Barcelona

Submitted by George Callaghan…
In 2017 the people of Catalonia voted to break away from the Kingdom of Spain. This was the second such referendum in which a majority of the people there voted for separation. There was also an election in which the separatist parties commanded a clear majority. The mandate is indisputable.

We are living through times of widespread poverty, war, and immigration. There are many more people in the world who can’t even afford to buy a football than there are people who can afford to pay 200 Euros to attend a Premier League match, or 400 Euros a year to watch it on TV. Football is one of life’s great teachers. It is one of life’s great inspirations. But the current business model of football ignores so much of the world.
