To all
Since the Hoddle incident began I have been wrestling with
my thought and views and have come to a few questions.
Is the the question not one of examining religious belief
but of Relevancy of questioning?
The idea of Karma is in perspective no more strange than
the belief that wine turns into the blood of Christ, or the
need to kill animals in a certain way. Karma is probably
older than Christian belief. Should the belief be in
question or the relevancy of the question Hoddle was asked
and its answer?
The press knew about Eileen Drewery from previous stories
on Hoddle and England Football Team, they knew that Hoddle
used a faith healer of some sort. It is possible that if
they asked Hoddle about disabled people that they might
get a provacative answer, one that would sell papers. So
what were the conditions under which he was asked about
disabled people and why was he asked. His job is to manage
a football team, not anything to do with disabled people.
I would not ask Glenn Hoddle for his opinion and I stress
OPINION not fact on this matter any more than I would ask
Tony Blair about whether he thought it would rain tomorrow,
he does not know, I should ask a person skilled I
monitoring weather systems for that. Howver if anyone is
asked for their opinion isn't naive to think (1 that they
won't give it? & (2 that their opinion will always fall
into line with your own?
While I agree that the issue should be pursued I am in two
minds as two how. You cannot make las against belief. Half
of me says we should go after Hoddle, the other half, the
press. Basically I am asking the following-
If disabled people have nothing to do with football why was
Hoodle asked about disability what is the relevancy of this
line of questioning, other than to sell newspapers?
