There are some idiots on the pitch...
As the members of Russian punk protest group, Pussy Riot, stormed the pitch during the World Cup Final, the commentator said something like “some idiots are on the pitch.”
Quite right. Idiots. Imbeciles. Nincompoops.
Wat kind of dipstick does that? Invading the pitch during the single most important football game in the entire sporting calendar? Get off. I want to watch this game….there’s some serious stuff going on here. That guy seems to have seriously hurt his ankle judging by the way he’s rolling around in complete agony …oh no, he’s OK. Those guys are having a cuddle in the penalty box in stark defiance of Russia’s policy on sexuality…oh no, the referee has told them to stop.
Curtailment of human rights. State oppression. The suppression of free speech. The imprisonment or assassination of political adversaries. Only idiots would protest about these things during a football match. Time and place, people!
Rather than disrupting the big game itself they could have handed out a strongly worded pamphlet to people as they went into the stadium, and perhaps tried to get a rousing chorus of “we shall overcome” going during half-time. They could have even organised a protest march where they held placards saying stuff like, “we’re a little bit worried about how things are going.” They could have even sent a petition to that nice Mr Putin – he seems a nice man.
I hope they’ve learnt their lesson. I certainly have.
I was planning to protest against the government’s handling of Brexit at the local under 9’s badminton competition, but I know now that it’s not right. I’ll maybe wear a wristband instead.
