Important trial going on in Sweden, where oil execs are accused of complicity in genocide in Sudan. Sheikh Mansour, of Man City and also horse racing (Haras de Fresnay-le-Buffard) among those watching with interest, as pressure ramps up for him to be sanctioned by UK government
In 1984, an Irish 21-year-old checkout girl Mary Manning, refused to handle Apartheid South African fruit.
Just refused.
And she was suspended.
But in the pre boomer years, people had this mad thing called "trade unions".
@SeanTheBawn@mofo_rising However, I thought there was a rule brought in a few years ago that made the Aussie rules style field/mark a foul i.e. knees on the back/shoulder. Now I'm glad it wasn't called, I thought it was a stupid thing to do, to rob the game of that spectacle, but I'd swear was brought in
@connolly_corner They should have Chris. Couldn't agree more. That's Coleman's point. It shouldn't be on players, they see how the likes of actors etc have been blackballed for their civil liberty stances. It was ever thus. Governments tend to need to be forced/shamed into take action though
The players are telling the Irish government and the FAI what to do. Boycott the Israel game. History will look well upon us, regardless of the short term consequences.
Strong words from Seamus Coleman on this. “I am a Dad, I am a husband, I’ve got a heart, I know the difference between right and wrong… We represent our country, the people of Ireland, and we got to take that into account, what their opinion is on it as well.”
@connolly_corner And obviously when I say 'They,' are committing genocide, I don't mean Jews, I don't mean all Israelis, I mean the psychopathic Israeli government.
