When glenn hoddles mother died there was a minute silence at the next tottenham match (yes sad for him but did it matter to the fans?) A minute silence for the beslan children (didnt even happen in this country and not even 1000 people died)
Yes I know its sad when these things happen, but people die, do we have to have a minutes silence for every tragety that happens around the world?
The only silence I think is relevent is 11 11 11, wht do we need silences for everything else?
A moment of silence to commemorate a single tragedy or event
that affects a great number of people is one thing… like you said… November 11th. I could even see something like that at a game if the death was someone who was significant to the sport. But the death of someones mother is a private loss… had nothing to do with the fans. If there was a minute of silence for every person who died nobody would ever say anything.
