Marc Guehi Reminded by FA Over 'I Love Jesus' Message on Rainbow Armband, No Charge Issued
Dec 3, 2024, 11:21 AM
Crystal Palace's England defender Marc Guehi has been issued a formal reminder by the Football Association (FA) regarding the prohibition of religious messaging on equipment after he wrote 'I love Jesus' on his rainbow captain's armband during a Premier League match against Newcastle United. The FA has decided not to charge Guehi but has reminded him and his club of the rules against displaying political or religious messages on armbands. Guehi's armband was part of the Premier League's campaign supporting the LGBTQ+ community. The incident occurred during a 1-1 draw at home, and while Guehi's message was seen as a personal expression, it contravened FA regulations.
