The real question is : why do they wait for goals to be scored, to give money ? If you really want to donate to a cause, there shouldn't be a condition

I don’t find it offensive but I don’t see the need for it either. Most people go to watch football for the football and don’t really care. If people are going to be homophonic the a ball isn’t going to make a difference

I think it's about stating that the league and the club and the whole community wants to be welcoming to people who are lesbians, bi, gay, trans, queer. I think it has been hard for some people to come to watch football in the past or to play football because of the negative comments or even chanting and this ball colour and rainbow laces and things like that are a way that the whole football community can state that if these bad things DO happen, they are certainly against what we want to happen, and that we as a club or a league, really want you to come and take part.BlueJake wrote:

I see what you mean. We just can't have everybody like us or respect us. That's just how the world is. If they hate you for being gay, waving the flag and getting financial support simply for being a member of LGBT community, will not make them hate you less.The problem is theirs, not yours. What could make them warm up to you is by doing your best in the sport.joannainthemiddle wrote:

I'm straight for reference.
I don't understand why money is being given to them. Why does the LGBT community need money? I understand support, but aren't there people who need the money more? Just because of your sexual preference, you get money. That doesn't make sense to me. Raising money for a different reason would be better. Maybe one where the people actually need money, like disabled vets or the 783 million people who face chronic hunger. Maybe even the pet or homeless shelters. I am offended not because of the LGBT community, but because of where Puma decided to spend their money. The ball is cool, and a great way to spread support, but giving them money?
