For the first time FIFA changes its attitude: We understand the pro- Floyd players, don't punish them

Don't condemn those who show up in the homazhe field for George Floyd: the message comes from Fifa, which in the face of a hypothesis for Bundesligla to sanction the players who in the past days have been protagonists of protest gestures about events in Minneapolis, has made an exception to its regulation, which prohibits political, social or commercial symbols during a football match. Fifa's request, in this case, is to use “understanding” in the face of a protest against which “we understand deep feelings”.

Fifa addresses an appeal to football leagues so that they can use “sense” when deciding whether to launch sanctions against players who during last few days have manifested the solidity for events in Minneapolis by looking for “justice for George Floyd”, as happened in Bundesliga.

Now Truram jr, Sancho, Acraf and McKennie are at risk of being punished, so Fifa has distributed a communique to underline that “fully understands the depth of feelings expressed by many footballers in light of the tragic event of George Floyd”. “Application of Iphab-proposed game rules is written there - in the hands of those who organise competitions that should use understanding and take into account the” circumstances.
