Ipswich Town's captain Sam Morsy opted out of wearing the rainbow armband for the Premier League's Rainbow Laces campaign due to his religious beliefs, sparking mixed reactions.
The club stated, 'We proudly support the Premier League's Rainbow Laces campaign and stand with the LGBTQ+ community in promoting equality and acceptance,' while respecting Morsy's choice.
Morsy's decision made him the only captain not to wear the rainbow armband in last weekend's fixtures, receiving both support and criticism from various groups.
The Rainbow Laces campaign aims to inspire acceptance among young people and promote equality and diversity within sports, initially launched in 2013.
