If you were watching yesterday’s India-Australia World Cup final match on television, you would not have seen an Australian man invade the field. He wore a t-shirt with two pro-Palestine messages on it: “stop bombing Palestine” and “free Palestine”.
Despite the blanket coverage of the match by a battery of cameras of all kinds, including drones, the incident did not make it to the live telecast. Commentators pretended not to have seen it, because they did not utter a word. No footage of the incident was shown at any time during the match.
