We shouldn't play Israel.
Its not complicated, the FAI rightly called for Israel to be banned from FIFA, we have a chance to walk the walk. Refuse to play.

This year we'll give up 4% of all our revenue. 1% goes to staff on top of salary and bonus with 3% going to good causes. We're also very good at what we do so if you need coffee this week... imbibe.ie/pages/shop

I've written about this phenomenon in my column quite a lot and spoken about it regularly on the @louisemcsharry.bsky.social podcast and if I'm being totally honest at this point I think it's being done specifically to bait me.
Today, Paul Murphy said that the Government are afraid to stand up to big tech, and Micheál Martin replied "How dare you? Who the hell do you think you are? That is a reprehensible assertion."
You can gauge how true an accusation is by how flowery they get in the language of their rebuttal.
You find the idea that you're a top-down person "repugnant"? You're not just saying it's untrue, you're calling it out as REPUGNANT?
I'm afraid that makes it an extremely accurate accusation.

Could we please stop pretending the Saudi League featuring Cristiano "McRapey" Ronaldo is in the slightest bit interesting/relevant in any terms other than it's obvious Sportswashing.

I mean, it’s not even that “landmark”, it’s in-line with all previous research.
Same as before: Sports’ governing bodies should set policies based on good science and a spirit of inclusion, not the opinions of lunatics who only care about sport as a wedge issue to bully trans people out of society

This is a great example of what Marx called "the vampire thirst for the living blood of labour."
Dr Oz: "If we could get the average American to start working a year earlier, right out of high school, or a year later -- not retire -- or work better during their lifetime because they're healthy, it would generate about $3 trillion to the US economy. That would more than remove the debt."
