The Canadian Soccer Association: Quebec Soccer Federation

Quebec Soccer Federation: The Canadian Soccer Association suspended the provincial association on Monday after it showed no sign of overturning its controversial decision to to uphold a ban on Sikh turbans, patkas and keskis on the soccer pitch, according to CTV. Marois says the Quebec soccer body is autonomous, has a right to establish its own rules and is not bound to the Canadian association and MONTREAL--Pauline Marois is coming out kicking in defence of the Quebec Soccer Federation and its refusal to let turban-wearing kids play the sport. The Quebec premier says it's unacceptable that the national organization would suspend her province's soccer federation. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
