random thought

what would happen, if during the world cup finals, both teams walk on and put on a rainbow armband or whatever during their anthems and then just continue with the games?

whats qatar gonna do? cancel the world cup finals then and there? if they care so much for their public image that would certainly not go down well for them. (there is also a lot of money in the world cup)

if both teams do it they're not forfeiting the ability to win. in my books both teams would be winners.

and imo (maybe hot take) using that incredibly rare opportunity to show some solidarity and raise awareness is much more brave than kicking a ball around some more
