UEFA also investigated Neuer’s rainbow armband, then they dropped the case but they are quite serious about “not making political statements”. One article mentioned that the stadiums are only allowed to use the colours in the participating countries’ flags, so I think Munich could get a serious fine if they still did it.

Rowling is not always wrong. It’s very difficult to give trans people everything they want without hurting women’s rights for example. I mean it’s impossible.
Have we met? You seem to know me so well.
p.s. I think you might be the one who needs to calm down. I'm quite tranquil today but you seem to be a bit riled up.
Ok Mr PC mad man culture bandwagon transformer, none of that please.
No it isn't at all. If we treat trans woman the same as cis woman there is literally no problem.
Well that depends on whether you regard a trans woman as a woman then its just women's rights also. That said its lazy to group them all as if they are striving for the same thing. I'm not a big fan of the term BAME here in the UK.
“You’re riled up“
“No, you’re riled up.“
Finally the general leaks into the FF.

But we can’t. Should trans women be allowed to participate in olypmics as cis women?
There's a thread discussing the ethics of that but they are currently allowed to compete provided they meet certain criteria.
Light it up. UEFA is a disgrace.
Nope we shouldn’t. No one can change the genetic underbelly of someone. Funny thing is it’s gonna cause more inequality for biological women who I’ve seen many voice their opinion against. But that’s a discussion for another day
They still have an advantage if they went through puberty as men. But at least they won’t get offended so who cares about women.
Won't somebody think of the weightlifters?
Yeah light it up everywhere, hope fans and players will show support for this in someway.
And UEFA
And UEFA
I'm not going to get into it here as there is a thread in the general and I'm not all that clued up but I don't think there is definitive data that shows that they do have an advantage given the restrictions.
The thread is here if you're interested:

This is a human rights issue and I get it, but it is also a political issue. If you allow this to happen, you open the door to other political issues to be targeted. It is a great way to send a message but UEFA must stay neutral in this cases.
I believe you're talking to the very same guy that thinks thousands of Christians are getting beheaded every day, but that we don't hear about it's inconvenient for the lefties.
Males on average have larger hands, hearts, lungs and feet. Unless that can all be reversed........who knows!
There are two kinds sexualities. Heterosexuality and political ones.
There are two kinds of skin colour. White skin and political ones.

Q+, I've not heard of that before, what does it stand for?
Q stands for Queer, and + is indicative of a much larger inclusivity for people that do not align with the first five words. Another common term nowadays is LGBTQIA+, I meaning Intersex and A Asexual.
I was so close to a full bingo card here.
Just needed 'MSM', 'Woke', and 'Snowflake' in this post and it would have had all the cliches sorted.
The fact that this is even considered a political issue shows how fecked things are.
I hope they ignore UEFA and light the stadium up anyway, and have all the players wear rainbow boots.

This is the final boss battle of the 'criticise the post, not the poster' rule. If you get beyond this post without calling them a knobhead, you've won the game.
Genuinely wish the various teams would tell UEFA to feck off and let them play with a rainbow on the shirt or something or boycott the competition
But it's not gonna happen.
Hope Florentino is paying attention at least, this is an issue he can raise and win PR points when he tries re-launching the superleague next year!

No it should fecking not. And it can't. By claiming "neutrality", UEFA IS SIDING WITH ORBAN HERE
Maybe not using that phrase though.
Ah, sorry. English is not my first language
AFAIK there's not a defined term for the Q these days. It often is Queer but 'Questioning' is becoming increasingly common too.
Sorry to be pedantic
The UEFA president has explained the reasoning behind the decision and I have to say he makes a lot of sense. If it’s purely for the game against Hungary, and aimed at their politicians, then it’s political isn’t it.
Still think they should go ahead with it, mind.

Just out of curiosity, and way off topic, but is there a record for fastest 10k worth of posts?
Tell me again, who's talking about them being beaten?
If we're at it, I’m sure you pay the same attention to antifa cokeheads running riots hehe.
So you can't read or what?
I mean at this stage you really just are a bingo card of right wing what aboutisms.
Nah, I just have a brain.
Why do the elites want to lecture me even during football matches? Stop it please.
So UEFA have the power to control what colour stadiums can be? What’s stopping Germany just doing it, or having pride flags hanging off Wembley? Just tell them to feck off and do it. Being neutral on topics like this is a disgrace.
A country not liking something doesn’t make it a political issue.

I’ll chip in if there’s a whip-round
