    Exploitation of migrant workers .

    The Qatar human rights record .

    Have I heard the FA condemning what's occurred in Qatar ?

    Nope .

    Have I heard Raheem Sterling , Marcus Rashford or Tyrone Mings speaking out and making it known they aren't prepared to represent England in Qatar .

    What about the tv pundits ?

    When Ian Wright thumps the table on BT Sports and screams " more must be done " what does that mean ?

    Are you prepared to stay at home Ian and forfeit a four week jolly in Qatar plus a good salary ?

    Will Rio Ferdinand , Micah Richards and Jermain Jenas follow him in his stance ? .

    If you really believe in this thing then what's one World Cup given the sacrifices Martin Luther King , Nelson Mandela and Malcolm X made in fighting racism and inequality ? .

    The probable truth is that in reality you won't do anything that threatens your careers and bank balance .

    Virtue Signallers ??

    Hmmm , more than a hint .
    1000% correct.

    Critical Race Theory.
    Toxic ideology.
    Not allowed to criticise or you will be called a racist
    Theory that all white people are privileged and horrible - while all BAME people are in need of special assistance.
    A theory that attempts to divide.
    The Owen Jones wannabes on the BBS absolutely lap it up.

    BTW - good piece on GB News yesterday about the anniversary of the expulsion of Ugandan Asians.

    I’d like somebody to tell me what positive effect it has in sport because all I see is a negative effect.
    I see section of fans booing, I see a lot of footballers faces who don’t look all that into it and I see it being debated on social media which gets opinions both ways and some turning nasty and it’s now got to the point where it’s becoming an irrelevant gesture which defeats the objective.
    It may have turned into a massive government experiment, to see peoples reactions for future demonstrations.

    You’ve hit the nail squarely on the head there Animal.
    The Government, sports bodies and show business are littered with hypocrisy.

    I agree. I really think they're preaching to the converted though.
