The sad fact is that the whataboutism (the others do it too) and fatalism (there is nothing that can be done) that, on evidence of this forum alone, is quite prevalent, is a passively supporting factor for it to continue.
If there was an appropriate amount of outrage, calls for action, and political will to act, this would have a significant effect. We know this because things improved noticeably in club football when such action was taken in the late 80s.
It doesn't really matter why people do it, unless it is pertinent to a proactive solution, whether others do it, unless it is pertinent to international collaboration to resolve it, or how much, except to measure how much there needs to be dealt with.
The bottomline is that it is too much, action is required and everybody ought to be on that same page instead of offering arguments for why it is better to shrug our shoulders and offer thoughts and prayers instead.
