Guillem Balague on Pep Guardiola's yellow ribbon and why the Man City boss will continue to defy FA chargesb0bet Guillem Balague explains why Pep Guardiola will continue to wear a yellow ribbon, and offers his opinion on why the matter is of such great importance for the Manchester City manager.
While Pep Guardiola finds himself on a charge with the FA, the likelihood is that most people do not realise what his protest is actually about.
His wearing of a yellow ribbon has nothing to do, per se, with the campaign that he personally feels so strongly about for the independence of Catalonia. People, nations (with state or not) deserve to decide their future, in a referendum similar to the democratic process that happened in Scotland. Pep feels that way and has spoken openly about it even in political meetings.
The ribbon is not about the referendum but rather about the imprisonment of most notably what has become known as the two Jordis (Sanchez and Cuixart), who along with about 11 others remain remanded in custody on charges of sedition. sb0bet
If they have a case to answer - and any charges brought forward will be rigorously defended - then bring it on and let's go to trial. In the meantime, they remain in custody, when any country proclaiming to be a supporter of democracy and natural justice would have certainly granted them bail a long time ago. The fact that they are still in custody in my eyes, and in many others, effectively classifies them as political prisoners. That is why the yellow ribbon is being worn.
'Pep will never hide'
The FA is charging Pep with making a political statement which may well be true and Pep has said as much. Effectively what the City manager is telling the FA is, if you think I have broken the rules, go for it, do your worst, fine me, banish me to the stand, do what you want, but at the end of the day I am a human being that passionately loves where I'm from and where I can see a natural injustice is taking place - which basically has nothing to do with independence, but all to do with 11 people remaining in custody on charges of sedition with no bail granted and no court case in sight just yet. The delays and the behaviour of the justice department is, in the eyes of Pep, mine and many others, a very unfair situation.
If the FA think by doing any of this it will make Pep remove his yellow ribbon of protest then they don't know him. He won't.
In my opinion, though I am not equating what the two emblems stand for, the FA cannot claim to not accept political statements and then countenance the wearing of poppies on the England shirt with the simple announcement that poppies are not political.
This is not a problem that is going to go away no matter what stance the FA take and one where Guardiola is unlikely to give ground. sb0bet
