Read the article below. 

Before their first game at the FIFA World Cup in Qatar, the German team protested during a photography session. The players held hands to their mouths to represent being silenced. They were protesting a decision by FIFA that teams cannot wear 'One Love' armbands in support of diversity and mutual respect.

Qatar, an Islamic country in the Persian Gulf, is a controversial host in some parts of the world. Just before the event started, Qatar announced that alcohol would not be served at games. Other issues have been simmering for longer. Qatar has been criticized for the large numbers of migrant workers that died during the construction of World Cup facilities. Also, while many in the West now accept homosexuality, it remains illegal in Qatar and other countries

Qatar and FIFA appear determined to suppress particular expressions and protests. For example, before entering the stadium, security officials told fans to remove rainbow-colored clothing because rainbows are associated with the LGBTQ rights movement. Also, FIFA told the German team and other teams that they would receive a yellow card if they wore the colorful 'One Love' armbands.

Teams were unhappy about FIFA’s threat but felt they had to comply. For the German team, covering their mouths was an appropriate way to display their unhappiness.
