Ipswich Town captain Sam Morsy refused to wear a rainbow armband during his side's 1-0 defeat by Nottingham Forest for religious reasons, a report has claimed.
The weekend's action came with a little more colour than usual as the work towards LGBT+ inclusion and the ongoing fight against homophobia was recognised with the return of the Rainbow Laces campaign, run by the charity Stonewall.
First launched in 2013, the campaign now sees clubs use rainbow corner flags, while captains wear rainbow armbands as well as laces. The occasion was almost universally observed, save for the Ipswich skipper.
