Tbh, I am against this whole pressure to make a statement thing. In general, not just football. Someone gets shot in say, Egypt, and you have a bunch of people tweeting Beyoncé saying ‘you sleep in Egyptian cotton, why no statement?’. All that results in is seeing the type of tame messages you speak of, which are almost done under duress to me. This is the Twitter era sadly. Everyone goes around counting who has tweeted. Nobody has to tweet anything, and there is no clear link between what they tweet and what they feel.
Harry Maguire has received loads of praise and as far as I saw he tweeted nothing. It seems he did something behind the scenes though. And tbh, even if he didn’t, so what really?
