I fully expected the games to be cancelled this weekend, but I still strongly disagree with it. We shouldn’t be forced to join in with mourning the death of someone we never knew if we don’t want to.
As for the next level anger of “no politics discussed on a football forum!!!”, football and politics should mainly be separate but sometimes they become entwined, and it’s completely okay to discuss it then. A thread about starting games earlier to evade the astronomical electricity bills coming our way, believe it or not, has political undertones to it.
