A German soccer federation executive committee member says it’s time to consider a World Cup boycott because of the actions of U.S. President Donald Trump.
This was mainly seen as at least doing something, rather then being shut down completely. To be fair the only team to actually make a more powerful statement was Iran, which was mainly due to everybody else doing nothing.
If this is the best that can be mustered, that’s just painful.
That’s not to say the Dutch position wasn’t even more pathetic. They wanted to wear a so-called rainbow captain’s armband which didn’t even actually depict a rainbow, but they were too afraid to do even this over potentially getting a yellow card.
This is so fucking painful. I hope they themselves didn’t believe they were actually making some ‘powerful statement’.

It’s still the most powerful statement by a football team that I am aware of, so there is that.
I wouldn’t mind something more powerful, like the abolishment of FIFA or straight up found an alternative organization.
Until that is happening I’m not gonna watch the World Cup, not buy merch and I’m not even going to wear the merch that I already own.
I might use my fixed vuvuzela to mess with people that are watching.
