The World Cup is “a homosexual abomination”, according to one angry Russian priest, who says male footballers may as well wear women’s underwear and bras.
Orthodox Christianity religious figure Alexander Shumsky came out with the controversial stance against the biggest single event sporting competition as it reaches the semi-final stage.
Although most people might see the different types and colours of boots adorned by footballers as a good variety, Shumsky slammed the choice of footwear and claims that liberals are trying to drown traditional Christianity with football.
“Wearing pink and blue shoes is like wearing women’s underwear or wearing a bra,” he ranted on Christian website Russian People’s Line.
“The liberal ideology of globalisation is opposed to Christian values with football. I’m sure of it.”
The pink and blue boots which Shumsky is referring to are PUMA Tricks, which were released shortly before the tournament and were worn in South American this summer by the likes of Italy’s Mario Balotelli, Spain’s Cesc Fabregas and Brazil’s Dante.
Russia, coached by Fabio Capello, were unable to scrape out of Group H and were sent packing early in the tournament but Shumsky is delighted that his compatriots made a swift exit.
“I am glad that Russia were eliminated and, by God’s grace, no longer participate in this homosexual abomination that is the World Cup.”
The Russian priest even took offence at footballers’ haircuts, branding them “unthinkable” during his controversial rant.
Fifa will be hoping that Shumsky represents a tiny minority of Russians as the nation will be hosting the World Cup in four years’ time.
I hate soccer so I agree with him.
What’s his FReeper name?
The best pair of sneakers I ever owned were Clyde Frazier Pumas. They fit great! Fortunately, I got black.
ouch! (LOL~!)
He posts here under several names. He’s from that wing of the Putinistas that has more in common with the mad mullahs in Iran than with normal citizens beyond the Russian police state.
On the homosexual abomination spectrum...soccer?
Okay, the whole ankle grabbing writhing in pain drama is pretty silly but come on.
It’s the main reason the Puritans left Europe.
He should look at the clothes the Russian nobility wore during the entire "golden age" of Russian Orthodoxy.
Wigs, makeup, bright velvet padded jackets, tight multicolored hose, etc.
As incompetent a theologian as he is an historian.
LOL. I was thinking the same thing. I am sure I’ve seen “The liberal ideology of globalisation is opposed to Christian values with football. I’m sure of it.” Posted here before.
Wow, you’re even dumber than he is.
LOL, I like him! Good rant!
Looks to me like the FSB found child porn on his hard drive, and now he must make “amends.”
That uniform looks like it should have Mountain Dew printed on the front of it. :)
Ha, ha!
The NFL has rules that the socks should be pulled all the way up—why not soccer shoe colors also?
FIFA should have banned the little highlighter colored boots long ago. I’ve always worn black—that’s how it should be.
David Beckham started the white shoe trend in the late 90’s, and it went downhill from there—maybe the priest is right?

Any mention of the constant flow of tears when the losers lose?
"then" and "now" isn't a good comparison. I have to agree that if it's a man's sport, colorful pink and blue sneakers are a weird fashion choice for its players.
Real guys dress like guys.
