That's quite a hot seat topic, & like all things #socialmedia, it's better to discuss it with #sincerity, #intelligence, & #heart — instead of #bias, #fanaticism, & #martyrdom

"Because fanaticism and ignorance is forever busy, and needs feeding. And soon,...with banners flying and with drums beating we'll be marching backward, BACKWARD, through the glorious ages of that Sixteenth Century when bigots burned the man who dared bring enlightenment and intelligence to the human mind!" — Spencer Tracy as Henry Drummond in “Inherit the Wind”, 1960
I honestly hate the world of #football. I don't mean kids kicking a ball in the playground, but the #corruption, the #fanaticism, the #violence.
I also remember how important the global cricket #boycott was in the fight against South African #apartheid.
I wish the football fans of the world had turned their backs on #Qatar and #FIFA.
So, I applaud this guy.
