Not always. Sad spectacle that we saw yesterday at the Camp Nou. Kicks, elbows, scorn, insults, provocations ... all featuring players from two clubs in the world, Real Madrid and Barcelona, \u200b\u200band before an audience of hundreds of millions of people around the world. Bad example, unfortunately, is not new. Weeks ago the statements set Mou-Preciado and other coaches who joined the cause, was also an embarrassment to what this sport, that originated in the late nineteenth century, when it began to enter the public schools English "was used to alienate students ill-advised activities like drinking and gambling, while that was discovered as a great way to encourage loyalty, self-sacrifice, mutual collaboration and subservience to the idea of \u200b\u200bteam. In schools such as Harrow, Eton, Charterhouse, Winchester, Westminster and Shrewsbury, organized parties as an essential part of the curriculum with special emphasis on order, discipline and team spirit. The sport began to appear on the schedules of schools and participation in football by the students acquired a mandatory (see Soccer Phenomenon Phenomena, pg. 242 et seq.).
Pope John Paul II, in an address to 150 representatives from UEFA to those received in the Vatican, expressed the importance of professional football as a unifying values. So said his message:
"Today , football has become a mass phenomenon that emphasizes the responsibility of those who involved in their organization and promote the expansion of the sport at both professional and amateur. They are called never to lose sight of the significant educational opportunities that football can develop. On the other hand, athletes, especially the most famous, should never forget that become models for the world of youth. It is therefore important that, in addition to developing their athletic skills, are careful to cultivate those human and spiritual qualities that will make them true positive examples to the public. I ask that all professional football, from organizers to communication professionals, join efforts to ensure that football never loses its genuine property of sporting activity, which is not submerged by other concerns, especially economic. The structures that make up the football industry are called to be a land of authentic humanity in which young people are encouraged to learn the great values \u200b\u200bof life and spread the great virtues that are the basis for a dignified human coexistence, and tolerance , respect for human dignity, peace and brotherhood. "
today I state José Ignacio Rivero, Chairman of Tatum and contributor to this blog, and we referred along to Eugenio de Andrés , the comment was the commentator needle (of the Viewers blog) regarding the post No, well no, not in any way he wrote himself José Ignacio about the incident meter. "
There
needle said: "It is not the same sport professional sport (in fact the latter is an oxymoron.) Professional sport is not the world of values \u200b\u200band benchmarks you speak of, is anyone interested , cunning and misuses. A world of manipulation, lies and betrayals. Anything goes as long as you do not ... caught! With his mind, take calculated risks. In the end, perhaps both the pitcher go to the source, or perhaps because of overconfidence, caught recently. But until then the current account has been swelling.
Perhaps our friend is right. Sport Learn born with a clear vocation: to be a transmission belt of sporting values \u200b\u200bfor use in any area of life. However, it seems that professional sports and athletes are two different things.
I have to think about it, but often professional sports, at least in football-are associated only with large sums of money, commissions, credit cards, glamor, luxury, performance, purchase of games ... and as I said the black Fontanarrosa, "the fan's love is the only amateur left in the game, now the center of a absolute marketing ", something that coincided Eduardo Galeano:" Professional football condemns what is futile and useless it is not profitable. The journalists speak less and less of the skills of the players and their increasingly contributions. The leaders, employers, contractors and other cutters cod occupy an increasing space in the footballing chronic. Before, the 'passes' is concerned the travel of the ball from one player to another, now, the "pass" refer more to the player's journey from one to another club or country to another. How celebrities are performing in relation to investment? Experts bombard us with the vocabulary of the times: the offer, purchase, option buying, selling, loaning, valuation, impairment.
A well-known football manager once said: "The fashion turned men's soccer players busy in their spare time playing football. Interviews, advertising, business, all contribute to this yupismo that is constantly alertness, more and more away from their professional duties. "
football allows us to have a good leisure time and socialize like tapas or drinks," but today can be considered the sport (football) a school of professional values? You say.
