What do you see in the photo? Where is this taken, what do you think is happening, what do you think the story might be?
This story is a follow up from the assembly last week.
What was the assembly last week about?
Last week we talked about a football match at Elland Rd where Muslim players were booed as the game was stopped for 78 seconds so that Muslim players who were celebrating Ramadan could break their fast. There were different responses to that behaviour and we talked about what we say at our school to respect different religions.
Last weekend fans went to watch Leeds United play Norwich at Elland Rd and again the game was stopped at sunset to respect those celebrating Ramadan so they could break their fast. But this time something different happened in the crowd.
What do you think happened this time?
This time when Muslim players broke their fast and the game was stopped, the crowd cheered and applauded.
Why do you think that happened?
Leeds manager Daniel Farke said, "Football shows how people from different passports, cultures and religions can unite behind one goal." He said the cheering was a perfect message. "Football is a perfect example of how the world should be united. The world can learn from how football brings people together from different cultures."
What does he mean by that?
Why is the cheering a perfect message?
Daniel talked about last week and said, "It was not a piece of how we should live together as human beings."
How should we live together as human beings?
Last week the response from Daniel Farke when fans booed was very different. Last week Daniel said, "I was focused on the game. Disappointed with some fans and we learn from it."
Compare Daniel's responses over the last two weeks; what do you notice, why do you think he has changed his response?
It's interesting that fans booed last week and cheered this week. How can that happen?
Perhaps there were different fans at this game - do you think that is the reason?
If someone has racist ideas, can those ideas change? How can they change? Can they change in 7 days?
What can we learn from Leeds fans and this story?
What can we learn about football?
Why is this about No Outsiders?
Which British Value is this about?
