In July 2023, Henderson was criticised for the move to Saudi Arabia in some quarters, having previously written in support of the LGBTQ+ community.{{cite news |title=Jordan Henderson: Liverpool captain's Saudi Arabia move has 'tarnished his reputation' as LGBTQ+ ally |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/66324791 |access-date=27 July 2023 |website=BBC Sport |date=27 July 2023}} The video released by Al-Ettifaq desaturated Henderson's rainbow armband to black and white.{{cite news |last=Hunter |first=Andy |title=Jordan Henderson no longer an LGBTQ+ ally after Saudi move, says Hitzlsperger |url=https://www.theguardian.com/football/2023/jul/27/jordan-henderson-liverpool-lgbtq-saudi-arabia-thomas-hitzlsperger |access-date=27 July 2023 |newspaper=The Guardian |location=London |date=27 July 2023}} Former German international Thomas Hitzlsperger, who announced he was gay after his playing career ended, posted on social media "I did believe for a while that [Henderson's] support for the [rainbow emoji] community would be genuine. Silly me." "I can understand the frustration [from the LGBTQ+ community]," Henderson later told The Athletic. "I can understand the anger. I get it. All I can say around that is that I'm sorry that they feel like that. My intention was never, ever to hurt anyone. My intention has always been to help causes and communities where I felt like they have asked for my help."{{cite news |last1=Ornstein |first1=David |last2=Crafton |first2=Adam |title=Jordan Henderson: I strongly believe that me playing in Saudi Arabia is a positive thing |url=https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/4831793/2023/09/05/jordan-henderson-interview-saudi/ |access-date=2023-09-05 |website=The Athletic}}
