Might have to return my woke badge here but I think heās perfectly entitled to not want to wear something endorsing something he doesnāt agree with.
And I donāt think itās fair for a club (or any employer really) to try to force players to do it either, especially in his case where heās endorsing something illegal in his home country that he visits regularly and is a prominent figure in.

Yeah, I think itās a bit dumb.
Completely beats the point if youāre essentially forcing people to do something.
Kinda confirms that itās all about optics and nothing to do with the message.
No different to McClean not wanting to wear the poppy. People might disagree with the reasons but heās allowed have his own thoughts at the end of the day. Will cost him a few quid too Iām sure.
Definitely. Problem comes though with pressure groups and how that impacts sponsors.

Just watching MLS. When did Shaqiri move to and captain Chicago Fire? Last I heard he was at Lyon
He moved this year. Lyon realised they couldnāt afford his wages - especially when he wasnāt justifying the salary.
Iād like to know what Gueyeās reasons are. Hopefully he isnāt claiming itās on religious grounds, given that at previous clubs heās been seemingly fine with wearing shirts with beer and gambling companies emblazoned across them.
Though of course it might not be to do with religion, or his personal beliefs, but because it wouldnāt go down well in his homophobic home country.
Either way, his choice. Devalues the message if you force people to participate against their will. Iād rather know who supports the cause and message sincerely and have those who donāt make that clear by refusing to participate.
Gueye should have some decency and follow the stance of his club, PSG, who are well-known for being one of the true arbiters of moral soundness.
