UEFA rules rainbow armband is not a political statement

But illuminating the stadium in Munich in the colors of the rainbow against the Hungarians (governed from way outta rightfield) is, and has by now been haughtily forbidden by UEFA.

Shall I go into the controversy of UEFA pushing London to allow 60k spectators into the Wembley Stadium for the final three games, and for UEFA VIPs to be permitted to flout corona regulations? Yeah. **** UEFA.

At least the first controversy gave us Germans the delightful term "Schwuchtelbinde" (faggot band), coined by a far-right politician in a Twitter outburst. The latter will only help to distribute more Indian 'rona over the world.

I like humans, I really do. They are so much smarter than raccoons...
