Footballer Marc Guehi’s Father Criticizes FA for Penalizing Faith Declaration
Marc Guehi’s father, John Guehi, has criticized the English FA for penalizing his son after he wrote “I love Jesus” on a rainbow-colored captain’s armband during a match.
The armband was part of an initiative to support LGBTQ+ inclusivity in football.
The FA cited its policy against personal messages on match attire, sparking debate over the balance between inclusivity campaigns and individual expressions of faith.
John Guehi expressed disappointment, emphasizing that his son meant no harm and was simply expressing his personal beliefs.
