Reply to comment by raylan_givens6 in Brother of Grant Wahl believes he was murdered in Qatar by Gambitzillas

Indeed. Everyone who wear rainbow shirts was asked to change them or cover them up or whatever, there were probably more than 10k people this happened to. Qatar is not going to arrange to kill anyone for wearing a rainbow shirt, they don't like rainbows, but they don't hate them that much.

Remember the two English fans who showed up dressed as crusaders in full chainmail? They didn't wind up dead, that's way more offensive than a rainbow shirt.

Neither is offensive, but Qatar still lives in the 13th century.

Not sure what you mean, but they are probably dressed at St.George, who is the patron saint of England and who the St.George flag (England flag) is named after. You see thousands of people dressed like that for England games. The chain mail increases the cost of the outfit, so most opt not to use it.

Only difference is those 10 k people don't have a voice, He does.
