”Soccer teams representing seven European nations at the World Cup announced Monday that their captains won’t wear LGBTQ armbands in Qatar after FIFA, which organizes the tournament, said players sporting the bands would be penalized.”

Seems like athletes have a big enough platform to spread their political views without using the field to do it. They’re being paid to play a role in a show, after all.

Can’t believe Saudi Arabia just beat Argentina.

Just watched highlights. Really great goals (especially the 2nd one) by Saudi. Their goal keeper and defense played great too. Well deserved. Argentina had so many offsides goals called back!
