I was thinking about prestige-alan in recent days because of what Gary Lineker said about the government on twitter, if prestige-alan was real, he would have nothing to say, just small talk. I think because professional football players earn a lot of money from a young age, they become a little bit out of touch with the real world. They don't really understand how the world works.
In 1930s Germany, the Gestapo would force their way into people's houses and knock out people's teeth with knuckle dusters because they kept books written by Jews on their book shelves. They gathered the most ruthless people in Germany and gave them SS positions. Then they would throw 'Zyklon b' poison gas grenades into fake showers full of prisoners to kill them all. If you compared natzi Germany to a country that is trying to be responsible about immigration control then you have lost touch with the real world.
A similar thing happened at the world cup, they went to a country where most people think it is wrong to be gay and it is also illegal to promote gay rights. The football players were trying to make gestures that promote gay rights, they didn't realise they were actually disrespecting another nation's laws, customs and culture. The way they think isn't universal, some nations think it is wrong to be openly gay in public and when you visit their country it is better to respect their ways.
I honestly believe some pro football players think all homeless people are lazy, they don't know there are people with full time jobs living in cars and abandoned buildings because they can't afford the local rent. Those people are being told there is no social housing available for them because of a shortage. I believe some professional football players don't know that because they're always getting a lot of money, even from their teenage years.
