[Politics] Stop Faroe Islands petition to Fifa and Uefa

[Brovion]

This is a highly laudable attempt to put pressure on the Faroes to stop the wanton slaughter of seaborn mammals, be they pilot whales or dolphins. These creatures are certainly not fish and the mass cruelty involved is despicable....
But.... it has got a snowballs chance in hell of succeeding. Fifa will not get involved in such matters and many will argue that they should not. No ,football and sport are separate from such things.
There has to be a better way to pressure them.

Let's invade them and force our cultural values on them. Surely even the Americans can win that war.

I hear the Argentines feed beefburgers to swans and you can't get away from street vendors selling 'spine in a focaccia' in Italy. Get 'em banned for next year. And the Belgians for putting mayo on chips, ****ing animals.

If dolphins are so intelligent why haven't they learnt how to make fire yet?

They've been around longer than humans.

Indeed, they should have invented the wheel by now too.

On the other hand, Scotland might just qualify for a tournament.

Along with the hosts they qualify automatically as a result of plans to reintroduce the lynx to the highlands, 'cause that's how things work.

Dolphins are twats.

Think they won last week

local derby with the shetlands ?

Indeed, they should have invented the wheel by now too.

Harsh, neither the wheel, nor for that matter fire, work in water! Perhaps they'd already figured that out.
