Nations FC forward, Emmanuel Annor has reacted to his fine by the Disciplinary Committee of the Ghana Football Association for displaying religious message on undershirt after removing his jersey for a goal celebration.
Annor wondered why It is allowed for players to celebrate LGBTQ+ but get punished when they display their religious affiliations or love for Jesus Christ.
“Why can football players celebrate LGBTQ+ sexuality but not their love for Jesus?
Romans 14:8 – If we live, we live for the Lord; and if we die, we die for the Lord. So, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord. It’s the kingdom work on the pitch!” Annor statement read.
