I spoke to the Ireland Radar soccer podcast about the absolute shambles that is the FAI's handling of the games against the Israeli men's team, and how their arrogance and stupidity made us all complicit in sportswashing the genocide of the Palestinian people. open.spotify.com/episode/59WX...

Does this explain things a little? We have to #StopTheGame. The FAI says it will not. We shouldn't be sportswashing a genocidal regime. Other players should follow the good example of Gavin Bazunu and refuse to play another game against this genocidal apartheid state.

Don't tell him I said this, but Mark is consistently the smartest voice in any room he's in talking about sport and children's place in it - and of course, the FAI wouldn't let him within an ass's roar of whatever flaming pile of stinking garbage their current "youth development" plan is.

Luckily I have an appointment so I won't have to follow this fuckery in real time, but for the record - the FAI were catastrophically under-prepared for literally the most predictable shit imaginable, and they're going to go into the Dáil and wave their mickeys around as if they were geniuses.

The FAI and the government had every opportunity to decide not to let our football team play Israel. But they failed to make that call. They have failed the players, and put the burden of making that decision on those players' shoulders. Shame.

In the spirit of England's difficulty being Ireland's opportunity, pretty much the only way I'd agree to this is if part of the price was the unification of Ireland. Most of us are doing fine without them, and after the trouble they caused with Brexit, why would anyone want them back?

From the genocide of the Palestinian people to the climate catastrophe to AI destroying what's left of the planet, we have to remind ourselves what democracy is - too many people are taking positions of power, and then ignoring those who put them there. The powerful need to fear the pitchfork again.

Dr. Ahmed Alqady is a doctor in Nasser Hospital, Khan Younis, Gaza. He’s seen the genocide firsthand. He’s still living it, and can’t believe Israel are allowed to participate in international football, never mind that Ireland played them and will do again shortly. #StopTheGame

This is so important. They’ve broken the economic models that fund journalism is because they recognize the *purpose* of journalism threatens their bullshit-based valuations, ie, the sources of their wealth and power. Yet actual-existing journalists were instead crucial for creating their myths.

I remember going on the Nolan tv show to talk about #MeToo and the framing magically adjusted once the show went live to ask if it was going too far. In October 2017, when it had barely gotten its boots on.

Talked to lots of people in football about the FAI's astounding level of incompetence with regard to the games against the Israeli team, and it is absolutely staggering how poorly-prepared they were for even the most obvious basic and predictable shit, such as the use of the word "genocide".

Ebba Busch är dömd för grovt förtal. För henne gick det utmärkt att fortsätta som partiledare, vara vice statsminister och minister. Mohamed Ali är inte dömd för brott, inte ens delgiven misstanke om brott ändå har han toppat nyheterna i snart två veckor. Rasismen är äcklig.

i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

also thinking a lot about how #MeToo apparently went too far, when it’s quite obvious now that it didn’t go far enough. it didn’t really go anywhere. there were no lasting consequences of that cultural moment beyond people making jokes about it.

The genocide of the Palestinian people is not an "opinion" - it is fact. You are either against that genocide, or you support and accept it by playing against Israel. This is not hard.

Screenshot of part of an article that says:
Asked if it was fair to say there were vastly differing opinions among his men over the Israel tie, Hallgrimsson said: "All I can say is I think we are all uncomfortable, number one.

"Number two, we have different opinions, and we should allow people to have different opinions. It’s not one opinion that’s right and all the others are wrong.

FN varnade redan i november 2023 för att det fanns tecken på ett förestående folkmord. Sen dess var vi skyldiga att agera. Men vad gjorde vi? Vår regering har stöttat Israel på varje tänkbart sätt samtidigt som media brännmärkt de som protesterat. Sverige är i högsta grad medskyldigt till folkmord.

Just to fully underline how spiteful this shit is for those unaware: On the left is the route the Orange Order have been ordered to take for the past 3 decades without trouble. On the right is the route that has brought hundreds of cops to Drumcree. The only motivation is sectarian antagonism.
