I nearly started a new thread for this, then remembered that I always have lots of ideas and most them turn out to be flawed and shite!
But my blood really boils when I see injustice and I get fixated. I know that brining politics into football is a very contentious issue, but i'd be interested in knowing what you guys though if the following were to happen.
6,500 people have died making the stadiums for our next world cup. I'd capitalise that number if I could. They should not be forgotten.
In the same way that Leon Bailey acknowledged Steffi Graf when he scored (at least that was what my brain first saw!) How would you feel if our players whipped off their shirts at full time to each have one of the names of those that died during construction?
Would this bring a massive downer to an event that is supposed to be joyous, would it be dangerously political, or would it be an important statement to show that death for entertainment is not ok/ we acknowledge the suffering of their families? I understand that it would take a lot of teams and a lot of games for everyone to be acknowledged, if those names are even salvageable.
