Tbh I question why it should be on the players. If people seriously think we shouldn’t be having this tournament, surely it’s on the governments, footballing authorities and management of teams before the 25 individual players (& their replacements) are asked to come together to stop this.
Basically a political stand shouldn’t be left to your winger and DM.
It’s not a coincidence that it’s the same issue as climate change.
People say they want someone in authority to deal with the issue, but they won’t stop buying the lifestyle whose effects they say they want clamping down on.
And they know the people in power are there to make sure the excitement doesn’t stop, that everyone makes serious money, so they splurge on exciting spectacles for them to join in with. And those people have power because anyone who urges restraint is going against what the audience and keeps enthusiastically showing they want.
At some point, people have to walk away from the exciting lifestyle choices offered, and just boycott the offerings so that the people organising it are shown that they have no support from the public and can be replaced by people who will act seriously.
That’s why they and their well-rewarded broadcasters keep telling us that’s the one thing we shouldn’t be doing to express our discontent.
And people buy into it, because they’re addicted and don’t want to give up the lifestyle, even as it gets less and less enjoyable, and more and more obviously a disaster for everyone involved except the corrupt, who thrive on the opportunities as everything falls apart.
Football at this level is a key part of the End of the World Party that we’re funding and supporting. We all know it.
When are supporters going to deal with what they know they have to do to deny the corrupt their power, and stop joining in so that they lose their power?
We can’t keep expecting someone else to come and make the the problems go away. We know that’s not going to happen.
