www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-64967941 This story is being talked about a fair bit at the moment - in brief: When Afghanistan was deserted by the West for the Taliban to take over, a special arrangement was made to evacuate the Women's Football team because they wouldn't be allowed to play under Taliban rules - and it turns out that some of those evacuated weren't actually footballers.
This reminds me of the bit in Schindler's List where it becomes apparent that the List (of people who are going to be saved from Auschwitz) has many names on it of people who aren't really, as is being claimed to the Nazi powers, skilled machine operatives vital to the Reich's war efforts. But because their names went on the list, their lives were saved. Their lives were important, although obviously not more important than the millions of lives who were lost.
The problem isn't that some people evacuated weren't footballers. The problem is that there weren't enough evacuations. Yes it's terrible that some genuine footballers got left behind but it's also terrible that non-footballers who wanted to leave were left behind. Every woman saved is a woman saved, and it's a tragedy that more were not saved.
