Why the **** is there even a pride match ?

Gone are the days when it was just about the football...and it is the worse for that !

To let the next generation know that it's perfectly normal to love whoever you want and a completely acceptable part of a modern society. It's not for you. You can just watch the football.

Besides, it'll be fabulous.

The last 2 World Cups have been held in Russia and Qatar. In Qatar, same sex activity is outright illegal, and in Russia, although it wasn't strictly illegal, it was definitely not welcomed, and they had anti-"propaganda" laws, and they've turned the screw much more in recent years.

I assume the pride match is an attempt for a liberal area of USA to show that football should be for ALL fans.

(Ironically probably not popular in large swathes of the country)

How do you know it will be fabulous? Have you got psychic powers?
 
Why the **** is there even a remembrance match every year?

There isn’t a Remembrance Match every year. Clubs commemorate Remembrance Day. Not surprised at one of the names liking your post as he dislikes everything that celebrates anything to do with this country.

Oh what a great argument - semantics!

For the record I’m for a remembrance match.

It helps to remember those who fought and died for the right to live as they are.

And so does a remembrance match…

So why ask why the **** is there one?
And it wasn’t semantics it was FACT.
