England told to boycott Qatar World Cup

Former England midfielder, Matt Le Tissier, has sent a message to the Three Lions about boycotting the ongoing 2022 FIFA World Cup over the ‘OneLove’ armband mess.

According to Le Tissier, England should also rescind their FIFA membership.

This comes as England and Wales, and some other countries had planned to wear the OneLove armbands promoting inclusivity and LGBTQ+ rights in Qatar, a nation which criminalises same-sex relationships.

However, the nations backed down after FIFA threatened to give a card to players who wore it.

Speaking about England’s decision to back down, Le Tissier told GB News, “It just goes to prove what a lot of people are saying about it. It’s pure virtue signalling. They aren’t hundred per cent wholeheartedly behind it.”

He continued, “If you want to make a real statement, then you boycott the World Cup. What would make an even better statement is if they boycotted FIFA and rescinded their membership because that organisation is rotten to the core.”
