Whiney interviews won’t change anything. But imagine all teams collectively boycotting an entire matchday. They just refuse to play. This would do huge damage to the leagues, UEFA, FIFA etc. And the clubs or associations can’t just punish everyone. They rely on the players. Don’t the players even have a union? So why is nothing like that happening? The only reason I can think of is that the pain isn’t strong enough yet to actually act.
Protest? The optics of multi millionaires protesting while some people can’t afford to eat in the same country would be insane.
