A Liverpool FC fans' group said they were "disappointed and disgusted" after former Reds defender Dejan Lovren appeared to oppose Disney's public stance against a controversial US bill which many see as discriminatory.
The centre-back, now with Russian side Zenit, faced a backlash on social media after tweeting a photo to his 117,000 followers which showed him cancelling his Disney+ subscription. Although Lovren has not confirmed why he cancelled his subscription, many fans believe the reaction came from the Croatian international after Disney released a statement highlighting their support for LGBTQ+ rights.
The company's message of solidarity with the community came amid a US debate on Florida's so-called ‘Don’t Say Gay’ bill, which would ban teachers from discussing sexual orientation and gender issues with students in the classroom.
