Pussy Riot Pitch Invasion

[Gutter Boy]

I usually find pitch invasions really passé. But how amazing was that one during the final yesterday.

3 women who have recently spent 2 years each in prison for peaceful protests against the facist regime of Putin, have gone and likely got themselves sent back to the modern Gulags camps, simply campaigning for free speech

Very brave and awesome activism.

From any movies I've seen of women's prisons they'll love and are obviously desperately trying to get back.

Hence the name pussy riot.

They were just pure attention seekers ! They have no right to disrupt the freedom of millions of people who just wanted to enjoy a good football match. It was disappointing the camera focused on them too long. This was probably the only setback in this World Cup which had been perfect apart from this incident. The Croation player was right to get angry as they were losing the match and these idiots disrupted the match further.

Some women do really enjoy getting the attention of men either by wearing sexy clothes or doing something stupid. I still remember an European qualifying match being shown live on TV when a nude woman came running onto the field and the camera kept focusing on her and the police trying to catch her. It was really embarassing ! Just imagine how many children would have watched it live around the world ! It was like soft porn being shown live for everyone !

You're seriously equating protesting for freedom of speech and expression to the freedom to watch a fudging football game without interruptions???

I never watched game so didn't see incident, I'm no admirer of Loveren but I think anyone running on the pitch at any sporting event deserves what ever they get.

Amen to that.

You haven't a clue what you are talking about.

It has nothing to do with so called freedom of speech. They are just attention-seeking idiots. And it is not a normal football game but a historic World Cup final which will be remembered in record books forever.

Whether they are attention-seeking or not, do you think they have a valid point?

It wasn't historic at all. It was one of the most predictable, least closely-contested finals in a while. The World Cup was pretty good, the final was meh. What will be remembered is that for two World Cups in a row FIFA were bribed into hosting the tournament in countries with terrible human rights records. Something that (hopefully once the bribes all stop) people will look back on an wonder how we ever allowed that to happen.

 

[Baleforce]

indeed, it was arguably the most interesting thing to happen in the final, it's an important message that people inside Russia are prepared to protest the oligarchy, the US president certainly isn't

Turn a blind eye to the facists? Like the world did at the 1936 Olympics and other things at the time. This is England by the way:
