USA make a statement at the World Cup in Qatar by REDESIGNING their crest with rainbow colors to show solidarity with the LGBTQ+ community

The United States' men's national team have made a huge statement at the World Cup in Qatar by redesigning their crest to incorporate the rainbow flag, in a bid to show solidarity with the LGBTQ+ community.

The tournament, which starts on Sunday and sees the US play their opener against Wales on Monday, has been hugely controversial in its build-up, given Qatar's human rights record and attitude to homosexuality.

As recently as this month, a Qatar World Cup ambassador told a German TV broadcaster that homosexuality was 'damage to the mind', and it remains illegal to be gay in the conservative Muslim country.

The USMNT appear to have made an immediate stand on their arrival in Doha, though, by changing the usual red stripes on their crest to a rainbow.

Pictures from the Al Gharrafa SC Stadium in Ar-Rayyan, where the US team trained on Monday, showed a huge US crest on the wall, alongside the slogan 'One Nation'.

I hope they get lovingly treated by the locals for their virtue signaling.

Do any of our teams wear red, white and blue anymore? Shouldn’t they? After all aren’t they supposed to represent our entire nation and not just a faction?

I hope they get curb stomped. Unfortunately, they'll most likely get thru the first round pretty easily as England is the only big player in their division.

I actually threw this out in a comment to a sports lite article the other week. As they have had their #s in rainbow flags for a bit. Really don't know the infatuation with this the last few years. Would love to see all taxpayer money pulled, like NPR.

Way to go "national" team in continuing the "soccer is for fairies and commies" reputation alive. Frick y'all.

Will try not to watch, but I'm sure it will be on in one of the Mexican restaurants we frequent.

I’d usually be against this, but given this is trolling Qatar who built all those stadiums by killing 6,000 slaves…

I hope they get eliminated.

It’s so weird that everything is about sex now.

I don’t see anything about the uniform changing. The crest was updated on a sign at their training facility. Unless I missed something.

Regardless, I’m sick and tired of the obsession with LGBTQ. We need to stop being so hyper focused on individual identity. It’s poison.

They should be more concerned with getting out of the Group stage/1st round.

Trying as hard as they can to get us not to watch. Americans are fricking sick of wokeness.

Demetri Martin:
I'm in a weird position, because I like rainbows, but I'm not gay. So whenever I go out wearing a rainbow shirt, I have to put "Not gay." But I'm not against gays, so under that I'll have to put "... but supportive." It's weird how one group of people took refracted light. That's very greedy, gays.

Honestly this whole World Cup is a fricking disgrace. FIFA awarded it to them knowing that thousands would die building those stadiums and they had to move it to winter, but they didn’t give a shite. Meanwhile the US could host it next fricking week (especially in summer) with not a single person dying.

The FIFA officials were greedy assholes, should be charged with crimes against humanity for this, and then receive the full penalty that entails. FIFA did two 9/11s worth of casualties so they can line their pockets all to watch men kick a ball up and down an open field.

Honestly it’s even more disgraceful than the Winter Olympics since Covid was likely an accident from a lab assistant or something, but this one is completely intentional. It’s already been bastardized, so bastardize the uniforms as well. We, the West, and many Eastern countries should have refused to be a part of this and held our own in America.
