Imagine being a Sikh and explaining to your young children that they cannot play soccer because of their turban. During the summer of 2013 The Quebec soccer federation banned turban wearing players to play soccer, establishment apart from the rest of Canada. Yes, even four year-old, could not play soccer league. It was stated that the wearing of the turban would violate FIFA rules. But FIFA rules don’t ban turbans. Brigitte Frot, the director-general of the provincial association, was asked what she would tell a five-year-old boy in a turban who shows up to register to play soccer with his friends. She replied: “They can play in their backyard. But not with official referees, not in the official rules of soccer. They have no choice” (National Post, June 4th 2013).Someone could be heard openly laughing as she delivered that response during June 3rd 2013’s media telephone conference call. The soccer federation explained the issue for ban was the “safety”. Frot was also asked to give number of injuries caused by players wearing turban. There were no injuries, as far as Fort was aware of and she justified by saying that the association doesn’t have money to commission studies. “The point is we don’t know and because we don’t know we don’t want to take any chances,” Frot said (National Post, June 4th 2013). The decision sparked response from political, sporting and religious groups across Canada. Finally, The Canadian Soccer Association stepped in and banned all of the Quebec teams from playing in competitions outside of Quebec leagues until the Quebec Soccer Federation reversed their decision. Meaning no international, national, or interprovincial games could take place, even if they were supposed to happen in Quebec. At the end Quebec had to remove the ban. How could turban cause injury to others soccer players? 1. Turban flying off from head and landing on someone and choking them. 2. Bumping into another player
