It’s not even just about gay people or women’s rights. Underneath all that it’s a very basic standing up to spoiled **** bullies. They’re flexing their wealth by buying the tournament and stamping their feet like little cry babies to get what whey want and have everything their way.

How powerful an image would that have been to see Harry Kane take a yellow card for wearing that armband. Dare I say an image powerful enough to bring down FIFA itself. The perfect poster to show just how truly rotten they will forever be. But they bottled it, the chance is gone. And there is now no point taking the knee, it’s a hollow, empty gesture.
Corruption has scored a full house. Nothing will ever change.
