Boycotting a football match is about as low-effort an act of resistance as you could imagine when opposing an ongoing genocide.
You’d think.
That said, at least you can have conversations like this on national television in Ireland and have viewpoints like this aired.

They only missed the chance to answer the question about keeping football and politics separate with "that's a great idea. The thing is, being friendly towards Israel as things are right now IS politics".

Never put me in a situation where I have to be part of an interview.

in England the commentator would probably be smeared as being antisemitic and lose his job.
Ireland has become much more progressive and enlightened than backwards little England with its flagshaggers and national front Reform party.

If more than two sentences in favour of a boycott got broadcast and weren't immediately dismissed or talked-over by a chuckle-fuck corporate-mouthpiece commentator I'd be shocked.
