Nice swerve. But of we are going by polls, how about a Palestinian player?

What is your view on Town signing Sergei Baltacha at the same time the Soviets were killing 500,000 to over 2 million Afghan civilians?
Just answer the question please. |
If you want to compare atrocities then I don't think the October 7th attack is on the same level as the retributive actions committed in its name. That said I would expect the questions to be similar, for example military background, involvement in civilian casualties etc.
I'll continue to treat your whataboutery with disdain. I voiced no discontent regarding Baltacha's signing at the time, mainly on the basis that I wasn't yet born. |  |

Ah. So shifting the goalposts now.
Previously your stance was that you would "have reservations if town were rumoured to be signing an Israeli player"
Now, you'd be ok if they passed your purity test. Of course yopu already know that Israel has compulsory military service. |  |

I wonder if they would feel the same about signing an Iranian player? Or a Palestinian? Seeing as they believe that citizens are responsible for the actions of their government.
When the UK/US coalition killed between 150,000 and 210,000 Iraqi civilians should british and American footballers been blacklisted?
Or maybe they are in favour of this sort of thing

Could have been worse, he might have been blown up if he was in his own country.

Or murdered at a music festival in his own country

So what exactly is your point? How is your post relevant to the actual debate about footballers being black listed because of the actions of their government. Perhaps when Manor Solomon visits Portman Road next season he should wear a yellow star on an armband so we know which player to boo during the game? [Post edited 8 May 11:23]
