World Cup captains back down from wearing OneLove armbands
Seven European nations competing at the World Cup were due to wear rainbow-coloured anti-discrimination OneLove armbands, but the plans were dropped when it became apparent that sporting sanctions would be imposed. The captains of seven nations, including England and Wales, had been threatened with yellow cards if they sported the armbands to highlight the discrimination faced by the LGBTQ+ community in Qatar.
