No the best case scenario is that Lucas is uneducated and ignorant to endorse that man. The worst case scenario is he is educated on the issues and still agrees with Bolsonaro that daughters are conceived “in a moment of weakness” or that gay people can have their gayness beaten out of them or that the military dictatorship didn’t kill enough people. I really hope tht isn’t the case as if he believes any of those things I’d find it hard to support him, I hope Lucas is just uneducated.

What about a scenario in which Lucas isn't as ignorant and uneducated as you think he would have to be to endorse such a man, but he feels he would actually tackle on some issues he feels are seriously important for his country.

Look, I'm Guatemalan, we have had our history with military dictatorships so I know very well where you're coming from. What I don't know very well is how violent the situation in Brazil actually is and why some of it's citzens may consider such drastic meassures to fight it.

Are you saying a presidents social beliefs have no impact on a country’s social policy? He’s openly said there’s “no doubt” he’ll start a military dictatorship if he becomes president. If people don’t want these things don’t vote for them, if they do you can only assume they aren’t too opposed to them.

That's not what I'm saying. What I'm actually suggesting is that perhaps social policy isn't an actual priority for Brazil right now. I'm also suggesting that, in these times, Brazilian people probably wouldn't let any politician get away with becoming a fascist tyrant. I could definitely be wrong about both things though!

Don't judge anyone, Lucas has his own views and opinions and until he explains why he has those views who the fuck are we to judge.
Side issue, maybe we should get all the players to wear a t-shirt emblazoned with LUCAS IS NO FASCIST on them for a laugh for today's game

Tottenham forward Lucas Moura has said the club should have ended their 10-year trophy drought by now -- but insists everything is in place for them to finally win.

"Winning a trophy is missing," Moura, 26, told ESPN Brazil. "Because the infrastructure and the players are there. We should have a trophy for the fans.

"It is my objective this season and I really believe in this. When I first came here, before signing, I was blown away -- I was presented and then we were brilliant for 90 minutes in the 2-0 victory over Manchester United.

"The team was great again this season to win 3-0 and all of this makes me believe more in the team and we should believe we can win a trophy."

Saturday's clash with Liverpool was supposed to be the unveiling of the new White Hart Lane, but this has now since been delayed.

"We're not disappointed, but we are anxious to get to know the stadium," Moura said. "From what we've seen in the pictures, it will be very modern and big.

"But it won't interfere with our preparation for the Liverpool game, nor our mentality or focus. We have adapted to Wembley, the fans back the team there and it has become our home.

"Everything is in place for us to have a great game against Liverpool."

Whilst I've enjoyed the debate on Lucas' views and what some think he should believe in, all that matters to me is how he plays and why he is here. That article ticks all the boxes. He's here to win trophies. He gives his all for the whole 90 minutes. He has the attitude i want in our team. He's personal choices/beliefs are secondary at this stage.

Great to see him back in the Brazil squad! Now hopefully Lamela gets a recall to the Argentina squad too.

Politics should stay out of sports imo (and vice versa).

Think Moura is very religious and that's why he is for Bolsonaro. And there we go - religion should stay out of politics (and vice versa)
