British broadcaster and journalist Piers Morgan has been in the spotlight in the past week because of the interview he took with Cristiano Ronaldo ahead of the 2022 FIFA World Cup. Piers Morgan has been vocal about his opinions related to the beautiful sport and has once again shared his thoughts on Qatar overturning the decision of England’s players who wanted to wear the “one-love” armband.
Piers Morgan ranted over FIFA’s decision of preventing the three lions from wearing the armband. This act was seen as a symbol of mutual respect and protest against the human rights that were violated during the making of the 2022 Qatar World Cup.
“I’m not gay, but if I was, I’d be furious about this FA armband U-turn. Makes an absolute mockery of the whole ‘we’re going to speak out about human rights in Qatar rather than boycott its stance.” Piers Morgan shared his thoughts ahead of the group-stage match between England and Iran.
Morgan has often been expressive on his social media handles and talks a lot about football and the politics revolving around it. He also gave Cristiano Ronaldo a platform to talk about everything going wrong at Manchester United.
