Fuck off Jon Sopel. Stick to defending your adultering BBC mate
Odd vitriol towards Sopel - what’s your beef?
There’s nothing wrong with football making a stand on basic issues that shouldnt be political like ‘dont be racist’ or ‘no to homophobia’ but taking a stand on highly complex geopolitical issues like the middle east is different. Not least because I just dont think there is anything of value that can be added by the FA on the Israel-Palestine conflict.
Yea I think this is where I stand as well.
I dont really want to hear Klopps takes on a long running geopolitical war.
I think the best is a simple gesture like an armband, minutes silence or kneel for those killed in the conflict. Anything else is likely to do more harm than good.
Everything is political, especially sports, especially football
Exactly. Stop this unnecessary ban on Russia playing football then.
