@ Kasz...
Don't call my argument self-centered and selfish!!!!!! You don't actually read my posts do you? Because you totally missed my whole argument.
You just don't get it. I'm not saying no-one is allowed to follow religion. I'm saying everyone should be able to follow the religion of their choice on the field. It's not stopping freedom in anyway! FIFA just don't want religion to interfere with the game and become an issue that skews it.
No rights are being taken away, FIFA is a group not a government in case you don't realise. All groups have rule to protect the interests and FIFA just don't want anything to do with religion and I acknowledge and respect that because I like all fans go to a football match TO WATCH FOOTBALL, nothing else.
So people rights to follow religion still exist, none have been taken away. They just don't want an issue made out of religion because it will cause them problems.
FIFA have nipped it in the bud before a problem of a Muslim team plays a Christian team arises and all hell breaks lose.

Nice spin buddy. Teams from all over the world have played against each other for almost hundred years, including Christian versus Muslim nations. It's been no problem so far.

haha, I am bad at spin to be honest, this is why i'm not a politician (that and my automatic need to take an opposing view to stuff for no other reason than debate lol)
Good catch.
But I think you will agree the threat has exsted and still exists. Not much trouble has happened because football has been largely secular and they try not to let it interfere with the game. FIFA don't need the added hassle of religious views the same as they do with politics because the potential for trouble exists and they don't want trouble because it skews the game.
