I think Pep Guardiola got a bit carried away with his passion for social justice
. I mean, who doesn't love a good rant about Palestine or Sudan every now and then? But come on, mate! Football is not the time or place for politics, especially when it comes to something as sensitive as anti-Semitism
.
I'm all for using your platform to raise awareness about important issues, but sometimes less is more
. Guardiola's comments were well-intentioned, I'll give him that, but maybe he should've stuck to the pitch instead of straying into international affairs
.
And let's be real, if you're gonna use your platform to speak out against anti-Semitism, you gotta follow through with some solidarity
. Guardiola didn't exactly do that in this situation, and now his team is caught in the middle
.
I think it's time for people like Guardiola to take a step back and remember that they're football managers, not international diplomats
. They can still be passionate about social justice without causing offense or letting down their fans
