My views as to politics and sports brings me to a point of dishonest practices where some players could be favoured more than others as per figuring in a game, where referees seems to give the home base team a chance to lead, where players of clubs origin are rationed to have more playing time as opposed to others despite qualifications and fitness.
The clear example of your point is the English Premier league where one or two English players must be in the starting eleven. The view is to have the countries players having more minutes in competitive club football. Football has been used to hault even wars in the past. We can't take politics outta football and sport but it should be reduce to the barest minimum, so as not to take away the fun
