Rainbow armbands are dividing opinion at Euro 2025
Some captains are wearing them, some are not. Rainbow armbands at the Women's European Championship are proving more divisive than perhaps intended for a symbol promoting tolerance and inclusion. UEFA is giving team captains the option of wearing armbands with the bright colors of the rainbow flag or plain monocolored versions with the word 'respect' when they play. 'Standard yellow and blue armbands are provided to all teams and rainbow armbands are available upon request,' UEFA told The Associated Press. Both versions have been worn so far at the tournament in Switzerland, with the captains' choices facing scrutiny for the meaning behind their decisions. What it means The rainbow armband is intended to show solidarity with the LGBTQ+ community, while it also stands for diversity. 'UEFA is committed to making football a safe and welcoming environment for everybody, independent of who we love, our gender identification or gender expression,' the governing body said before the women's Euro 2022, where it also gave team captains the option of wearing rainbow armbands. UEFA faced criticism the year before when it nixed Munich's plans to illuminate its stadium in rainbow colors for Germany's game against Hungary during the men's European Championship. The Germans wanted to protest to a law passed by Hungarian lawmakers the week before that prohibited sharing with minors any content portraying homosexuality or sex reassignment. Who's wearing the rainbow armbands? When Germany played France in their quarterfinal on Saturday, the German captain, Janina Minge, wore a rainbow armband while her French counterpart did not. Switzerland captain Lia Wälti wore a rainbow armband in her team's quarterfinal against Spain the day before. Her opposite, Irene Paredes, did not. Norway captain Ada Hegerberg wore a rainbow armband, as did Wales captain Angharad James, Iceland's Glódís Viggósdóttir, England's Leah Williamson and others. England defender Lucy Bronze also wore a rainbow wristband during her team's quarterfinal win over Sweden, whose captain, Kosovare Asllani, also wore a rainbow armband. Elena Linari became the first to wear a rainbow armband for Italy when she captained the side against Spain, but Cristiana Girelli wore a plain one when she returned for the quarterfinal against Norway. France chose 'respect' armband France captain Griedge Mbock Bathy suggested the rainbow armband's message is too restrictive because of its focus on LGBTQ+ rights. 'Highlighting a single issue also potentially excludes the others,' she said. 'We cannot champion a single cause through our diverse group because there are so many causes to defend.' Mbock said the France team is 'so diverse that we cannot highlight just one cause. I think that the armband with the word 'respect' really represents what we want to convey as a message and that is the most important thing.' When told that nine of the 16 countries participating at Euro 2025 wear the rainbow armband, France coach Laurent Bonadei defended his team's choice not to. 'Our one has 'respect' written on it. Respect as a word gathers a lot of causes such as racism. I think the 'respect' one is really a nice one,' Bonadei said. Controversy in Qatar Swedish player Nilla Fischer, the former Wolfsburg captain, was the first in Germany to wear the rainbow armband in the women's Bundesliga in 2017. She inspired others to follow suit, both in women's and men's sports. Germany was a strong campaigner for rainbow armbands at the men's World Cup in Qatar in 2022. That developed into a showdown with FIFA over the compromise 'One Love' campaign, which featured a rainbow-type heart design that was supposed to be a symbol against discrimination. It was still largely seen as a snub to the host nation, where homosexual acts are illegal and its treatment of migrant workers was a decade-long controversy. FIFA banned the armbands and threatened to book team captains who wore them, leading the German players to cover their mouths for the team photo before their opening game, suggesting they were being silenced. Germany's interior minister at the time, Nancy Faeser, who was also responsible for sports, wore a 'One Love' armband in the stands beside FIFA president Gianni Infantino. Qatari supporters later hit back by holding pictures of former Germany player Mesut Özil while covering their mouths during Germany's match against Spain. They were referring to the racist abuse in Germany of Özil, a German-born descendant of Turkish immigrants, who became a scapegoat for Germany's early World Cup exit in 2018. Germany coach Julian Nagelsmann called for an end to political statements in 2024, saying they were too distracting for his players. The German men's team ultimately failed to deliver on the field. ___ AP soccer:

Post-match reaction: Kieran Tierney and Auston Trusty
Brendan Rodgers' side produced an impressive performance at Paradise to defeat Newcastle United 4-0. The goals came from Arne Engels, Johnny Kenny, Yang and Liam Scales in what was an entertaining encounter for supporters to enjoy. But the biggest cheer of the afternoon came in the second-half when Kieran Tierney came on for his first appearance at Celtic Park since returning to the club. And speaking to Celtic TV after the game, Tierney said: "It was amazing. I didn't know what to expect but that was just brilliant. What a feeling. It was quite emotional, actually, running on to the park like that, but it was a great day for me." WATCH THE FULL INTERVIEW While Celtic produced some great attacking football throughout the 90 minutes against Newcastle and scored four goals in the process, the fact that the team kept a clean sheet would also have pleased Brendan Rodgers. And at the heart of an impressive defensive display was Auston Trusty, with the American internationalist picking up the Man of the Match Award for his performance. Speaking to Celtic TV after the game, he said: 'It was a good collective effort and against a good side like Newcastle also shows where we are as a team right now. And also the mentality we have… I'm happy to have the Man of the Match but it's a team effort.'
