In the World Cup, the stupid decisions of the non-closing stand-off, the one that indicates the closure of the football games, on the side of the permit to continue training, take a gap. If there was a VAR in the world for examining wrong decisions, he would eliminate that hallucination and send its decisioners suspended until further notice.
The players will continue to meet, practice, play, only we will not see it, and the league will slowly collapse. It is a goal in the hand, five meters offside while the scorer ties the goalkeeper’s hands. The people of Israel sat at home, in full closure, watching a league of English, Dutch, French, Spanish, Turkish. But not that of Khalministan.
But leave the decision makers aside for a moment. If there is one real red flag that this horseshoe reveals, it is the flag of indifference. The really sad story is the silence of the team owners, the coaches, the players, and above all the crowd. Ultrasound of laxity and relinquishment.
If there are those who think that this decision will defeat the corona and vaccinate the people of Israel forever, their right to think like that and their right to remain silent. I’m talking about those who are boiling with rage and freezing in silence. Know that it is dumb, and accept the judgment in silence.
There are two games tonight. Start them in a minute of silence. Put on black ribbons. 9 months from the outbreak of the corona, the football pitches, near the shopping and wedding and flight centers, were an island of relative health. When there were those who got infected, the chain was stopped, and when necessary games were canceled. No one will die, God forbid, if they continue to play here. But if they continue to succumb to such decisions, who will die will be football.
Football has all the conditions to continue to get an exception. It is different from the theater and cinema halls, and from the giant performances. It is possible to play without an audience, while maintaining safety rules that are not maintained and can not be maintained in any other public arena, with maximum supervision and quick and immediate detection of faults. The unbearable ease of closing, is more than any prospect of indifference on the part of those who had to come up to this pitch as if it were for them the decisive game of relegation.
There are more than 24 hours left to prove that there is still air in the ball. Going madly to the field, fighting, prostrating, making a sound. Game of the season begins now.
