Sultan Jessa: Let Sikh Kids Play Soccer | Sikhpoint.comVia sikhpoint.com – Turban ban on soccer fields was stupid.

I am sure they will soon come up with another ridiculous controversy to distract people from corruption scandals, the state of our infrastructure and other problems like economy, health, education, environment and jobs.

The vast majority of Quebecers wanted Sikh children to play soccer.

The Quebec federation had ignored the ruling of the Canadian Soccer Association.
