Because it’s absolutely essential that he’s present for the match, right?

Asking people to give up their lives, hobbies, and anything that brings them joy when they go into politics isn’t the way to get quality candidates.

No one’s saying he can’t go to the game. He just can’t take free expensive tickets as political favors or have enhanced security on the government’s dime and not be called the fuck out about it. He can buy his own tickets and hire his own bodyguards if he wants to, he’s a big boy.

Not going to a football match doesn’t mean you have to give up everything that makes you happy.

If that’s literally the only thing that’d make him happy, he’s got much bigger problems in life.

A quality candidate would be a person that wasn’t a football loony.

He’s an Arsenal fan. Asking him not to watch them play is just unrealistic.
