This world cup streaker is probably the bravest person in the world

In the 51st minute of the game between Portugal and Uruguay at the Lusail Stadium, a pitch invader ran out onto the pitch holding an LGBT rainbow flag. The game was abruptly stopped and he was escorted away. He was wearing a blue t-shirt with a Superman logo on the front along with the words ‘SAVE UKRAINE’; on the back he had the sentence ‘RESPECT FOR IRANIAN WOMEN’ printed on it.

The move by the streaker was caught on Qatari broadcaster BeIN Sports before the channel quickly cut away. The streaker was obviously supporting many different ideas of inclusion, equality and basic rights of freedom, all things that have come under scrutiny at the Qatar World Cup 2022.
