In one of the stories in the book Two tablesand Writer Love Towles Tell the story of a couple to share a concert in Carnegie Hall. It seems that the ideal evasion plan, but the husband meets an unexpected obstacle: the old man sitting next to him records all procedures. So, the man is only able to focus his attention on the elderly, on those old hands with an illegal recording device at every concert. The man lost unforgettable measures at all, lost the longest registered applause ever in the New York symbolic room. The irritation of his neighbor on his chair simply prevents him from enjoying music.
I remembered this story when a few days ago Celta lost 0-2 in Palados in front of Betis After the second goal, I launched the mobile phone on the table. “To take the winds (entertainment with a decrease in totalitarianism), I stop seeing this pantomima (entertainment with amino activity),” I told my friends that I ate. They kept a comfortable conversation, and my friend enthusiastically showed pictures of the dog I just adopted, but I did not think but we were losing 0-2 in the 22nd minute of the game. “0-2, how we will lose 0-2, but with what we left mental, what is this defense.” Of course, I lost the return of Celta-the game ended 3-2, and I immersed in the two cholecks, as I missed my friends’ conversation.
Do we take football seriously? Should we wonder about the passion that causes fanatics (I) to stop talking to their friends during a meal, a passion that generates discussions, frustrations and even increasing inscriptions in the civil registry for children called Thiago, Keylor or Kylian? Should we think at least about the possibility that football is just a game and nothing more than a game?
Of course not, because it is not. There are frightening weeks to enter your stadium that becomes similar revelation to reach Santiago Cathedral After a atonement path. Football cannot be just a game because it is a conditioner, it is a community psychology room. I am not exaggerating. In celebration with a goal, divorce is torn, discussions, calamities, traffic jams, excellence, emails, bills, diseases, monotony and routine.
But it is true that football in recent years has drank excessive seriousness. She was suspended a few days ago In the wonderful festival Words and footballIt is organized by the Sports Club Foundation. Football was a serious and strict issue of the state. The broadcasters narrated the goals as the person who reads a sermon; Now there is screaming, DisplayCarnival tone, noise. However, however, another layer of current football is permeated: everything is discussed, everything is explained, and everything is reviewed. The narration that surrounds the game in the press rooms and the media perpetuates this tone. Everything is historical, everything is not fair, everything is brutal, everything is severe, everything is amazing, everything is exciting, everything is controversial, everything incredible, everything is not important, everything is the maximum, everything is little. Everything is the background noise.
Football entered one of those moments in which it is clear that something should change to contain their excesses, but no one does anything to change. We, fans, will not do anything because taking football with lightness will contradict the emotional component that keeps us together. I don’t know, it does not need to be anesthetized football, it will be enough to reduce it with a little humor.
