| Photo: Alex Grimm/Getty Images When it comes to the World Cup, there is no shortage of passion and excitement. Fans from all over the world come together to support their team and country. For many, the World Cup is more than just a sporting event; it is a way to show support for a cause without promoting any political message. FIFA's decision to yellow card captains for putting on one love armband during the World Cup is unfair. The armband symbolizes peace and unity, and FIFA's decision goes against the spirit of the tournament. The armband is a symbol of showing solidarity with the LGBT community and standing up against hate and intolerance. The rainbow flag is a globally-recognized symbol of LGBTQ rights The design features a rainbow flag in the shape of a heart with the number one in the middle, surrounded by the text "One Love" The decision to penalize players for wearing the armband is short-sighted and counterproductive. It sends the wrong message to the world. FIFA should be promoting inclusion, not discrimination. Wearing an armband is a way for players to show their support for a cause or issue, and it should not be punished. It suggests that players should not express their views on issues that are important to them and that they should conform to FIFA's rules and regulations. Players should be able to express their support for important causes, without fear of punishment. The one love armband is a beautiful symbol of unity and peace, and it should be celebrated, not penalized. It's a small gesture that can mean a lot, and it's something that should be encouraged, not punished. The fact that FIFA is willing to punish those who stand up for human rights shows that the organization is more concerned with profits than principles. This is a disgraceful decision by FIFA and one that should be overturned. |

Suddenly, the theories that shaped your years of study ring hypocritical when faced with the hard practicalities of life after the university gates close behind you. For many, the days following graduation mark the beginning of a disillusioned struggle to find purpose and place. The university experience, meant to ...
