Quebec Soccer Federation

Quebec Soccer Federation: The Quebec Soccer Federation QSF recently sparked controversy when it reinstated a ban that used to be in force across Canada but has been dropped by all other provincial soccer associations, according to The Star. I disagree with the Quebec federations decision to ban the turban, but the torrent of visceral reactions that this decision has unleashed often directed indiscriminately at Quebec society as a whole is also unacceptable and Should Sikh boys be allowed to wear a turban while playing organized soccer? But as usual when a news item touches the raw nerves of multiculturalism, religion and anything that distinguishes Quebec from the rest of Canada, reasoned debate has largely been drowned out by hyperbole.
