Quote ="davids"Well said, pretty much my thoughts entirely, very nicely summed up.
Particularly pertinent is the point about respecting some deaths but not others.
There is also the problem of respecting one cause but not others. Why should sports administrators and referees become arbiters of what is the 'correct' and acceptable type of political cause, and the type of political cause a player might receive a card and a ban for? It's too much to ask of them in my opinion, they should be focused on applying the rules of the game.'"
Good post.
Unfortunately, the people funding our game have decided that BLM is the political trend to follow ( see their sports news output for proof ) and so our sport as to get in line, otherwise it's probably curtains for British RL.
I think what's obvious, is that if we had crowds in the stadiums, then the politics wouldn't be getting such an extended look in.
