RE: Argentina vs Israel suspended
I was wondering what all the hype was about. I just wish that the people who want to play sport were not denied their passion, including the spectators who just wanted to experience that once in a life time opportunity. It reminds me of the springboks playing against the All blacks and the people protested against the game. In both cases the politics ruined it for the sports people and the fans. I guess if you gotta make a statement you have to hit where it hurts. Tricky one, because Israel also has a side to the story.
Yeah one has to keep in mind the passion of the people but in my opinion this was more of a humanitarian aspect, in the past few months during the Gaza strikes several unarmed Palestinians have been shot by Israeli snipers and they have no remorse these people are children and women. That is why at the current situation it was a good decision by the players not to play while blood is shed in the outskirts.
