I'm happy to use one of my three posts for the day to say that this is an excellent post.Your post can’t be that narrow minded. Politics have always been a massive part of sport, and part of why sport has always meant so much.
Do you really think Real vs Barca is such a significant match simply because of the two teams trophy cabinet? Similarly United and Liverpool rivalry transcends football to actual business rivalry between the two cities in days gone by.
Even outside of football, why do you think that it meant so much to the old West Indies and India teams in cricket to beat England? Hint, it’s not simply because England were a good team they wanted to beat.
You can say you’re not interested if you want, but you can’t dismiss politics in sport when it has had so much influence in it for a very long time now.
I apologize if this came across as condescending, but blanket statements like anyone who makes political statements in football should be punished irk me.
