Russia may ban rainbow kit of FIFA 17 cause it overs the gay propaganda law

FIFA 17 is a most popular football video game developed by EA Canada and published by EA. But recently something was not right with it. Russian MPs have called for football video game FIFA 17 to be banned because it allowed players to take part in the rainbow laces campaign. Why? Because it’s said that it has been against with the Russia’s “gay propaganda law”. The EA Sports game last month joined Stonewall’s Rainbow Laces campaign, which sees real-life UK football teams stand up to homophobia.
 
A special Pride-themed football kit was made available as a free download for FIFA 17 players across PC, Xbox and Playstation gaming platforms as part of the tie-up. 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.
 
An in-game message informed users: “Show your support for the Premier League and Stonewall’s Rainbow Laces campaign with the Rainbow Kit. Wear it with pride and help raise awareness. Thanks, The FIFA Team.”According to Russian-language news outlets, Russian censorship body Roskomnadzor has been urged to open a probe into the potential violation of the ‘gay propaganda’ law. 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.”
