FIFA 17 rainbow kit may banned by Russia cause gay propaganda law

Some members of Russia’s parliament have alleged FIFA 17 is over Russia’s “gay propaganda law”now. FIFA 17 is the most popular football video game developed by EA Canada and published by EA.  The Guardian reports that the issue was flagged by anti-gay parliamentarians – with Irina Rodnina, an MP from Vlaimir Putin’s United Russia Party, telling the Izvestia newspaper that the censorship body should probe the distribution of the rainbow kit to users in Russia. She said: “Every country has its laws which must be obeyed.”

A statement said: “In November this year, it became known that the FIFA video game, developed by EA Canada, allows the users to support the English Premier League’s Rainbow Laces campaign campaign in support of the LGBT community. According to law, [Russia must] protect children from information harmful to their health or development, including propaganda of non-traditional sexual relationships.” The game is published by EA Canada, who are unlikely to be impacted by any ruling, but the watchdog could attempt to ban the game in Russia over the kit.

The colourful kit was provided to players of popular soccer video game FIFA 17 until Nov. 28, as part of the game's online "Ultimate Team" component. It was created in tandem with the English Premier League's promotion of the Rainbow Laces campaign by UK charity Stonewall, which encourages LGBTQ inclusivity in sport. Last month England’s Premier League ran a weekend campaign called “Rainbow laces”, where players across one of the world’s most popular sporting competitions would wear rainbow-coloured laces on their boots in support of lesbian, gay, bi and trans players and fans.
