While the FAI insists the game will proceed under police assurances, newly elected TD Daniel Ennis argues sport should not legitimize what he calls a “genocidal regime,” calling for a boycott and urging officials to intervene. Fellow TD Ruth Coppinger goes further, advocating for preemptive action like worker strikes, likening the situation to past anti-apartheid protests, and insists the government and FAI—not fans—must bear responsibility. With players caught in the crossfire and attendance uncertain, the match remains a flashpoint for national conscience. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
