"BN Sport" commentator Issam El Shawali chose to send a special message before the start of the Manchester City match and his guest Manchester United in the top 28 matches of the English Premier League.

In light of the race to send messages related to the Russian-Ukrainian crisis in various stadiums, Shawali criticized double standards in dealing with similar issues.

"The lame balance allows what they like and prevents what they hate," said the Tunisian commentator.

In reference to the manifestations of support for Ukraine, which is witnessing most of the European matches in the current period, at a time when the expression of any political position in the past was a justification for imposing sanctions on its owner because of the principle of "not mixing sports with politics", which was a slogan of the International Football Association (FIFA).

The lame scale allows for what they crave and forbids what they hate.

Shawali saluted the Scottish Celtic fans who were famous for expressing their support for the Palestinian cause and raising the flags of Palestine on more than one occasion.

The former Egyptian football star and analyst for "BN Sport" channels, Mohamed Aboutrika, had earlier criticized double standards in dealing with political issues, after FIFA announced the suspension of the participation of Russian clubs and teams in all sports competitions due to the war in Ukraine.

@fifacom_ar The decision to prevent Russian clubs and teams from participating in all tournaments must be accompanied by a ban on the participation of clubs and teams affiliated with the Zionist entity, because it is occupied and has been killing children and women in Palestine for years, but you used double standards.

Abu Trika said - in a tweet via Twitter - "The decision to prevent Russian clubs and teams from participating in all tournaments must be accompanied by preventing the participation of clubs and teams affiliated with the Zionist entity, because it has been occupied and has been killing children and women in Palestine for years, but you use double standards."

More than a week ago, Russia launched a war against Ukraine, and the crisis caused the displacement of large numbers of civilians to neighboring countries, and sports federations imposed various sanctions on Russian sports federations, and prevented Russian athletes from participating in various competitions.
