Liverpool's Jordan Henderson Draws Flak From LGBTQ Groups After Accepting Deal to Join Saudi Arabian Club Al-Ettifaq
A fan unit for LGBT England supporters, 3LionsPride, wrote on Twitter that they were highly disappointed with his acceptance of Saudi Arabian offer.
Liverpool captain, Jordan Henderson, drew heavy flak from the LGBTQ groups for agreeing a deal to join Saudi Arab club Al-Ettifaq. Reportedly, Liverpool have agreed to sell their captain at £12million deal. He now will earn £700,000 per week at the Saudi Pro League club that is being managed by former Liverpool man, Steven Gerrard. Jordan Henderson’s move to the Saudi Arab drew the ire of LGBTQ community because he has been a huge ally of the group in football. During the Euro 2020, the Liverpool captain wore rainbow laces at the tournament and continuously called for greater inclusivity in football.
