This is fantastic! Great initiative to use leading up to the World Cup - get some powerful role model soccer players around it, get it into schools and education structure curriculum, etc.
A few questions:
1. How do men respond when they get a red card? I imagine some could take it very hard, and potentially get violent, especially within an established relationship.
2. I can imagine only a few red cards would not catch on, but with many red cards all over, it becomes cool and trendy? What were the key factors in making this initiative viral?
2. Is there any grassroots education that uses the red card? Can you share materials with me?
