Premier League Star “Complains His Club Are Making it Look Like He’s Gay” After They Put Him on the Cover of Their Rainbow Laces Game Programme Two Years in a Row
A Premier League star has reportedly complained to his club that they made him look like he’s gay by putting him on the cover of their rainbow laces game programme two years in a row. The Mail has the story.
The player in question was featured on the front of the club’s matchday programme during the LGBTQ+ Rainbow Laces campaign period for two seasons in a row, according to the Athletic, leading to his concern.
This has emerged amid news that the Premier League are launching a new LGBTQ+ allyship campaign from February 6th to February 13th called With Pride.
Last year the Premier League severed its partnership with the LGBTQ+ charity Stonewall, having first started working together in 2014, and thus ending the Rainbow Laces initiative.
The new campaign will put less pressure on individual players to align with the LGBTQ+ community. Captains will not be asked to wear rainbow armbands and players will not have to wear pride-themed warm-up tops or rainbow laces.
Both of those demands caused conflict last season. Ipswich’s Muslim captain Sam Morsy refused to wear the rainbow armband, and Crystal Palace’s Christian skipper Marc Guehi scrawled “I love Jesus” and then “Jesus loves you” on his. Manchester United did not warm up in their pride-themed jacket as Noussair Mazraoui, a Muslim player, refused to wear it.
In the new campaign, there will be pride-related themes on stadium screens, advertising boards, pre-match handshake boards and the ball plinths.
The hope is that this will reduce friction with individual players.

Wilfried Zaha. Top footballer. Refused to take the knee for BLM. They kept him off camera, of course.
In the US they have moved on from BurglaryLootingandMurder, possible due to the unsurprising trials for fraud by the BLM heirachy, but here, the Premier League are keen to have a reason to emote at every opportunity.
I thought it meant Bastard Lying Media
I have three sweat shirts with pictures of my dogs above which says
BLACK LABS MATTER.
Top human being
Wilfried Zaha, born in the African country of The Ivory Coast, moved with his parents and 8 African siblings to Thornton Heath in Croydon. Who paid for this family of 11 Ethnic Africans to live in England? How did the English people benefit in any way from their presence?
“After not playing for England for four years, he switched to play for the Ivory Coast in 2016, and represented the nation at the Africa Cup of Nations in 2017, 2019, 2021, and 2025.”
In my own personal, old-fashioned view, all athletes should play for their own national teams in their own ancestral homelands, representing their own Ethnic people, and taking great pride in that.
A bit unfair; Zaha will have paid plenty of tax.
Not unfair at all. His tax cannot make up for the lavish benefits conferred upon his parents and 8 siblings for most of their lives, including the 9 council houses they require, and then more council houses for their numerous relatives coming to join them, and all their descendants.
Nor can it make up for the fact that he deprived White Working Class English Boys of taking their rightful place on English teams.
How can the truth be unfair?, and you can bet like all of them, has a great accountant!!.
How about the PL and EFL concentrate on matters football, and leave pointless social gesturing and virtue signalling to others.
100%
Kick politics out of football!
Just picking myself up off the floor!
The ribs…!
Too good. Many thanks.
A bit off topic, but best place to post it; I consider Guardiola a disgrace to all Manchester , not just its jewish community, and the sooner he is gone the better. Man City has been traditionally supported by the Jewish community, as well as those actually living there;especially during the long years in the doldrums. Man Utd.have of course joined in condemning the attacks on the Manchester Synagogue, but seemingly not Guardiola
Spot on. What has happened to Spain?
With Richard Masters as CEO, and his predecessor: Richard Scudamore, then all the men heading up the 20 football teams, the Premier League does stand out as being particularly ‘woke-bloketastic’. Bang goes the prevailing DS Boys’ Club theory for the gazillionth time. <yawn>
A player signs for a club to wear its strip and probably to be involved in various club-related matters, such as promotional activites, visits to local schools and hospitals, and suchlike. He should not be obliged to take part in any activity outside his contractual obligations just because someone or some organisation, thinks it a good idea to push a particular political or social line. If the premier league’s leadership wish to parade their allegiances to rainbow or similar causes then let them wear their rainbow ties, socks, badges or whatever and leave individuals alone. Instead of creating unity this action actually has the opposite affect and creates tensions and resentment. It is particularly unwelcome in the workplace because it could lead to an unwilling individual being targetted and under the threat of losing his employment.
I’m of the opinion that the ostentatious charity work and posturing of celebrities which seems to have started around the 1980s is patronising and, although intended to appear virtuous, is actually the opposite.
It’s patronising because it suggests the rest of us don’t do things for others, or don’t do enough, or are doing the wrong things and our attention needs to be brought to better causes. We need “role models” to show us what it’s like to be a “good person”/
Or it’s not very virtuous because bragging about what a great person you are and showing off all the great work you do for others is, well, not very virtuous.
Basically, to me, it reeks of narcissism.
Very well said!
“This has emerged amid news that the Premier League are launching a new LGBTQ+ allyship campaign from February 6th to February 13th called With Pride.”
Why?
When are they going to have “Adultery Pride” marches in the streets of Britain, and design their own banners with colours & logos representing Adultery? Now that would be interesting…
Or “Sell Your Baby to Organ Traffickers” Pride Day?
Evidently because the PL and all of the member football clubs are governed predominantly by woketard men and have been for years if they were affiliated with Stonewall since 2014.
Nobody’s holding a gun to anyone’s head. They’re going along with and pushing this crap by choice. A bit like how it’s a choice for any boss of any organization to adopt and promote this identity politics Marxist tripe.
How about the Premier League stop trying to manipulate public opinion with their gay propaganda?
Football is supposed to be a game / business. Not a social engineering opportunity.
Just a thought.
Sport should be about sport, not someone’s sexuality or skin colour, no one picks their skin colour, but they can pick their attitude!!.
Why would anyone want to celebrate sterility ?
