Kind of scared for the Ireland vs India t20is…
So I live in Ireland, and I guess since yesterday there has been huge unrest in Belfast and Dublin over an incident that happened yesterday afternoon in Belfast.
I won’t delve into what happened exactly (you guys can look it up though), but I guess the protests and unrest is mainly directed towards the population of immigrants. Now I’m a bit worried that since the bilaterales are in the same area as where the incident happened and where people are currently protesting, it could cause some unsafe conditions for players, but moreso for the spectators watching.
A similar incident occurred I think 2 yrs ago, where a crime was used as an excuse to set the whole city of Dublin on fire and terrorise those not native to Ireland. And I’m sure yall are aware of all those unprovoked and disturbing attacks that happened on Indian students and citizens just a year ago.
I guess I’m kind of worried about the fact that the matches are going to be held just 2 weeks after the incident, and if it’s anything like last time the unrest wouldn’t have died down that much. I just don’t want something big to happen where people get hurt you know, especially since innocent people will get involved and then it would be a nationwide issue etc.
Or maybe I’m just worrying too much
