"We must allow athletes the right to have an opinion, just as we must accept that they may not want to share it as well. They are citizens, like artists, who often express political positions. These do not always go in the same direction. For example, Brazilian players supported Bolsonaro. We cannot confine the world of sports in a bubble where only tactics and 4-4-2 are discussed. The image of the apolitical footballer is a myth that is increasingly collapsing, says Jean-Michel De Waele, a professor of political science at ULB, specializing in issues related to sport." #Football #Politique #ConflitIsréloPalestinien (translated)
