The 2022 World Cup has been the centre of criticism as a result of Qatar's poor human rights record, particularly in relation to migrant workers and the host nation's stance on LGBTQ+ rights. In a message on social media, Sinclair insisted he was not judging any pundits for travelling to Qatar, but revealed that his 'morals' prompted him to reject an opportunity to work there during the tournament. Trevor Sinclair said his morals 'aren't there to pick and choose' and rejected working in Qatar I’m not judging anyone else & I’d love to have been working in the sunshine in Qatar at the World Cup, but my morals aren’t there to pick & choose to suit me, they are me, so I turned down the offer many months ago. #EqualityForAllPeople ✊????????❤️???????????????????????????????? pic.twitter.com/CoTaB28PqC — Trevor Sinclair (@trevor8sinclair) November 18, 2022 He posted to Twitter on Friday: 'I’m not judging anyone else and I’d love to have been working in the sunshine in Qatar at the World Cup, but my morals aren’t there to pick and choose to suit me.

Sportsmail revealed on Friday that the FA were willing to accept a fine from FIFA for dressing Harry Kane in an inclusivity-promoting 'One Love' captain's armband at the tournament.
