#championsleaguefinal Medal ceremony - officials. All white men. Just asking what @uefachampions.bsky.social are doing about getting more officials of colour moving through their ranks? Kids watching this need role models for officials too

Translation: For some, a small rainbow flag can mean that we feel safer. You see the flag and think; "I can fit in here" A simple way to know that I am also appreciated. Very nice video Oslo Pride🌈
