Man Utd Scrapped Pro-LGBTQ+ Jackets Vs Everton Over Mazraoui's Religious Beliefs: Report
Ipswich Town Football Club: As part of the Rainbow Laces campaign, that takes place every season to showcase equality and inclusion, Manchester United were planning on wearing Pro-LGBTQ+ jackets whilst warming up for the game against Everton on Sunday but scrapped the initiative.
As reported by The Athletic, after defender Noussair Mazraoui declined to participate, Manchester United players canceled the team's intention to wear an Adidas jacket in support of the LGBTQ+ community. The report further cited the reason being Mazraoui’s muslim religious beliefs and some players were left unhappy with the decision.
The Premier League collaborates with LGBTQ+ charity Stonewall on the Rainbow Laces campaign every season and its clubs are celebrating LGBTQ+ inclusion at all fixtures between November 29 and December 5. During this period, the League and clubs showcase the work they carry out year-round to embed equality, diversity and inclusion in everything they do.
