Qatar steps up World Cup crackdown on rainbow flags, t-shirts and hats. Harry Redknapp told LBC: “If you feel that strongly don't play or don't go. It’s their country. I just want to get on and enjoy the football.”
Football legend Mr Redknapp declared on LBC this morning: "If you feel that strongly don't play or don't go".
In Qatar, public displays of affection are not allowed, modest clothing must be worn, LGBT people are criminalised and face discrimination and violence. Drinking and swearing in public are forbidden. "It’s their country and that’s how they want to run it. I just want to get on and enjoy the football. But a yellow card for wearing an armband is ridiculous."
