I know it really really doesn't matter and of course he is very welcome to an opinion

It is also nice that he has the strength of his convictions to express them publicly. He's a human.

But really - he's not thought this through. He is an icon of 'British' sport in a way that very few people are. His Britishness is a big part of his domestic popularity. He drapes himself in Union flags.

Would it not have been just a little wiser to keep his counsel? Perhaps he doesn't give a s**t.
