Leah Williamson on the rainbow armband ban
βAnd Iβm telling you now that if I were at the menβs World Cup when they were threatening to card players and ban players, I would have served the ban; I wouldnβt have played a game because thereβs no way I wouldnβt have worn that armband onto the pitch in that moment.β
βI say that from the comfort of this chair, but I like to believe thatβs what I wouldβve done because I think itβs right and I think it represents the community that we serve by playing football.ΒΊ
βAsking for equality, weβre just asking for the same opportunityβa seat at the table, a place in the room. Weβre not trying to replace anyone. Iβm not asking for you with your opposing ideas to be removed. Iβm just asking to exist next to you, and that's okay.β
