never stepped out against these causes, he just quietly decides to be neutral. I think that is respectful and compassionate. Allow others to have their beliefs and lifestyles, but don't force others to accept what you believe and hold sacred. Isn't that what we all should be doing? Be kind, be respectful, and be free to hold your own, personal views, without harming others? | | | |

Live and let live. Surely that's allowing all human beings the entitlement to their own personal beliefs, as long as that doesn't hurt others? Sami doesn't hurt anyone by not voicing his opinion for or against. It's the perfectly respectful stance. | | | |

....historically he has retweeted some fairly dodgy stuff in relation to this subject.
In fairness, not for a good while now though, as I suspect someone at the club has had a word with him. |  |

I haven't seen any of that. So I can't comment. But I stand by my opinion that silent but respectful tolerance of something that you don't agree with morally, or have no opinion of, is totally ok.
You can love a human being and not love what they do or what they stand for. It's hard, in these days of excruciating social commentary to be ok with that, but a person who can be kind to a human being, no matter what, is more respected in my estimations than a person who demands a show of support for a cause and judges a person who can't give it, even if that person is kind and caring in their everyday life.
Did anyone notice Sam Morsy wearing headphones on the walk out on Sunday? He evidently had a mascot who was autistic and needed to wear headphones to cope with the crowd noise. So he chose to help her. He chose a cause to support.
The fact he might choose not to support a cause he doesn't align with, doesn't mean he isn't a decent human being who is prepared to go above and beyond. [Post edited 29 Nov 2024 21:21]

...any of that.
But we need to be honest about things.
Anyway, lets move on. | |

I don't really have a problem if he doesn't wear the laces as that is an individual choice as others have said. I am not sure if they are doing the armband as well? I did have a problem with him not wearing that, as I think the captain is representing the club, and the club should be promoting a message of inclusion for all fans of the club, and I think our captain not wearing it does undermine any other positive actions the club take in that regard.
