Once again if it was bad enough to stop the game, the players should have had the guts to tell the public the words that were said.
To not do so is hypocritical and encourages it to happen tomorrow
No point in telling the words to only the sweep it under the carpet team.
This was always going to happen.
No, it doesn’t. Everyone knows what was said, and the players don’t have to repeat it in public for anyone’s titillation. Which is exactly what it is for most of those who wish to see the word.
Having a bunch of powerful interests who don’t wish to be embarrassed means yes, it was never likely to lead widespread change or sanction.
But calling it out and bringing attention to it caused headlines and brought awareness. It is making people think about their behavior that will make change.
Piss off with your ‘have guts’ and ‘hypocritical’ from an anonymous account, rather than on the field against one of the most powerful nations in world football. They made a call in the moment. Most of us have had the guts to back our players.
