Just been watching a fascinating debate between Fabrice Muamba and Marvin Bartley about racism in football. Obviously in advance of and setting the potential scene for tonight’s game in Poland.
Marvin absolutely says players walk off. I agree. Fabrice seems to think that playing behind closed doors and hitting associations and UEFA & FIFA in the pockets is a better way to drive it out of football. I disagree.
Marvin then came out with a shocking statement and really made me sit up and take notice. “I would rather be hit by a cup than be subjected to racial abuse” he said when talking about the missiles that were thrown onto the pitch in Hungary. Honestly this has really upset me that in 2021 a man would rather have things thrown at him than be called names. None of it should happen but blows the sticks and stones theory right out the water. Just goes to show what affect that this horrible element of certain society’s and cultures has on people.
I’m fully behind any team walking off the pitch and let’s hope this discussion doesn’t have the need to be resumed between 7pm - 10pm tonight during the England game. If it does my message is Harry lead your team off the pitch and if need be surrender the points if the FIFA cowards then won’t act.
Mods I would politely request you do not move this to the OT section as this is absolutely bang on topic and football related until we have driven this horrible disease out of our game and out of society in general.
What is it with people in certain society’s and there knuckle dragging ism’s it’s 2021 for ****s sake.
Rant over. Have a nice day all.
