Rejected petition Launch an investigation into the spike in cardiac episodes in footballers in UK

Following on from an alarming increase in cardiac episodes amongst FIFA registered footballers, we demand an investigation into why these are occurring and how many of these were vaccinated against COVID-19.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

Petitions must call for a specific action that the UK Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.

The health and safety of football players is a matter for their managers and coaches, not the Government or Parliament.

We also couldn't open a petition that made unsubstantiated implications that ill health of footballers was the result of vaccination against Covid-19.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
