Ipswich Town captain Sam Morsy faced scrutiny after he chose not to wear a Rainbow armband during the Premier League's Rainbow Laces campaign, which promotes LGBTQ+ inclusion. Morsy was the only captain among the league's 20 teams to forgo the armband in their match against Nottingham Forest on December 1, 2024, citing his religious beliefs as a practicing Muslim. Ipswich Town released a statement affirming their commitment to inclusivity while respecting Morsy's decision, emphasizing that they aim to create an environment where everyone is valued and respected. The club highlighted their ongoing support for LGBTQ+ initiatives and activities planned around the campaign, reinforcing their dedication to equality and diversity in football.
