    On the point of the World Cup has anyone spotted the sheer hypocrisy regarding holding this tournament in Qatar .

    This goes deeper than just having to re-schedule domestic season's to accommodate a winter world cup and the bribery and corruption used to get the winning vote .

    Footballers , The FA and the sports media have in their infinite wisdom all decided they are not only paid very well to play , administrator and report the game they are also now politicians .

    BLM , rainbow laces and this that and the other rammed down our throats at every opportunity .

    But they'll all rock up in Qatar next year won't they , a country where it's illegal to be gay , a shocking record of human rights violations and thousands of lives lost by migrant workers building the World Cup stadiums .

    Not one word spoken by Southgate , Sterling or Rashford .

    Not one spoken by the FA .

    Not a peep from the pundits on our television screens .

    You want to mix politics and sport then I'm afraid you don't get to choose which virtues suit your agenda and which don't .

    You've made a rod for your own backs here with me .

    Either stay out of politics or you go the whole way and refuse to go to Qatar .

    Hypocritical virtue signalling the whole lot of em .
