Why Leeds United risk ‘national embarrassment’ over football’s return

LEEDS United chief executive Angus Kinnear (The Yorkshire Post, May 23) claims that it would be a “national embarrassment” if England’s top two divisions could not complete their seasons.

Others say that “the integrity of the competition” means that the leagues must be completed.

What utter self-serving nonsense. We are in the middle of a dangerous life-threatening worldwide health pandemic and still don’t know enough to predict anything for certain.

Those so determined to re-start football, despite all the dangers at this stage, will bear a huge responsibility if even one death occurs due to such actions being taken. Far better and safer to simply abort the 2019/20 season and then start again from scratch once it is safe to do so.

League completions are an utter irrelevance at the moment.

COULD sport get any uglier? Daily we read of the complete lack of management so far
as resolutions required to 
restore some order to the suspended seasons of football and rugby.

This is simply because self-interest and greed rule over all. And why sports-mad kids like me became indifferent much later in life.
