European soccer teams have backed down from their plan to wear arm bands in support of LGBTQ people.
What happened: The captains of the men’s soccer teams of England, Wales, the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, Denmark, Switzerland and France had planned to wear a rainbow-colored armband reading “OneLove” during their World Cup matches. The Royal Dutch Football Association, which led the initiative, said the band represents that people love soccer regardless of their “heritage, race, gender identity and sexual orientation.”
