not sure how many soccer/football fans i have here but i want to take a moment of silence for this sequence of events:
france bans hijabs in sports -> france is outraged there is one, singular woman on the moroccan team in hijab playing in this world cup -> france calls the entire country and team “regressive” and “backwards” -> firestorm of racist, islamophobic takes in french media -> france says they won’t broadcast any moroccan matches where nouhaila benzina is playing in hijab -> moroccan team does great and qualifies -> morocco is then scheduled to play france, who now has eat their own words and broadcast the match
