Irony at best I'd say. I'd say it's on the hypocrisy border.
Life is cheap out there where '3rd world' workers are treated like cattle. Slaughtered in the name of football. In their thousands.
6500 deaths during construction they say. Find it hard to believe, staggering. How can you kill so mamy people building something?
Balance that with the BLM movement that came out of the high profile deaths of Trayvon Martin, George Floyd etc. I fully support BLM and taking the knee BTW and only use it in context.
Where's the Indian, Lebanese, Bangladeshi Lives Matter campaign? Shhhhh. The silence is deafening. Governments, FIFA, the FA, and the players.
We're all to blame, us football people. We'll be watching, buying merchandise, buying the Coca Cola and MacDonalds and supporting the World Cup.
We'll be suckling the Corporate Pig for all it's worth. So yes we're involved, all of us responsible.
But not to the extent of the players. I wonder, will any of them stand up as well as take the knee?
