The difference is ownership of the sport. That's like having someone breaking into your home and the solution being to go live in the forest.
Think he means staying at home as in boycotting the games.
Which unfortunately, doesn't work... Noone goes to football games here anymore, there are literally (I'm not making this up) hundreds of people at first division games, including those (or especially those) of the biggest club, Dinamo Zagreb.
Noone else is allowed to win, the refs are pushing them in case they falter, and people are frustrated after 10+ years of this crap.
Here's an example of Croatian league refereeing, so maybe you get a better insight into why people are furious with the current FA and Dinamo leadership.
You don't have to watch the whole thing, just check out the first example (the guys in yellow were ahead 1-0, Dinamo is in blue shirts, an absolutely disgraceful decision - with intent 100% IMO - gets Dinamo a penalty and a red card to the other team).

I don't know how to explain this in short, so I'll just ask you to believe me and the other Croatian boys can confirm...
The level of corruption in Croatian football is sky high, the person in charge of Dinamo and the FA is friends with judges and inspectors, make birthday parties for our president...
It's like something from a bad 1980s movie about Romania and Causescu.
