1. Well, I mean you’re right but so are they. They should boycott. I can’t imagine for a second UEFA wouldn’t move the final though.

2. Not sure, is a war the same thing?

   I know War is ultimately the complete break down of politics.

3. And play the final in the venue where one of the home club players kicked his cat?

4. How about the conservatives hand back the Russian money their sloshing around in?

5. Well, they should boycott the final for their own personal safety, regardless of any political aspect for doing so.

6. It says a lot about little people think of the current Tory party that everybody (so far) on here appears to be totally believing a News Thump article.

   edit: it seems to be actually true, quite mind boggling.

7. I thought this crop of shitheads wanted footballers to stay out politics?

   Which is it?

8. [removed]

9. But they didn’t stay out of politics did they so it’s a thing now……

10. this is what the government comes up with…. effin footballers…. people are dying and football will stop putin… sanction every single russian that has anything to do with uk… freeze every last kopek…..

11. And all the English clubs will patriotically lose their games to avoid playing in the final.

12. A totally out of control super power is a bit different to BLM

13. I thought Russia wasn’t to be allowed to host competitions anyway. I noticed they hosted the world climbing championships and they played in the Handball World Cup as Russia. Can someone fill me in?

14. A full blown invasion is a bit more than just “politics”

15. So we’re still going to Qatar to play football in stadiums built with slave Labour in November?
