Rejected petition Postpone all football games until lockdown restrictions have been lifted

Stop all professional football games and matches until lockdown has been completely eased.

More details

After what happened with rangers fans in Glasgow, its become very clear that football influences the actions of its fans in a way that is detrimental to public health. This is not the 1st time football fans have broken restrictions to show support to their teams, and if normal people can't even see any groups larger than 4, why are footballers allowed to play in larger teams and interact with teams from other areas? Football is not an essential service and shouldn't be treated as such
