  • The captains of two English Premier League teams are in the spotlight for their choices last weekend when the competition celebrated LGBTQ+ inclusion in its campaign to promote equality and diversity

The article from Fox Sports discusses how religious beliefs have placed two football team captains, Declan Rice of West Ham and Wilfried Zaha of Crystal Palace, in the spotlight during the Premier League's Rainbow Laces campaign, which promotes inclusivity and support for the LGBTQ+ community.
