RE: Heysel, 37 anni dopo [#steemexclusive - #multilanguage]
I've been to 2 away matches this season and neither were places that I would take my children. Pre-lockdown, I wouldn't have hesitated to take them to an away match but since lockdown ended, things are different again.
It' s very sad to read these words. In Italy, but I would say also in the rest of Europe, England has always been seen in recent years as a model for its fight against violent supporters and to know that something is deteriorating in this sense is not a good signal for the whole football world.
I think it's more a reflection of English society in general. Violent crime being reported continues to increase whilst the number of people being sentenced is decreasing.
Although more family oriented than ever before, football will always attract young men who are most likely to misbehave. So if something isn't done, the families will slowly disappear and things will continue to get worse again. I'd still prefer to go and watch an away match in England than most other countries though!
