Real Anti Racism Stand

[life on mars]

If footballers particularly UK ones want to make the biggest impact sport has ever seen forget taking the knee just refuse to participate in the Qatar World Cup.

There are reports that 12 migrants die every week working on stadium builds and are basically treated like slaves .

Qatar has no respect for woman or gay rights ,severe institutional racism and no democracy.

I'd be happy for Wales to go but highlight all the crap that happens there

Something like a rainbow kit would be brilliant

I agree 100%. Complete the qualifiers then make a stand.

My guess is that one or two players will boycott it anyway but I wonder if any football pundits will say no.
The TV companies seem to have gone out of their way in recent years on political correctness.
There are quite a few that are pretty vocal on our screens every week.

There'll probably be a few token gestures offered to allow all to save face.

Slavery was my initial thought before opening that link, fair enough though

Can they do both or are they only allowed one of your two selected protests?

Depends on how they view slavery and death in the name of football I guess ?

Modern footballers are very vocal these days on the rights and wrongs of life, so what better action and refuse to play ( that would be the protest to end protest)

Re: Real Anti Racism Stand

I agree with this.

If the messages are meaningful, it seems hypocritical to go to Qatar and say nothing.

And I'm not saying they should say or do anything, I just think it's a tad hypocritical, but maybe that is better than insulting hosts..i dunno.

I was just checking if they do that and also take the knee?
