又再打破「政治歸政治，體育歸體育」嘅謬誤. 注意. 當北京冬奧將會被杯葛嘅未來，啲藍絲又會口中唸唸有詞以上.

It is interesting to see how America has regressed to thrashing out the mechanics of their democracy and China has regressed from collective leadership now closer to dictatorship while Europe seems to be more progressive in refining/defining their democratic values in terms of social injustice and cultural values.

An excerpt from The Players’ Tribune published a very thoughtful and widely lauded piece by Gareth Southgate entitled ‘Dear England’ : I know my voice carries weight, not because of who I am but because of the position that I hold. At home, I’m below the kids and the dogs in the pecking order but publicly I am the England men’s football team manager. I have a responsibility to the wider community to use my voice, and so do the players. It’s their duty to continue to interact with the public on matters such as equality, inclusivity and racial injustice, while using the power of their voices to help put debates on the table, raise awareness and educate.

One very interesting dimension with this England Team is the political views of the popular manager Gareth Southgate. Here's a comment from the Irish Times: " It was last month that The Players’ Tribune published a very thoughtful and widely lauded piece by Gareth Southgate entitled ‘Dear England’ in which he addressed issues such as patriotism and racism. “I have never believed that we should just ‘stick to football’,” he wrote, supporting, for example, his players’ decision to take the knee before games. “It is their duty,” he argued, “to continue to interact with the public on matters such as equality, inclusivity and racial injustice”. Commenting on the piece in The Financial Times this week, under the headline ‘Can Gareth Southgate deliver both victory and progressive patriotism?’, Gideon Rachman revealed that the England manager’s ever-increasing popularity and profile isn’t going down too well with the more hard-core elements of the Conservative party." https://www.irishtimes.com/sport/soccer/international/eurozone-gareth-southgate-getting-under-the-skin-of-some-hardline-tories-1.4614056

Thanks Simon for the perceptive piece on the intricate dynamics between seemingly unconnected issues like British politics, football and the pandemic.
