Ipswich Town FC made a bold move to defend their captain Sam Morsy, sparking a debate if they are against the LGBTQ community. The question engulfing all the media revolts if Ipswich Town is against the pride movement?
All right reserved, from the official Ipswich sources, note that the English club supports equality at all race, human right and choices. They are fully in support of the LGBTQ community.
However, bars raising against the English club can be explained that they defended their captain who is committed to his belief and religion.
A few days back, the LGBTQ + rights charity Stonewall launched a movement identified as ‘Rainbow Laces’ with the Premier League in full support, sponsoring the campaign that exceeded fixtures this season until 5th December.
The Egyptian midfielder Sam Morsy, committed to his religion chose not to honour the rainbow laces campaign, refusing to wear the pride armband during his side 1-0 defeat against Nottingham Forest last weekend.
As expected, concerned civilians raged at his decision, igniting heavy criticisms and threats deployed on him. Amid heated criticism and threats, his club stepped up for him, narrating why Sam refused to honour the Rainbow Laces Campaign.
Via an official statement released by the club, Sam is backed and supported by his club because they respect his religion. The statement also revealed that he refused to support the movement because it’s against his faith. Ipswich backed that they support their captain’s religion and choice, revealing that they are “Committed to being a fully inclusive club that welcomes everyone but that it respects its captain’s decision due to his religious belief”
The movement however wasn’t made compulsory for the English team captains to wear it, giving room for choices and decisions.
