Marc Guéhi Faces FA Probe Over “I Love Jesus” Rainbow Armband.
Crystal Palace defender Marc Guéhi is under scrutiny by the English Football Association (FA) for adding the words "I Love Jesus" to his rainbow captain's armband during a match against Newcastle United. The armbands were part of the Premier League’s Rainbow Laces campaign, which promotes LGBTQ+ inclusivity. However, the FA prohibits religious, political, or personal statements on match equipment under its regulations.Guéhi’s action has sparked debates about balancing personal religious beliefs with league-wide inclusivity initiatives. A similar instance saw Ipswich Town captain Sam Morsy, a Muslim, opt out of wearing the rainbow armband, which his club supported while reiterating its commitment to inclusivity.The FA has yet to decide on disciplinary measures, but the case highlights the challenges of navigating individual convictions within collective campaigns in professional sports.
