You can't blame the management for personal choices. If you sign a player who is agnostic, but then becomes a Muslim and fasts during Ramadan, then that is what you call a personal choice. Whether or not the management thought about his religion before buying him is absurd anyway, because if they did, then they would be deemed as bigots for profiling players based on some aspect about them. If they wouldn't sign a Muslim player because he fasts, then we'd have all of the Arab world burning Juventus flags. We wouldn't want that.
So what it is is a no-win situation. It is up to the player to act responsibly as a professional.
If the team had to fast because of a religion, I wouldn't support that team, because it's fucking nonsense. Sport and religion should be separated, just like church and state. If somebody wants to create a team full of Muslim fasters, than so be it, but that's not Juventus.
So no, I'm more angry at Sissoko for this because it is just him. You can make excuses for him all you want, saying that there are other capable players for the position, but lets be honest here -- you're talking nonsense. It's basically like saying I'm going to drink and drive tonight, just because if I get too drunk, I'll have somebody with me who is sober. Or think about it if those replacements become injured.
The problem is this is a team sport and you let down the team if you don't take care of yourself. Leave the garbage religious bullshit out of football. If you can't, then make sure people know about it and take a leave of absence and a pay cut.
Yes, I can.
If not, then you provide grounds for clubs discriminating against Muslim players.
Perhaps all football clubs shouldn't purchase Muslim players because of this nonsense fasting.

Momo needs to eat during Ramadan. Look, Islam's a shitty religion. It's really, really shitty. It's one of the worst I've ever seen. I will not hide and say I think it's just another religion. No, it's really poor. Way worse than christianity. You'd have to be a moron to be a muslim.
That said though, it is not the reason why Momo should eat during Ramadan. Even if it was sensible, which it is not, it would be unhealthy. Surely Islam does not require Momo to compromise his health?

It's funny how the Muslims claim that the clubs are responsible for buying a Muslim player who fasts, yet if they discriminate against a Muslim player because of their beliefs, they'll raise hell and start burning flags and discriminating themselves.
So in actuality, they try to create false flag attacks for the purpose of pity-partying.

It can be construed as discrimination considering the Muslim's beliefs are attacked. Once you associate fasting with Muslims, you start figuring out which players are Muslims or not, then you check them off the list. That is indeed discrimination.
But like I said, I find it unacceptable if they don't take pay cuts or register for a leave of absence. Clubs can't waste time dealing with this BS.
