of all the many terrible things that seem to be afflicting the public, the prevalence of defeatist mindsets with zero capacity for creative problem solving (or indeed the unwillingness to even *imagine* possible solutions to problems) might be the thing which freaks me out most.

Now we have so many more tools at our disposal. Why should this be hard?

whatever you feel about this you have to admit it's rare for a radicalized man who's frustrated or angry and ready to choose violence to actually correctly identify the source of their suffering, instead of just blaming and killing women and minorities.....

The silence on this is wretched. Every single player and national team should be asking about this and demanding answers from FIFA and UEFA.
