Crystal Palace captain, Marc Guéhi, is under scrutiny from the Football Association after writing another “Jesus loves you” on his rainbow armband during a match against Ipswich Town on Tuesday.
The England international had similarly inscribed “I love Jesus” on his armband in the previous game against Newcastle.
His action prompted the FA to remind Guéhi and his club of regulations prohibiting religious messages under Rule A4.
Despite the warning, he repeated the gesture against Ipswich, adding a heart symbol instead of the word “love.”
The FA is investigating the incident, with reports suggesting that Guéhi could face disciplinary action, including a possible suspension.
– Background
The rainbow armbands, which feature the branding of Stonewall’s Rainbow Laces campaign in support of the LGBTQ+ community, were distributed to all 20 Premier League clubs ahead of last weekend’s matches.
According to Law 4, “initiative slogans/emblems promoting the game of football, respect and integrity” are permitted, but “political, religious or personal slogans, statements or images” are strictly forbidden. The law also states that “for any offence the player and/or the team will be sanctioned by the competition organiser, national football association or by FIFA.”
