    The U.S. men's national soccer team redesigned its crest displayed

    red, white, and blue stripes with rainbow colors to show support for
    LGBTQ people.

    When the team takes the field, however, they will be wearing the traditional crest with red, white, and blue stripes on their uniforms.

    Wait, so they made PRIDE uniforms but won't wear them to the World Cup
    in the Middle East?

    It's called virtue signalling!

    Yes, and if the competing nations really cared they wouldn't have got
    on a plane to Qatar. 2010 was a long while ago, there's been plenty
    of time for nations to organise a boycott.
