Manuel Neuer’s decision to wear a rainbow armband at Euro 2020 has been described as “really significant” by his fellow goalkeeper Chloe Morgan. Regarding Neuer’s armband, Crystal Palace Women goalkeeper Morgan, a member of the LGBT+ community, told the PA news agency: “I thought it was amazing. “Him wearing the band sent out a massive signal to the LGBT+ community that he is an ally. I think that was massive and that it’s much appreciated by the LGBT+ community. Amid criticism of its rejection of Reiter’s request, UEFA then defended the decision on Wednesday as its Twitter avatar was changed to show rainbow colours.
