Apparently a number of England footballers are not jabbed and as such they will be refused entry to Qatar for that reason, now that's fair enough as I'm all for freedom of choice in regards to the vaccines currently under trial.....but this shouldn't be the issue..the issue should be even playing there at all.
Wouldn't it actually be nice for our national team to put their faux ideologies into meaningful action by stating as one,that due to the horrendous human rights and homophobic nature of the host country we will boycott this event.
If they fly out to Qatar and wear rainbow laces and take the knee it will be a level of hypocrisy beyond contempt.. |  |

I’m certain the players will boycott it. We’ve seen that they are the catalyst for political change for the better in this country, those footballers are as politically important and noble as Nelson Mandela.
So there’s no chance they’ll go and take that blood money over there. | |

Yes, it needs to be boycotted. Having a celebration type tournament in country that kills gay people and worked builders to death is a non starter. It needs to be stopped. Nobody should be entering that terrible place. | |

I'm trying to imagine the FA's spin doctors busying themselves conjuring up some vague reason to justify competing...I for one can't find a single reason to be there at all. | |

The “Woke Brigade” are very selective on what we must be offended and outraged by. That bell end Hamilton pockets around 30 million a year from a company knee deep in slavery, however they are the wrong type of slaves so it doesn’t count..That twãt Linacre will be over there and so will all the kneeling morons, filling their pockets with cash. | |

Quite right. Let's hope all the pundits refuse to go, despite being paid millions to go there. No doubt they will go to the country that kills gay people, but wear rainbow laces to pretend they support the cause. [Post edited 2 Oct 2021 11:23]

If it goes ahead, which is likely, will you boycott it? And here’s a thought. Perhaps it is better to go out there and raise the issues in their back yard rather than just not turn up? |  | | |

Nothing would hit them harder than the big teams pulling out of the tournament. | |

Are you old enough to remember the Black Power salutes? They made a bigger statement than just not competing. Going back to Jesse Owens competing in Nazi Germany too. If people want to raise awareness surely it is better to go there and do it instead of just bailing out. It’s not as if they will miss the money if the top teams bailed. | | | |

I have zero interest in a competition being held in a country with such a terrible human rights agenda...those who participate are hypocrits..simple as that. | |

Salutes and gestures these days are just orchestrated by corporations as way for athletes to keep coining it in while also virtue signalling.
The rich slave owners in Qatar couldn’t care less about what colour laces somebody will wear or if they take a knee. If their showpiece event turns into a disaster because nobody turns up that will be one of the biggest stories in world sporting history and f*ck them right over. [Post edited 2 Oct 2021 14:42]

Yes. I'd love this to happen. But it won't. And we'll all watch it as we think England have a shot. | |

A no show will humiliate them massively..the damage to their reputation would be significant and deserved..I agree with this stance as it is the most powerful point that can be made. | |

England would be fined by FIFA (possibly banned from future tournaments) if they no-show.
So do it!
Screw FIFA, a more corrupt, self-serving shower of shite could hardly be imagined. | | | |

Quite right. Nobody turn up. Embarrass them, no teams there, no tournament to have. Just like Russia, they won't care if a few people turn up in rainbow laces. That won't stop their behaviour. Don't turn up simple as that. No team turn up to show them we abhor their terrible treatment of gay people, others and that they deserve to be abandoned. [Post edited 2 Oct 2021 17:40]

The Tories enacted gay marriage and not sure about you but last time I checked they haven't brought in capital punishment for gay people. [Post edited 2 Oct 2021 19:17]

The hosting of this World Cup was decided by corrupt FIFA fatcats like Sepp Blatter having their blubbery,
wobbly jowels stuffed with fulus.
It should be boycotted but of course it won't be because money is more of a motive than morality. | | | |

None of us started this thread. I do think it raises an important question though. If we are going to start labelling people hypocrites for taking the knee but also going to Qatar, where do you draw the line? Do the knee takers then have to protest about every issue that effects human rights if they want to avoid being called out as a hypocrite?
If, as a by product of this WC, more people start asking questions about the amount of business our government does with these people and the likes of the Saudis, perhaps it is not a bad thing?
Oh, and when did anti racism become a “faux ideology”? [Post edited 3 Oct 2021 9:46]
