Events like this walk off force people to re-consider their own attitudes and often also their own past behaviour.
Many of the comments, excuses, imaginery scenarios, reasons and analysis in this thread betray a feeling that many just wished the walk off never happened.
Quite a few are squirming their way through this, looking to deflect or double down.
This is why the walk off was a bold statement. It has forced players, officials and the public in to an uncomfortable situation where they have to think about it and to question their own belief structures.
So, it doesn't really mater what FIFA say. Why would anyone look to an organisation like that for validation? We've made our statement and it's having a positive effect.
