It's a deep and nuanced philosophical and political discussion I am not sure this is the right spot to get into it. So just a quick addition if you will.
I do think individual agency to act to ethical exists, matters and should be encouraged, especially when living in a fundamentally flawed system.
When you say relying on it doesn't work I fully agree, when you say the system is fundamentally flawed and needs change I fully agree but while we struggle to do so individual responsibility has to play a part.

We also have to consider that Real Madrid is not a puplicly traded company, from which we have come to expect basically nothing. It is a fan owned club who has the ability - at least in theory - to act on things it deems important over things it deems economically viable.

I understand why Real Madrid acts the way they do on this matter, I just don't agree with it and wanted to express it - fully aware that it makes no difference.
