Would have been more of a statement if they simply didn’t go.
Fuck FIFA
Fuck Qatar
This entire situation and spectacle is disgusting.
What’s with Germanys obsession with arm bands?
Best I can do is wear a band
When I see this more and more, all I feel is they’re saying #dont forget about me. We’re having a tournament in a corrupt place, that shows bigotry and homophobia. All you do is show up with an arm band, yet still bring revenue to the place and area by going. So this is hugely a #dont forget about me. Best statement would be teams pulling out, people not going. One of the best statement would be the next team to play Qatar just to walk off the field before beginning the match. That would hugely have my respect.

Showing arm and everything. What a slut! /s
I keep seeing these “brave” officials wearing these shirts and arm bands. WTF are they even doing there? Why are the teams still playing? Why did they even go in the first place? They are so full of it.
Im not trying to compare or minimize one thing with another but i think of when people like athletes get on live tv and thank god and get cutt off the air its a suppression of speech of solidarity and acknowledgment with other people in their faith that gives them a voice. I feel like what Qatar is doing by restricting people from wearing pride supporting clothing is suppression of people who stand in solidarity with the lgbtq community whether they themselves are part of it or not. I think we should be like this Germany minister who stands in solidarity whenever peoples voices or beliefs are suppressed
Wow. Amazing. Such a statement. The world is a better place now.
That showed Qatar and FIFA. Now they’re really scared.
/s
Any meaningful impact to twist Qatar’s arm was before the tournament even started. The only things left now are only actions of ridiculous magnitude, such as a group qualified team simply walking away from their play off match. Nobody wearing an arm band of any writing is gonna make the slightest difference to the people who died and the people who will keep dying. Or anyone’s human rights in Qatar. The only thing of impact has been Iran not singing their national anthem and that doesn’t even have anything to do with Qatar. All these armband posts are stupid.
There’s something very dignified about that Qatari garb that is undercut by a visible wifebeater underneath. It amuses me.
What is up with the Germans being so gay all of a sudden? Trying to hide their past?
Just saying, in 1978, the worlds best player, Johann Cruyff, refused to go to Argentina coz of Galtieri and the junta’s egregious human rights violations.
Best player in the world with arguably the best NT in the world, they’d been runners up the tourney before, and he refused to play. Perhaps NL might’ve even won had he gone.
People don’t talk about it enough. Absolute credit to the sport, his country and city
❌❌❌
Meh, still buys oil from them, and gas from russia, after all. Just a bunch of hypocrites . fuck everyone who goes to the games

Why don’t these Western governments put their money where their mouth is and pull every cent out of Qatar or is it just more phrase-mongering?
She’s thinking “shit, it wasn’t supposed to go this way” 😆😆😆
“Lemme just get paid to go to this international event that majority of the world is protesting, better wear my virtue signalling armband to show those Qataris I mean business despite that fact that il have no problem accepting their cash once this tournament is over!”
I’ve never seen more fake, money hungry “protesting” in my life .. this is basically saying “this country does bad things, we know they do bad things, we are protesting because they do bad things but let me just push all those bad things aside for 3 weeks for the sake of money”
None of this will stop the human rights atrocities in Qatar, if anything it will highlight that fact that this tournament was held despite these wrongdoings being well known.
When you have diplomatic immunity, by all means fuck around. What are they going to do? PNG you? Haha ok never have to go back to that place. Send an underling then.
Lol another European “being brave”. literally are pouring money into Qatar’s economy and then flying back to Europe and will forget about LBGTQ+ people of Qatar in a week.
If it’s not posturing, then she should wear it on future meeting with Qatar official.
But we know she wouldn’t, it’s just posturing.
Germany: must not show hate, goes poorly.
Germans utilizing arm bands for good optics is hilarious to me
Germany’s best ministry is the Ministry of Sound. Untz Untz Untz..
Yet there you stand, in a stadium built on 6500 bodies of migrant workers, in a country with medieval laws.
Hypocrites.
Get fucked, her and everybody else at that mass human rights violation. Why is she there? Why has none of these oh-so-brave people done nothing before the cameras were there to show their virtue signalling? If people cared there’d be mass protests like there were for BLM. There’d be boycotts of the event as well as the sponsors. Instead we have this empty shit. Fuck all of these peole.
Here’s a list of the companies who paid for this atrocity:

And as the teams that wear the armbands slowly diminish from the tournament and we are left with teams that don’t wear them or do support this kind of behavior is left. After we will all forget in a month what all the fuss was about, the purchasing of the next Cup will begin in earnest, and once again going to a country that has no clue what empathy is about.
Perhaps this is a controversial opinion, there has certainly been some pushback in Swedish comment fields when people from the middle east (and bots) have expressed it but here goes:
I think anyone that decides to travel to a foreign country, especially a representative of the state, are obliged to follow the laws and cultural norms of that country to the best of their ability even if they don’t agree.
I certainly expect foreigners in Sweden to follow our laws and customs and when I go abroad I do my best to do the same.
If there was a country with laws and customs so disgusting to me that I couldn’t at least passively partake I simply wouldn’t go. Especially not if the reason for going was a sports spectacle.
Also, so there is no misunderstanding, I agree with the criticism of Qatar and this whole world cup fiasco.
Armbands are fifa’s thoughts and prayers
