England star Jack Grealish has hit out at the "stupid" decision by FIFA to threaten nine countries into abandoning their support for the One Love armband.
The One Love campaign was being used as an attempt to show support for the LGBT+ community, who are persecuted by World Cup hosts Qatar. Mirror Football revealed last week how LGBT+ people have been arrested, beaten unconscious and forced into conversion therapy by security forces in the country.
Three Lions skipper Harry Kane had been set to be one of the captains to wear the armband, but that gesture was abandoned when FIFA confirmed players would be shown a yellow card if they did so. The FA joined the other associations in climbing down from their support of the LGBT+ community as a result.
