It seems that soccer players at times remove their shirts in celebration after scoring a goal. Uh-oh: Muslims are offended. So the international soccer governing body is actually going to outlaw shirt removal. From BBC Sports, with thanks to Ali Dashti:
A Fifa sub-committee will re-instate the rule that the removal of shirts in celebration will be a mandatory cautionable offence.
The law was relaxed a couple of years ago but football’s governing body is set to approve a proposal that the celebration must be punished by a yellow card.
Some critics might argue Fifa is taking away the joy of scoring a goal, but there are other considerations.
Football is televised worldwide and Muslim countries find it offensive to see bare chests.
