Is James Maddison just the new Kinky? Does he look good in a poor side? The Mailbox is here...
How many fans will return to watching England games as we progress through the tournament?
1) Is the lack of excitement and anticipation largely because it’s happening in the middle of the regular football season? Almost certainly. 6) Whataboutery is fine if it’s used fairly and accurately to expose hypocrisy. It would be hypocritical for a Chelsea or Man City fan to take issue with the Saudi takeover of Newcastle If used carelessly, Whataboutery can morph into obfuscation and apologism. To refrain from criticising the Qatari regime because “other countries have done bad things and also hosted World Cups” is lazy, cowardly and morally reprehensible.
9) When it comes to international boycotts, there is a strong argument to say that they can actually make matters worse: alienating an already regressive regime and further entrenching them in their harmful practices and customs. Furthermore, a boycott can often be a propagandistic boon to a Tyrant or Autocrat, who will use it to fabricate an image of oppression and victimhood and thus galvanise support from its populace.
14) It is insulting to Muslims – many of whom are gay/women/secular/liberal – to ignore such abhorrent behaviour or attempt to justify it with moral relativism
