Hillsborough, 1989

What happened was bloody terrible; I was affected by it at the time, and I have been disgusted by the way media and police dealt with the aftermath. I hope and pray that the families of the victims do get justice, for which they have waited far too long.
There were 3 other teams playing in semi finals that day, and I guess it could easily have been supporters from any of them that lost their lives, but for a simple twist of fate.
My point for Wrathdebate is; if it had been supporters from any of those other 3 clubs, how differently do you think the tragedy would have been dealt with by the world?
Genuinely, I am not trying to make any kind of point, just interested in the Wrathopinion.

This might be my most longest post ever to date.
