I thought this was an interestingly considered take on the state of the game / players.

It is interesting but does appear cynical and lacking in nuance.
It’s perfectly possible that Marcus Rashford was only interested in cash/profile when using his game to get the government to u-turn but isn’t it at least as possible that, given his upbringing, he did advocate for an issue with personal resonance and any resulting increase in profile was a byproduct rather than the driver?
Similarly with Tyrone Mings calling out Patel’s racism, good on him if he monetised that.
Agreed, but I'd suggest any tournament for which 6000+ migrant workers died isn't worthy of having you watch it. I love footy and this is one of the few times I get to watch it on telly for free, but I don't intend to watch a second. Maybe not much of a statement, but it's what I can do.
