Malicious Compliance.

The moment when you are not allowed to adress that one thing but still do it by being creative.

I mean yes, great sentiment, but UEFA have frequently fined players for political messages, because as their own rules state, political messages in matchday stadiums are banned.

Granted, those player/fan messages have sometimes been fascist or provocatory, but while Stop Killing Children is an obvious sentiment shared by all sane humans, this was a direct reaction to Al-Obeid being killed in Gaza, and clearly political.

One rule for thee...
