There has been a great deal of controversy in English football over cardboard fans. In one of the matches at Leeds United, a cardboard with the face of Osama bin Laden came up. A similar controversy erupted in the NRL last month. When the face of a serial killer was affixed to a cardboard during a match.
Leeds United are now facing a dilemma. Spectators are not allowed on the field due to the Coronavirus. So leagues around the world are keeping fake fans. So that the stadium is not completely empty. However, Leeds has apologized after this whole controversy. It is by no means appropriate to have a picture of Osama bin Laden, the world’s most dangerous and feared terrorist, among the viewers. So the leagues are forced to apologize.
Viewers watching the match on TV were outraged to see a picture of bin Laden, a former al-Qaeda operative, and responsible for the 9/11 attacks in the United States in 2011. However, now the club has promised that there will be no other catastrophic image among the 15,000 cardboard viewers. But on the other hand, people are questioning the safety of how the cardboard with bin Laden’s face finally got inside the field. Let me tell you that Osama bin Laden, the leader of the terrorist organization Al-Qaeda, was killed in 2011 in Abbottabad, Pakistan.
