The problem is that you can only be your authentic self if everyone agrees. Freedom of voice and or thoughts is fine. Be we all have different thoughts and we don’t all respect each others. Not campaign will ever truly cover this. It can only ever be education, broadening people’s horizons. Not enforcement. |
The point, of course, is normalising things in society. Letting those with frankly bizarre views know, that they are very much the odd ones out. |  | |  |

I’ve not personally seen what has caused Stonewall to be disliked so much, however by removing this campaign in the Premier League alongside stonewall to include different sexualities, the Premier League do need to be careful that they do have a campaign in February that they say they will do.
There have been no openly gay premier league players still, which doesn’t help those growing up to feel included in football. Like I said, I don’t know if Stonewall is the problem, but it comes across as they are removing the campaign because a couple of Captains won’t contribute to the campaign because of their beliefs or agree with being gay. That to me, makes it worse for the young gay footballers who are hiding who they are and don’t feel included.
In my opinion, if they remove one type of inclusive campaign, they should remove all. Football is very diverse now. Religion should not be part of this either, religion is a choice, being gay, black, female isn’t. |
The men’s and women’s games are miles apart on this. In the Euro’s, being the gayest team was seen as a notable achievement (it was Wales). Can you imagine that in the men’s game! It’s a very alpha male environment still and I feel sorry for those footballers who can’t be themselves and have to live a lie. That shouldn’t be acceptable in 2025. |  |

The same kind of toxic masculinity that derides the women's game, maybe? |  | | |

No it's not. It would just be colours if such a big thing wasn't made about it. Trying to shame someone in supporting a cause that they don't agree with is wrong. My point was it has no place in football. It's always been a black armband till someone decided to foist the rainbow on people. |
So you definitely wouldn't want any Poppies on a Captain's armband, ever?
Just a black armband and the word Captain.
Definitely no Poppies. By order: Rimsy. | | | |

You're literally making a big thing about it, right here, snowflake. |  |
