READER LETTER | Pirates are cowards for hiding behind Fifa: I am a die-hard supporter of Orlando Pirates, but I believe that the club has taken a very conservative legalistic, evasive and cowardly stance on the call for it to support the global boycott…
Instead of simply saying it does support the boycott initiated and supported by various progressive and radical civil, social, political, cultural and faith-based organisations in the world, including in SA, the club hides behind the excuse that there is no such boycott by Fifa.
Since when did the conscience of individuals and organisations depend on the stance of governments or international bodies only? This game is not a Fifa-sanctioned game which obliges Pirates to honour.Mphutlane wa Bofelo, Centurion
