Keep politics out of football. Period.



This for me...and sport in general.

If people feel passionately about this, then offer up your spare room. Empty gestures achieve nothing other than making yourself feel a bit smug and worthier than others.

Not passing comment on this subject in particular, but this argument in general is daft. If that was the case then most people wouldn’t be able to show support or like anything

Most people have a spare room, I’d imagine.

Vast majority want somebody else to do something.

It's a bit of a leap from holding a flag to giving up a spare room.

You mean like mealy mouthed, pious celebrities? I’m still waiting for those cunts who said they’d move to La La land after the EU referendum. Cunts are still here.

Couldn't agree more. I don't go to events, pay hard earned money to get preached at. Usually by people wealthier and more privileged than me.

It’s a tough one but I’m a firm believer to keep politics out of football. I can’t imagine what these people have been through and my heart goes out to them. However, I don’t go to Swindon to think about the war in Afghanistan, China’s persecution of the Uyghurs or refugees from South Sudan. It’s not appropriate to put someone’s suffering above another but I can choose to be involved and donate away from football.

I really hate what is going in Afghanistan, it’s horrible on so many levels. But, as others have intimated, football is mine/others place to escape from the horrible shit that happens in life, not a place to refocus on it. I don’t care how selfish it is, I want to be insulated from horrible shit when I’m watching im watching football. For that reason I’m against

If football can be used to support a cause then why not. I have no particular aversion to that.

Are other countries helping Afghanistan people? I know Canada have but what about other European countries?

What about any country in the World? Lots of critics of the west but the west always jumps in to help.
