We shouldn't be playing there to begin with if the USMNT wants to be serious about supporting gay rights; in Qatar, male homosexuality is punishable by a minimum of three years in prison. If one is a gay Muslim man, it is the death penalty under Sharia law.

But $$$$

Don't worry, I'm sure that the lowly U.S. soccer team painting their emblem in pretty rainbow colors will alter the Muslim religion and justice system.

I just told you the team shouldn't be there at all.

Ahh, but you see: it actually has nothing to do with the "cause," otherwise they wouldn't be there pouring money into such an abusive system. The players don't give a flip either. It's all about the optics and the trendy thing to do.

It's all over sports. Look at Kap. Look at LeBron -- he continues to do business with the country that unleashed CV19, kills and sterilizes its own people, and forces children to work in unimaginable conditions. . . . making his shoes for him.

It is the same thing. Those are causes to raise awareness and support, there is zero difference at all.

What are we raising awareness and support for?

That people are killed for their sexual preference?

Or that they are wrong in not supporting lgbt lifestyles in their culture?

What part of "they should not be playing in Qatar" are you not hearing from me? I don't think they should be playing there. Period.

Shoot, I apologize, PJ. I just realized the 13 red and white stripes symbolize the 13 players of a soccer team on the field. Totally my bad.

The Pride movement has always been about raising awareness that LGBTQ+ folks exist and they shouldn't be treated as subhuman or second-class citizens. That's it.

One, I think their mission is much deeper than what you just stated.

Also, when I accept an invitation into someone’s home, I don’t throw our differences in their face.

One, I disagree with that. Pride movement is nothing different than any other movement advocating for equal treatment.

Two, this is why I stated you don't go. If I knew someone hated me, I wouldn't step foot in their house.

So their mission in the US is complete? Or I am missing something?

No doubt.

There's no penalty for being gay under sharia, as I understand it. Buggery on the other hand is a capital offence.

Not at all complete. Just look at this thread and board, let alone the national GOP platform, damn near every state GOP platform, and numerous individual politicians' beliefs from the GOP regarding gay rights.

So it's an alteration of an alteration? Is that covered in the flag code? The number of altered us flags flown by the right makes me believe it's nothing bad
