Sit-in footballers for the victims in the Aegean

Friday 29 January, a special protest took place during the football match between the AEL and Acharnaikoy for the 2nd Division in the city of Larissa. Players of both teams sat on the grass with the hiss of kickoff, as well as the rest of the technical staff.

Athletes did this symbolic gesture to protest and denounce the relaxed European Union policy vis-à-vis refugees arriving from the Aegean Sea, and as a tribute to those who lost their lives in trying to reach Greek shores. The protest lasted for the first two minutes of the game.

    Although I see so 5astera Disagree on this stance for several reasons.
    The main thing is that the 2 minutes in honor of the refugees is the most painful reaction in relation to the visibility they achieved through it, for the purported sensitivity., unwittingly or not, such reactions are causing some sort of appeasement and xefeygwntas during much stuff. The two minute match for each case ;eg 1 minute as a tribute to those who lost their lives and another minute for the lax reaction of Europe ; (Perhaps the added delays. lol). The fundraiser would have a greater positive effect . An amazing reaction would be for 2 big teams to go (having money and visibility) to play a game in Syria,in Kana likely upright or easily diamorfwnmeno Stadium with wide television coverage. Το προηγόυμενο βίντεο με τα πλάνα απο ”τετράπτερο” της κατεστραμένης Συρίας με συγκλόνισε και προς αυτό η ιδέα.

    In between, from these so-called refugees ,not even 1% are Syrians. The rest is immigrants from where to Yes and that to Yes, they found opportunity to cross Europe with the excuse of Syria. The Syrians come civilized. You say you were in boats like sardines if bombardizan or kleiname will air and ferry;
