Seems like somebody really hates Juve. (IMG:

I don't think it was unsportsmanlike. It wasn't against Napoli, it was to take a stand against these ridiculous decisions.
I'm not saying you're wrong or I'm right, but we just clearly see it differently.
Lol I also don't really have anything specifically against Juventus.
But I would say that I believe anyone who is in a position of power (or in Juventus' case; has held dominance... over the league since inception).
They especially... should hold themselves accountable to codes of conduct and morality. In this case; sportsmanship. Not give the public reason to scrutinize and lambaste them for a lack of ethics.
I'm not sure I understand why you view it as a ridiculous decision tbh. If the rumors in the media are true that is, and they were barred from making the trip (given the current pandemic). I definitely think it should require them to act outside of their regular purview, and adopt compassion.
I may be thinking too much into it, but I really do believe while Juventus were within their right to say what they said... It was unnecessary and showed a lack of care or consideration for their opponent and their current challenges.
But it's whatever... I really do hope the FIGC gets their sh1t together though. Cuz the season has only just begun and it's already getting messy. I won't be surprised if the entire league gets postponed due to a lack of foresight in terms of procedures & processes for operating during a pandemic.
Failure to adhere to health guidelines or just common sense could make it bad for everyone. They've already (foolishly) decided to cutback on required testing of players for covid (to now currently just 48 hours prior to match days).
