Sam Morsy's ill-judged rainbow armband statement was bad enough. The club supporting his position is nothing short of a PR disaster. It's been reported all over the world! Quite apart from damaging the club's reputation - the issue itself needs to be looked at. If a player isn't comfortable saying that "Ipswich Town welcomes players, fans and visitors of any and all sexual orientation" then that player has no business wearing the shirt. Let alone being the "captain". Just think of the impact of Morsy's bigoted views on young emerging players who happen to be gay or whatever 'non-traditional' sexual orientation they feel comfortable with. Welcome?? I don't think so. You can't do tolerance 'a la carte' - Morsy is wrong and should keep his unpleasant prejudices to himself. Or not be captain. Or not even show up. Love him as a footballer. But very very disappointed in him as a leader.
