Marc Guehi wrote a 'Jesus loves you' message on his rainbow captain's armband for Crystal Palace's match at Ipswich Town, despite being reminded by the Football Association that religious messaging on kit is banned.

The rainbow armbands are being worn as Premier League clubs show for LGBTQ+ inclusion in sport by taking part in charity Stonewall's Rainbow Laces campaign.

The Football Association told Guehi and his club that religious messaging on kit is banned after the 24-year-old's rainbow armband in Palace's draw against Newcastle United on Saturday had the message 'I love Jesus' written on it.

Ipswich Town captain Sam Morsy did not wear a rainbow armband again on Tuesday, after his club said he elected not to do so at the weekend because of his "religious beliefs".

Following his side's 1-0 victory at Portman Road, Palace manager Oliver Glasner appealed for "calm" about the issue.

"Everyone now is about integration, no discrimination and Marc as well," Glasner told Amazon Prime.

"We all have the same opinion. We are in sports and in sports we are always against discrimination and any kind of abuse, and Marc as well."

Glasner said he spoke to Guehi about the issue before the match, adding the England international is "not a child".

"He has his opinion and we accept and respect every opinion," added Glasner.

"This is the quote of this campaign, it's being tolerant and Marc is very tolerant so everything is fine."

Guehi's actions on Saturday risked a formal FA charge.

Rule A4 of the FA's kit and advertising regulations prohibit the "appearance on, or incorporation in, any item of clothing, football boots or other equipment of any religious message".

The Rainbow Laces from Premier League club began on 29 November 29 and runs to 5 December.

A Stonewall spokesperson said on Tuesday: "It has been incredible to see so many football teams at all levels our campaign to make sport safer and more inclusive for all.

"When we see clubs show their for LGBTQ+ inclusion, it helps people feel safe and welcome both on and off the pitch. It is up to individuals to choose if and how they show their for LGBTQ+ inclusion in sport."

So let me get this straight:

You LGBTQ and I shouldn't get angry at your decision and freedom of choice

I DON'T LGBTQ, but you say I don't have the right to that decision and freedom of choice?

Isn't that just like saying you have the right to be pro-Trump for example, but I don't have the right to be anti-Trump?

Until we realise that this is an agenda from hell that if left unchecked, will affect our children's lives horribly

God bless you Marc Guehi & even Sam Morsy (Ipswich town captain) for choosing to keep some remaining shred of sense in a world where everyone is either too dumb, unbothered, or terrified to stand for sense

There's also controversy because Ipswich Town captain Sam Morsey, who's a Muslim, decided not to wear the LGBTQ armband.

Very good

What's the total population of those who are into this LGBTQ nonsense that they want to force it on the throat of everyone.

Thank goodness, Trump is now the incoming USA president, some of them will run without their legs touching ground

You are forcing your stupid and demonic ideology on people but you want to stop them from expressing their own ideology.

God punish these bastards.

For Marc Guehi, God bless you richly.

Let the media continue to spread the message of Jesus love


Reminder: Jesus Loves You Unconditionally ❤️ ✝️

I dnt know y LGBTQ people are forcing it on us,

I Neva see any armband promoting straight people 😞

Jesus Christ loves us all❤️

Nice one...

Let God judge

There's nothing wrong with that, it's a simple message, Jesus loves everyone irrespective of what you are or who you are.

God bless Trump, cos he have the monopoly to the cure of the LGBQT madness

The FA stand on Religious Message is clear but fortunately for him he won't be charged....

Jesus loves Mankind but dont love the evil actiona of mankind including Homo actions. It is evil before God

Rubbish. His choice is contradicting his believe. Jesus didn't preach LGBQT so h can never love such attitude. Mr captain don't deceive people.

These people keep forcing their wokeness down our throats!
I’m straight and I don’t go around with a flag yapping about my sexuality and how I want to be included in the society.

Nawooo

What a world we live in....

Mad people everywhere.
Why forcing your LGBTQ nonsense on people.
Do your rubbish privately
LGBTQ is a sin against God and humanity

Lgtv.... They want to force nonsense down people's throat.... Kudos to the captain

E Dey lie?
Jesus loves us all

Good
We all have to realise that this LGTV nonsense isn't about inclusion and equity as they want us to believe.

Imagine dedicating a full month (June) to this people, while better humans only get a day.

I also love Morsy's decision not to wear the useless armband

Why is the club discriminating against the Christian belief yet approve of LGBTQ

Post one proof or forever shut up

The least of Trump's concern is LGBTQ community. Why would LGBTQ even be an issue to a guy like Trump? Lol. You guys have unbelievable and unfounded expectations of Trump.

The idea of LGBTQ in football and sports generally is rubbish.
