Last weekend one of the acts occurred most shameful and despicable that we have seen in a football field in recent years. In the Vicente Calderon chants were heard mocking the death of Antonio Puerta, Spanish international and symbol of Seville that needs no further presentation. Although Richard Burton left for the history of a word phrase that strikes deeper than a sword, at least as far as football is concerned it is always preferable to remain in the verbal violence and I never physical. However, there are boundaries that must not be crossed.
As we denounce these pages in recent years in Spanish football has created a state of emergency in which the rules of coexistence and good education are suspended for as long as a football match. It has established the doctrine of anything goes, because, in large part on the connivance of those who are silent and look the other way. And this applies equally to the amateur who is resigned to putting up with two or three dumb-ass that there are a hundred seats to the owners and presidents of the clubs, which do little or nothing to reverse the anti-social environment that has taken football fields.
In (almost) everywhere baked beans. Valga an example: Riazor Stadium, the ultras of Sports, the Riazor Blues, not only fall on a weekend after another on the cheek to utter chants against Celtic and, by extension, the city of Vigo, but that once invented a song (which still can be heard from time to time to this day) which is to conduct the misfortune of two CELTINA: Quinocho, a club employee killed by stabbing during a robbery, and Alvelo player celestial suffered irreversible spinal cord injury. I myself sang it at the time, I must admit. The same is true in other arenas, such as if the songs on the legendary Johnny Madrid.
Mock the dead and is going from brown to dark. One thing is seriously insulting an opponent who is present and a much more serious one mock died. Because even though it is indecent to sing Christian That Portuguese son of a bitch is at least CR7 is able to get even scoring a hat-trick and so be he who laughs last. But Antonio Puerta is no longer with us. And who did this is your family, both carnal and Seville. Caress the pain with a cowardly and abominable song can cost no cost to the Neanderthals of the day.
I was not at the Calderon and I am confused by the many versions I've heard and read. What if there were four ragamuffin, which if dozens or even hundreds, if most of the public with their whistles silenced, if anyone found out ... just impossible to know the truth for those who were there. But what I can talk about is my experience.
I have seen how the police Riazor took my grade kids who were doing a joint, which was repeated during a season one game after another with all those who brought it not home made. My point: if you give cameras to catch a person liándose a joint in a crowd, what will make us believe they are not able to locate and identify a few dozen people who are all singing the same?
So on the one hand we have the responsibility of the clubs, despite having the security forces and the technology when it comes to truth, look away. Promise to seek out the guilty and all they do is let time pass for people to forget the issue. Hopefully, they'll think, is mounted on another stage fat and forget about me. But clubs are not the only culprits.
But where is the LFP in these cases? They want to control the football, but only that which brings them benefits, either in the form of notes or social position. The ugly, the worst side, want nothing. Wash hands. And for that they have invented the perfect excuse: If the referee is not reflected in the minutes ... In relation to the case at hand, I have heard journalists criticize the referee for not learning the songs. We're kidding, right? The referee has to be attentive to what happens flush of grass, the game,players, benches and little else. For the rest has to be other people. The control of what happens in the stands must deal with the local club and the LFP. As they decide who enters and who does not enter the stadium, as in the case of radio-blackmail, are not responsible for what happens inside?
Enough of hypocrisy and mediocrity. We must act now, because tomorrow will be late. It is necessary to tighten the rules and, above all, to be blunt when it comes to promoting compliance and even more punishment for those who do not comply. And with all, which may not always pay the same and are the usual squares. Which do, to pay it. Fans who do not behave, they are expelled. And the clubs that do not comply and enforce the rules, to be punished with the required hardness.
In this particular case, the speed with which Enrique Cerezo gave the face and apologized to the wounded is laudable, but with the passage of time, insufficient. The shame can only be repaired by introducing Sevilla, Puerta family including the heads of the guilty on a silver platter. That is to find those responsible and expelled from the club and the stadium. And if the law permits, making public their identities (name and membership number). The owners and responsible for the Atletico Madrid have the chance to take a step forward. Or they can look the other way and let them pass.
If no one decides to act, something similar will happen tomorrow in another stadium gravity increase spiral that is engulfing us. In this case, we will continue insisting on our complaint and revisit the same question to those responsible for turn: what have you done that does not happen again?
