EDITORS COMMENTS
Great photo capturing a significant moment in football history: Arsenal's Unity Statement in the Premier League match against Burnley (2017-18). In this image, we see the Rainbow armband prominently displayed on an Arsenal away shirt in the changing room before the game at Turf Moor. This powerful symbol of inclusion and support for the LGBTQ+ community was a response to alleged homophobic chanting from Burnley fans during a previous encounter between the two teams. Arsenal, in solidarity with their LGBTQ+ fans and in a stand against discrimination, decided to make a statement on the pitch. The Rainbow armband, a symbol of pride and unity, was worn by Arsenal players during the match as a visible sign of their commitment to promoting equality and challenging discrimination. This bold move was applauded by fans and organizations alike, and it served as a reminder that football, like any other community, should be a welcoming and inclusive space for all. The photo, taken by David Price for Arsenal FC, captures the essence of this important moment in the team's history. It's a powerful image that speaks to the power of sport to bring people together and to challenge prejudice and discrimination. The Rainbow armband is not just a piece of clothing, but a symbol of hope and a reminder that everyone deserves to feel welcome and valued, no matter who they are or who they love.
