World Cup Hypocrisy?

After all the virtue signalling we have had from our (England) football team with so much self-righteous knee-taking, Mr Southgate appears blinded by the fact that thousands of lives have been lost building the stadiums under virtual slave labour conditions. I also noted that England’s first fixture is against Iran where at least 200 women have been killed by security police for protesting for women’s rights. I wonder if this bothers our millionaires? Or do they just kneel and take the money? Just for the record, no-one in our family will be watching this money mad debacle.

Do you usually watch football?

No but I have members of my family who are keen on football who have said they will not watch it on principle.

I’m sure Mr Southgate has had fairly little input as to where the World Cup is held.

Depends how much Southgate had influence to pull the team out. I'm guessing none.
Hopefully if the world Cup is ever held in England then other countries will boycott it too. Violence against women, yes. Attacks on gay people, yes. Racism, oh yes.

I would have supported an England boycott but I don't believe this was a decision for Southgate or the players- had they refused we would simply have sent others. The ultimate blame lies with FIFA, of course.

I wish @MNHQ would stop bumping up threads from a month ago

Mr. Southgate probably didn't have much of an impact on where the World Cup is held.
