A clever colleague wonders whether there's any reason why the England team couldn't wear temporary tattoos (transfers) of the #onelovearmband (if somebody could get them made fast enough for the next match) #FIFAWorldCup

@krishgm just wear the armband. If they get booked then play nicer in later games aand don't get booked again. #trans #onelove

Also, let’s not forget another big issue, that “#women in #Qatar must obtain #permission from their #male guardians to #marry, #study abroad on government scholarships, #work in many government jobs, #travel abroad until certain ages, receive some forms of reproductive health care and to act as a child's guardian, even when they are divorced” (thanks @Wikipedia)

@klarabow @krishgm What if they want to wear the armband in later games - instant red card?

Maybe the whole team should do it and call FIFA's bluff. Easy for me to say.

As I've said - if whole loads of players get sent off then the tournament becomes a bigger farce (is one already). Qatar and Fifa get the tournament they deserve.

@krishgm Easy to make with either laser or inkjet printers using temporary tattoo paper (if it could be found for sale in Qatar of course!).

@krishgm Or they could have just worn the armband and taken the yellow card. We don't need to be told that FIFA are a bunch of corrupt, venal placemen. We need to see someone calling them out for it.

@krishgm Is there not a much more immediate solution already open to them?

@krishgm or, they could just have worn the armbands.

@krishgm
Great idea! Although, why temporary?
Show threadMaggie721Nov 21, 2022
@krishgm they could have coloured their hair those special colours.

@krishgm or they could just have displayed a shred of moral courage.

@krishgm or even colour their hair.
