And so they should.
What are they thinking in Quebec?
And so they should.
What does the ban entail? Just a temporary ban from national competitions? Does it affect their funding/players ability to play in other FIFA competitions?
Quebec Soccer Federation sticks to turban ban - Montreal - CBC NewsThe Quebec Soccer Federation says it will uphold its turban ban on the field, and those who don't obey the rules can "play in their backyards."
I can't get the thought of butter chicken poutine out of my head. This one could catch on.
That all being said, I can’t help but stir the pot here…how is the local Indian Youth League any different, in the way they exclude kids of non-Indian descent? Sure, much smaller scale, and not sanctioned, but seriously…just saying.
It is different cuz these kids would have no other league to play in Quebec.
And there are many other leagues and tourneys out there that are non indian.....
I-tal league, Christian league, Croat league, greek league, world police and fire games, chinese league, fiji league, etc etc.
If someone wanted to start a league or tourney for people only of Irish heritage, feel free. No one cares. Lots of ethinic tourneys go on, no one gives a crap.
These kids have no league to play in, that is the difference. Not sure why that is so hard to grasp.
I see your point, but I also want to point out that segregation by ethnicity is segregation by ethnicity, no matter which way you slice it.
That being said, the QSF situation truly is a much higher level of urgency, given it's the officially sanctioned league we're talking about here, not a private, unsanctioned league. At this level, there deffinitely cannot be exclusion based on religion.
The whole private league / club thing...well...grey areas all over the place.
Any southsiders in here? if so just curious if you will have a tifo for the QSF in the weeks to come.
