Manchester City's Pep Guardiola vows to keep wearing Catalan yellow ribbon - CNN
One of the world's leading football coaches says he will continue to wear a yellow ribbon in support of imprisoned Catalan politicians because he is "a human being before a manager."
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola wore the ribbon at Wembley during the Carabao Cup final against Arsenal on Sunday, despite being charged last week by the English Football Association for "wearing a political message" -- which it says is in breach of its kit and advertising regulations.
"If I broke the rules, I accept the fine," the Guardiola told reporters after City's 3-0 win.
Until I read this article I was unaware that Spain still had these chaps locked up. Sometimes it can be easy to be cynical about celebs making gestures but they can raise the profile of issues, good and bad. Good in this case.
