WHEN is a protest really a protest? And, perhaps more importantly, when is a protest really worth something?
The unveiling last week of Denmark’s strip for the FIFA World Cup, which begins next month, has caused more controversy than even Scotland’s salmon pink number two decades ago.
The Danes’ kit supplier, Hummel, has unveiled a “toned down” shirt design for this year’s tournament in a protest over Qatar hosting the 2022 World Cup, claiming the tournament has “cost thousands of people their lives”. The three monochrome kits will “make a statement about Qatar’s human rights record and its treatment of the migrant workers”, the manufacturer said.
