Football, Faith and the Forbidden

FOOTBALL, FAITH, AND THE FORBIDDEN 🤐⚽They say you should never talk about religion or politics at the dinner table. But what about at the stadium?This week on The Fitba Pitch, we’re diving headfirst into the two subjects that still set the stands on fire. From UEFA fining clubs for religious mosaics to the FA investigating t-shirt motifs, is the game losing its soul in a bid to stay "neutral"?We’re asking the hard questions:👉 Should games be paused for Ramadan, or is the clock king?👉 Is John Terry’s "Like" button any of our business?👉 Why did the Ipswich Chairman feel the need to apologise for a guest list?The lines between the pitch and the real world have never been blurrier. Is it time to ban gestures and politics entirely, or is football the exact place where these passions belong?#TheFitbaPitch #FootballPolitics #ReligionInSport #UEFA #FA #JohnTerry #IpswichTown #NigelFarage #RamadanFootball #NoPoliticsInFootball #TerraceTalk #ScottishFootball #PremierLeague
