EDITORS COMMENTS
Great photo capturing a significant moment in sports history at the Emirates Stadium during the Premier League match between Arsenal and Newcastle United, on November 27, 2021, in London, England. Arsenal Football Club made a powerful statement in support of the LGBTQ+ community by debuting rainbow laces during the game. The rainbow laces, which replace the traditional white laces on the players' boots, are a symbol of inclusivity and represent the club's commitment to promoting equality and diversity. The image shows a close-up view of the Arsenal home shirt with the rainbow laces neatly tied, waiting for a player to put on his boots. The vibrant colors of the rainbow laces stand out against the red and white stripes of the shirt, making a bold statement that goes beyond the boundaries of the soccer field. Arsenal Football Club's decision to use rainbow laces during the game was part of the "Rainbow Laces" campaign, which is an initiative by Stonewall, a leading LGBTQ+ rights organization in the UK. The campaign aims to challenge homophobia, biphobia, and transphobia in sports and encourage inclusivity and acceptance. The photo symbolizes the progress that has been made in promoting LGBTQ+ rights in sports and the ongoing efforts to create a more inclusive and welcoming environment for all fans and players. It also highlights Arsenal Football Club's commitment to being a leader in social issues and using its platform to make a positive impact on society. The rainbow laces debut during the Arsenal vs Newcastle United game was a powerful visual representation of the club's support for the LGBTQ+ community and a reminder that everyone deserves to feel welcome and included, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity.
