I cannot imagine why you believe that the kind of guy who will part with a significant amount of his earnings to traverse Europe to watch a football (Soccer to you guys across the pond) match would know or care little about the political situation in that country. If these guys had any consideration for the fairness of society they would not participate so willingly in a "sporting enterprise" that exploits their patronage, giving rise to the top football stars earning umpteen times more than say a brain surgeon. Apart from them being there to watch their team win the match, the second most important thing on their agenda will be the price of the beer!
