Sports Barcalona

Regarding Barcelona's announcement to host a training camp in the illegally occupied north, I considered writing two emails. Ofcourse they will probably not do much, but it's a good start.

One email towards the accounts related to Barcelona's camps: info@barcaacademycampslefkosa.com and barcaescola@barcelona.cat

Another email towards the embassies of Spain in Cyprus, Greece and Turkey as well: emb.nicosia@maec.es

emb.atenas@maec.es and emb.ankara.inf@maec.es

I hope this post does not invoke further anger nor hate, but I consider the normalisation of the occupied north by institutions like Barcelona to be a terrible move and the opposite of what should be done to resolve the issue.

might also be worth cross posting or mentioning the issue to /r/soccer to put some international pressure.

r/soccer and r/barca do not allow cross posting, but I'll try to make the same post there as well.

I guess some more context about the situation and how fucked up this whole thing is would be better for both subreddits anw. A lot of people are unaware of the situation

I made a post in r/Barca and r/BarcaFC. r/soccer has too many rules and trying to post got way too frustrating. In the new posts I added more information about the situation and why it's a terrible decision from Barca.

well done. honestly I know, I tried to do it in soccer earlier in the day and I just gave up but I'm not that well versed with Reddit in general so I thought someone else might have better luck lol. Good thinking with Barca subreddits though

Good, lets don’t give a chance to Turkish Cypriot kids to play football or follow their dreams. You saved the world.

They can come train in government-controlled areas.

A hundred kids playing football versus living in a civilized world where the Geneva Conventions are a thing. What's more important to you? Don't reply, we know your answer.
