As far as I can see the only cherry picking going on here is from footballers dropping on one knee before PL games but will put all their so called principles to one side and participate in an abhorrent event in December built on exploitation , a lack of human rights and the loss of thousands of lives as a consequence .
However according to you that's fine because if they don't go their football careers will be impacted .
On one hand your telling me how much racism in football is going on and on the other your telling me the players have to protect their careers .
If your going to use sport as a political platform the stench of hypocrisy isn't a good look .
Nobody is asking anybody to set themselves on fire , not going to a World Cup isn't even in the same conversation to what Mandela went through .
