We thought it’d be appropriate to spend a few minutes of today to send our thoughts and prayers out to the families of Egypt’s football tragedy last night. Contrary to popular beliefs, we all know that football shouldn’t be a matter of life and death. Lives can’t be taken away out of one’s anger at the scoreline of a match. It’s absurd to think that the deaths of the 74 innocent fans were a direct result of fan violence – but someone needs to step up and offer an explanation and a solution pronto.
Interestingly, Egyptians are now angered at the fact that they have “turned their backs” on one another. A demonstration was held in Cairo yesterday to “express rage” at what had happened which led to the deaths. Also, are FIFA and Sepp Blatter going to hang around and only offer their weak condolences? Do something!
