Politics and sports?
With very few years of life politics was something I hated, it seemed unfair that a person had the power to choose over all that is the best environment or simply to decide a common environment. Able within my ignorance with a few years of life, I really preferred not to understand and be happy. With the passage of time I was maturing (although you do not believe it) coming to understand more things and things less about the matter, but I could not turn a blind eye, my environment was mutating and I was demonstrating how politics could be something so dirty that will work with a single end, the pursuit of power.
With the passage of time, sport has been the reason for the purest feelings of the human being, which is why it is an attractive weapon to attract public or followers. When we talk about football there is nothing bigger for each country than the national team which are not more than a very select group of players chosen to represent millions of people and that for 90 minutes we are all the same supporting the same flag. Football is something beautiful that generates many feelings and for those of us who were in a field, we know what that means and how it is used around the world as a tool for human improvement and even as a social catalyst to many problems of our day. day.
Why this post
Many will wonder why I decided to write about this and it is something very simple to explain. Yesterday in the afternoon a friendly match of the national team was played (the vinotinto = Venezuela) in which they faced the Argentina of Messi. Two selections with two very different stories, the first of these has been working for some time from the hand of Dudamel, not only with the older if not with the lower categories, to achieve the dream of all Venezuelans foot ball lovers which would be to dispute a world championship.
While on the other side was Argentina, who came out of a process in which he did not have the best results and looked for another game identity, where he could reflect that potential footballer who has the hand of the best players that he has watered in the best leagues of the world. It was the clash of two realities that would end in a match to frame. The party had many emotions and especially a very good game by the Venezuelan team, who would end up giving a 3-1 to Messi's Argentina, who in his return was contained by Vinotinto. The selection generated game and opportunities that were used by the strikers who capitalized on the opportunities in the best way, here below I will leave the summary of the game on video.
Everything was laughter and joy, we felt in the clouds and for the first time I saw how the years work paid off when seeing such performance of the national team but as expected not everything could be perfect when in the post-match press conference DT de Venezuela (Dudamel) made his position available as coach of the national team. Dudamel's motivations were very clear, last week he had received in Spain the ambassador of Venezuela in Spain which was appointed by Guaido that after this visit politicized the selection. It should be noted that on another occasion Maduro had also approached the national team with the aim of using it as a political tool.
This matter tired Dudamel who is in the midst of a bidding of interests, who seek to use a medium that should be free of all political dye as it is sport, in this case, football. It is sad to see that nothing is saved when it comes to politics, a selection that brings joy to a country and distracts us for 90 minutes from a reality that tires and that torments us every day.
Mix politics with sports?
It is no secret to anyone that sponsorships in the sports world are important, that those who support teams or athletes will fill their mouths screaming how good they are supporting and even helping athletes, it is normal but when you want to do politics and dictate Some position regarding preferences, we are wrong. The sport is something that was invented to promote not only a healthy lifestyle but the joy and good values that revolve around the practice. As I said before is a very small space in our lives that will make us forget all the bad and concentrate a moment on enjoyment.
When the policy enters this field, everything changes. Mix politics with sports will never be a good thing, the most fundamental lists whose motto is "if they are not in favor, are against" could not tolerate someone next to them who shares the same shirt of the selection and think differently, since that is the war they intend to forge. Very sad this, the policy is dirty and will use all possible means to achieve its objectives, but we can not allow this because "what once united football, that politics does not separate it". I hope you liked the topic, I would like to read your comments and know the opinions about it.
