FA cup 3rd round ties to kick off a minute late, as part of a campaign to promote Mental Health says the Football Association. The move is in partnership with heads up campaign & N H S every mind matters. The aim is to encourage fans to think about their mental wellbeing.

Joking aside I know it's a very important topic but not sure why football/sports in general see the need to champion/support every cause.
I think most of our fans need a minute to consider their mental well-being after tonight's performance.
That's brilliant, as we normally concede in the first minute.
It’s not that they want to support it, more that they are scared NOT to support it.Quote:

I’m sure they do, and nothing is stopping them, but just how this one minute will have any significant effect is debatable.Quote:

Maybe they also want to raise awareness that some ex footballers suffer from depression when they retire.
