France captain Hugo Lloris has hinted he will not wear a rainbow-coloured armband design to campaign against discrimination during World Cup in Qatar.
The defending champions were among eight of the 13 European teams going to Qatar who in September joined the “OneLove” campaign, which started in the Netherlands.
Fifa rules prohibit teams from bringing their own armband designs to the World Cup and insist they must use equipment provided by the governing body.
Speaking last week, FFF president Noel Le Graet indicated that he would rather the Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper not wear the armband, insisting that Les Bleus were to show respect to the host country.
Asked on Monday about the initiative during a news conference at France’s training ground, Lloris said: “I have my personal opinion which is similar to that of the president. When we are in France and we welcome foreigners, we often want them to follow our rules, to respect our culture and I will do the same when I go to Qatar, quite simply. So I can agree or disagree with their ideas but I have to show respect for that.”

Hate him….typical White straight male
Finally a bit of common sense. Respect our culture just as i respect yours
Around a thousand years ago Imam Muhammad Al Ghazali told story of a man walking in the jungle. A roaring lion ran towards him and the man ran as fast as he could to escape from it. He noticed a well in front of him and he jumped inside hoping to escape from the lion. As he was falling inside the well, he grabbed onto the rope and saved himself. The man was so relieved but when he looked down he saw a big snake at the bottom of the well. It had its jaws wide open ready to swallow him up. The man then looked up and saw two mice nibbling at the rope. A black mouse and a white were both chewing into the rope. The scary lion was still prowling outside the well. The man's heart was pounding as he wondered how he could escape from this. Then he noticed a honeycomb in front of him which had delicious honey dripping from it. He stuck his finger into the honey and put it inside his mouth. It was delicious and for a moment he forgot about the lion, the snake and the two mice chewing at the rope. Imam Ghazali explained that the lion is like the angel of death which is always looming above us. The snake was like his grave which all humans will face. The black mouse and white mouse were like the day and night which are always nibbling at our life (the rope). The honey was like this dunya which with its momentary sweetness makes us forget the death and the eternal life.
He is going to get cancelled for this, but I respect him for at least standing on principle. Funny, everyone loses their minds about this rainbow stuff, if you type his name into google all you can find is people writing entire articles about him choosing not to wear an armband
Fuck em all , not wearing shit , that's my right

Respect to Hugo Lloris. Bravo mon frere ππ
Great stuff ! I want to invite everyone to my little kingdom, my culture includes the following:
#1 Killing cute little toddlers because my Religion hates kids
#2 The drowning of little cute kittens, have to be stuck in a bag
#3 I hate woman so every woman can be used as anyone pleases, including forcing them to cook/clean for you.
#4 I hate old people so nobody over 49 is welcome.
Thanks for respecting all of the above, Its my culture and you have to!
Straight talk. Let the arrogant colonialist listen to common sense.
Refreshing perspective.

The Man!!!!!!!
Well done Kane. Your virtue signal has now removed the last vestige of interest I had in the tournament.
Hugo basically said you ain't gonna use me for your prop
Gentleman.
Bending for the oppressive regime: LGBT folks will remember this; the French national team does not support you.
Shut up
In Belgium the leftists want Muslims to wear headscarves because they are against racism, but in Iran they want to get rid of it and the leftists support it! Can anybody make sense of this?? These people make me wanna vomit! Their morality changes like a woman changes her clothes and itβs sickening!
why go to another country and complain about what they do, why not complain about what they do in our country
Does this idiot realise what he's saying is respect the murder of innocent people
This is how I was taught about what diversity is since kid. It doesn't matter if you don't agree with different belief, opinion etc., what matter is to embrace that you can live between those differences
