Is boxing still going ahead? All women's card with arguably the biggest female fight happening. They might struggle to get that one cancelled.

It's frankly ridiculous. Most people are measured enough to not really feel a sense of grief for someone they've never actually met. To cancel all sport or entertainment events is just moronic. Not all of us are blue-rinsed royalists drowning in a sea of tears.

That's it now. Terrestrial telly is out of bounds for a couple of weeks because an old lady of 96 has died. Sad for her family but if anyone out there that has never met her claims they're grieving? Sorry, they're not. It's just mass hysteria. Saw the same thing with Diana but that was far more tragic.

If Arnold Schwarzenegger died I'd be hella upset, I've never met him.

The queen is a bigger deal than my man Arnold, for people around the world.

Debatable, could have just done a minute’s silence at games?

You get that when some z list celebrities die.

Not sure what the problem is. It’s been known for years stuff like this will happen

Was thinking about it!

I notice horse racing, cricket and golf are allowed to carry on this weekend but no football which doesn't seem to make sense.

Would you be sobbing? Inconsolable? Unable to move on? No, I didn't think so. You'd be a little upset as many of us would be if one of our own personal childhood heroes died. I would if anything happened to Gazza but you know what? I'd go about my day and wouldn't expect the world to stop. It's not real grief. Real grief is felt when someone actually in your life dies and that's no more potent than a wife, husband, son or daughter. Not someone you've never met that makes no discernible difference to your life.

It's the forced grieving I take issue with. Every sporting event, every channel, everything stops. It's just absurd.
