This Doesn't Do Much For The Image Of Professional Footballers

Pithy and damning tweet from Ewan MacKenna here.

Talking with George Galloway who through PFA wrote to every player in England, hoping to raise money for pitch in Gaza. £0.00 was donated.

We're not sure if there exists a strong political leaning towards Zionism among professional footballers in England or whether its just a chronic indifference and apathy, but the apparent failure to raise a single cent doesn't say much.

George Galloway's efforts to get professional footballers to contribute to the construction of a new pitch in Gaza came in the wake the destruction of Palestine Stadium, the former home of the Palestinian national football team, in a bombing raid in November 2012.
