Alex Kay-Jelski thinks men playing in women’s sport and stealing their opportunities is fair game. This is the new BBC Director of Sport. Let that sink in.

I find the idea that they used a punishment used for breach of sporting rules for something that isn't sport related slightly concerning. Regardless of your position on the matter, everyone must agree that it's basically a softcore refusal to let you play, because you're already halfway off the pitch if you started with a yellow

What about the fact that there are undoubtedly LGBTQ players as well as fans - imagine if this was the womens world cup, there is no way the england womens team would play in it considering the amount of LGBTQ+ players in the team. The fact that the FA cant even represent their own players interests here is a joke - no wonder there are so few openly LGBTQ players in mens football

Sad that BBC has appointed this guy will it ever end

If i can't go to UK wearing a shirt saying no homo? Why would we allow a foreigner to come and fly rainbow 🌈?

Imagine some people from foreign country came to your land, and promoting pedophile or other kind of sickness like that, and forcing you to accept their political view as the right one and anyone should agree to it.

It doesn't

A legitimate organisation that is trying to help construction workers in Qatar is... Equidem ...... .... ....... ..................... ........ ..... Football fans should try and help the mistreated workers who built the stadiums and hotels.

Joe devine, I don't think anyone is so ignorant that they will stop watching tifo cause you support LGBTQ....

I don’t suppose teams can just turn up and play sports without virtue signaling can they? Keep your politics out of sport.

Even animal choose their partner with different sex, how people can accept LGBT? Nonsense. Thats mean animal more intelligent than you who support lgbt

If u wanna talk about human right, so u have to respect the qatar rules.. that is the meaning of respect the other.. It is not u force people to accept u.. if they dont want it, u have to respect them..

Leviticus chapter 20, verse 13 reads: “If a man has intercourse with a man as with a woman, both commit an abomination. They must be put to death.” So the Bible's stance is not just to bash homosexuals but to murder them.

All gays

“Treated that way” ? you come to world cup you represent your country not your sexuality. Everyone is welcome as long as they want football, nothing else. People dying in ukraine and other areas. But somehow lgbt take priority. Insane.

It doesn't take priority, it's just that the world cup's in Qatar, not Russia. If it was in Russia, Ukraine would take priority (but lgbtq could also very fairly get a shout there too). You don't get to decide that it should only be about football and forget everything else, sorry. And I seriously doubt you even mean that- if it was held in a country that has legalised child slavery/ paedophilia/ whatever you think is bad enough to warrant action, you would be making a different argument?

No it doesn't. The refusal of English speaking and western countries to acknowledge one another's culture is what matters. It's always LGBTQ+ over the culture and traditions of countries. To worry about the feelings of "LGBTQ fans" just so you can invalidate the rules and traditions of qautar mean that you don't respect the Nations of the Middle east. Their values doesn't not equate to the western idealogy of individualism and self expression.

If "respecting the nations of the Middle East" equates to disregarding human rights abuses towards gay people, then fuck the nations of the Middle East.

The issue is that's it's not an actual principled stance - ffs the next WC is in the USA, the country that has committed the most human rights violations of any country in history - let's be honest if there were actual objective criteria re human rights violation then basically no country would be able to meet them. Not to say that Qatar's issues is that regard shouldn't be highlighted and protested but it's only a moral principle if you apply its standards to yourself principally and primarily and no country, corporation or other large powerfull body will do that

While I'm all for equality this is an excellent example of western colonial thinking (we know best and these people should be as we are) that is ultimately based in superiority and a deep sense of racism. Remember colonialism and its thinking was based on 'we know best'. I'm not saying that the issues at play here don't deserve to be surfaced and highlighted but it's hard not to see the thinking often displayed in this world Cup discussion. Says alot that they didn't have anyone from Qatar or the region discussing this...

@@cp90_ It's only a contradiction if both sides are not first in agreement that we should do what's best. Fron there, it's merely a debate as to what's best. I'm assuming you're not arguing that Qatari law is trying to be deliberately going against what's best.

This is utter bullshit and you have never read anything on colonial thinking. Qatar is a deeply xenophobic country, they should never have been allowed to host a football world cup and FIFA should not allow them to affirm their ideology through their restrictions now. Tolerance towards intolerance is just intolerance.

Western imperialism at work
