Jamie Carragher encouraged Harry Kane to wear the 'OneLove' armband prior to The FA's u-turn decision to do so amid the threat of sporting sanctions from FIFA. The England captain is set to lead Gareth Southgate's side out in the Three Lions' World Cup opener versus Iran on Monday afternoon, November 21.
Kane was set to don the 'OneLove' armband to express the nation's support for the LGBTQ+ community and other marginalised groups on the international stage. But, FIFA hasn't supported the act from participating teams, and England have been told that the 'OneLove' armbands will not be permitted during the World Cup.
The Three Lions were seemingly poised to make a stand in return for a booking from the referee upon entering the field of play. But, amid pressure from FIFA, the FA have now controversially decided against wearing the 'OneLove' armband.
