And As Trix said.... 'So what examples could you give of what you've risked?'
I don't really see how that's relevant. I did serve in the Army but I don't suppose that counts as much since I never got shot or injured.

My point is why are footballers being held to such high moral standards that those criticising wouldn't live up to in their own every day lives? When you were in the army would you have worn something making a political statement visibly on the outside of your uniform even when it went against regulation, and you'd have certainly faced disciplinary action for doing so?I don't really see how that's relevant.

Its not the players fault that FIFA are corrupt and chose a disgusting place with medieval views to host the world cup. It should have been decided long ago that it shouldn’t have gone ahead here, then we wouldn’t be having the armband conversation.
No one was watching.England won 6-2, i just thought i'd let everyone know as i believe no one was watching due to issues they have with Qatars human rights record.
Why should it be the players taking a stand and not staff at FIFA and all the national associations (some of whom voted in favour of Qatar hosting)?Absolutely, and if they made a stand it would put FIFA and the FA in the spotlight too for their complicity in the whole sordid affair. As usual though, as with most things of this sort of magnitude, I expect it to all be swept under the carpet and things to carry on exactly as before.
LOL ! Yeah, i bet there won't be anymore talk of armbands unless they go out early,England won 6-2, i just thought i'd let everyone know as i believe no one was watching due to issues they have with Qatars human rights record.

i wonder how many on here, who are so concerned about human rights didn't watch,
my guess zero
CLOWNS !
Nah, just countries with basic human rights for all. If you don’t understand the situation, why even comment.So you guys think only countries exhibiting certain western values should get to host a world cup? Okay, let's also rename it to the western cup since we're at it then. Some of you sound just as imperialistic as the England from 5 centuries ago, it's just the nature of the empire you're trying to impose what's sort of different now.
What a shitty take on what this is all about.So you guys think only countries exhibiting certain western values should get to host a world cup?

what about countries who start wars because of weapons that don't exist ?Nah, just countries with basic human rights for all. If you don’t understand the situation, why even comment.
