The world has gone mad again..
..25 football fans were arrested in Somalia on account on them seeing the Man U - Chelsea game on television.
Some of the fans are less than 10 years old, but still they are not released.
Makes me really think how god damn lucky I am, and how unlucky others are. And how different and yet how similar things are. You have to be a pretty dedicated fan to risk enprisonment only to see a game on television. Or the girls of countries who ban woman on football stadiums, but still try to get in.
They have all my support and respect. If I was put in their position, I don't know if I'd be as brave.
It shows the beauty of football - the beauty that goes beyond borders and cultural differences. Regardless of age, religion, sex, language, education, you can love football all the same. You have that arena that you can meet and that you can understand each other upon.. integration at it's finest.
And still you're brought down because of it.
What will become of us?
