People who need time to mourn more, or feel they couldn’t make it through a game without dissolving into tears can simply stay home. They have a choice. When it’s a blanket ban because of some dictat that you can’t do both day is mourning by force.
Other sports went ahead and I haven’t read of any incidents of people being carted away overcome.
Professional or proscribed mourning isn’t on. It isn’t disrespectful to go to a game and if some think it is, who the fuck are they to tell me how I should feel and when? Utter bollocks.
And what about the countless people who had paid for travel and hotels to be told they can’t because some **** took that decision? Will the state reimburse them? If not, then why not?
The year is 2022 not 1622.
