Subject: RE: BS: FIFA World Cup 2022 unlike any other
Oddly, when I watch a football match (usually one involving Liverpool in my case), I see players of all colours and religions (or none), and I actually rejoice in the fact that they can engage in fierce competition yet play with good spirit, all take the knee, swap shirts at the end, hug each other in goal celebrations and generally all relate to each other in harmony and positivity. Of course, there will be spats, but they are invariably spats that arise from the passion of the sport, never prejudiced hatred. Oh that society reflected those same values, or maybe society has some catching up to do... What I find rather repressive is the negative attitudes of certain people who are so up their own bottoms when they see the the rainbow colours and creeds on the pitch and get so cross about it that they forget to enjoy the football. Their loss!
