It’s not usual that we see a soccer player score two goals at once. And that’s just what happened in the British Premier League, in the match where champions Liverpool massacred Tottenham Hotspur by 5-1.
Dutch forward Cody Gakpo scored Liverpool’s third goal in the final match, and proceeded to reveal his undershirt with the words ‘I belong to Jesus’ were visible to millions watching the match around the world – and even greater ‘goal’.
Of course, the United Kingdom being as is, Liverpool is set to be reprimanded by the Football Association (FA) for Gakpo’s actions.
The Telegraph reported:
“Gakpo lifted his jersey to reveal the religious slogan upon making it 3-1 in the new champions’ 5-1 thrashing of Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday.
[…] Gakpo was shown a yellow card for removing his jersey but could face further action over the slogan on his sleeveless shirt.”
But fans remembered when Liverpool was defeated by these very same powerful words, back in 2007, when legendary Brazilian striker Kaká, an outspoken Christian faithful playing for Italy’s AC Milan, displayed this same shirt in the European Champions League final played in Athens.
Five months ago, the FA created a storm by harassing Crystal Palace captain – and devout Christian – Marc Guehi for writing “I love Jesus” and “Jesus loves you” on his Premier League-mandatory rainbow armband.
However, “the FA did not contact Ipswich Town captain Sam Morsy, who is Muslim, for refusing to wear one at all.”
While the anti-Christian bias is rampant in UK society, there are rules against displaying political or religious messages in football (soccer) games – the problem being they are only enforced against Christians.
“Footballers are forbidden from displaying religious statements or slogans during matches, with Law 4 of the International Football Association Board’s Laws of the Game stating: ‘Equipment must not have any political, religious or personal slogans, statements or images. Players must not reveal undergarments that show political, religious, personal slogans, statements or images, or advertising other than the manufacturer’s logo’.”
