A questionable banner from Standard Liege supporters triggers controversy
by Emanuele Bonini
What's wrong with the human being? We are supposed to have intelligence, and intelligence is supposed to be what makes man different from all the other living species. Unfortunately it seems humanity got its pick of evolution, starting to come back straight forward to the origins and soccer proves that. Please, folks, remember it's soccer after all. On the contrary, soccer is always lived in the wrong formula: hate, riots, violence. So it happened in Liege a very large number of people had the brilliant idea of preparing a big banner against a former player. It doesn't matter who he is, since it's the message to be the real problem: Jason Voorhees (do you remember the Friday the 13th saga?) holding the tailed head of the football player, considered a traitor after having moved from Standard Liege to Anderlecht. "Red or dead", think (think?) Standard supporters, forgetting football players - like every worker and like every professional - can change workplace, since it is their own right. Despite that, the decision taken by some people in Liege is not the appropriate at all and in Belgium controversy triggered immediately after the match. Since when soccer is a death game? No way, something is wrong with the human being. What about intelligence? Today, perhaps, this word only means "secret services". Just for general information, Anderlecht was beaten 2-0 in Liege. But the impression is real winner was stupidity.
