With a highly typical and simple joint statement with less than 40 words, Panathinaikos, Olympiacos and government, it is supposed to be all the disgust of the past days – to “focus on basketball” and continue our lives again as if nothing happened.

In the same work viewers

Greek fans and followers are learned about the shows of various presidents and actors. In the Greek stadiums we have seen a man to “bake” the field by demonstrating the handgun he carries, a vacation of racing by presidents kicking balls, factors threatening and grabbing the genitals of referees, many derogatory sexual organs.

We have also heard and seen a big shareholder over the years wishes in an opposing player to go to the grave of his wife and his children, to find in the worst possible way of referees, agents, presidents of other teams and players, to make the most obscene gestures, sometimes “so” View, in front of dozens of cameras and journalists or via stories on Instagram.

Not in Isapostagism

In corresponding or even worse tones with the factors it moves over time and a portion of fans in Greece – not of many, but of the few, those who overall the image of their team and the stadiums with clarifications of accounts, killing people, finding dead, women, women and children. And all this apparently concerns basketball, but also football, even women’s volleyball – that is, overall Greek sports.

But: The (anti) actions of the followers and those of the factors cannot and should neither enter the same scales nor be an excuse for nasty behaviors on the part of the latter. And this is something that almost all those who are commenting on the events around this year’s final basketball in recent days seem to forget.

Equal distances is clearly convenient. What is easier than taking a position, without… taking a position.

No, a portion of fans singing a foul and absolutely reprehensible slogan cannot need the same assessment with abusive actors.

A prominent public person must adhere to a different framework of rules of conduct than an average fan or a tramp. To be an example, a model with his behavior, and, especially when we talk about sports teams, to encourage the world of his team to behave in the world, to respect the “ruins” the “principles of the good fight”, which also says the common statement. Or at least not to do everything to make a front page for the completely wrong reasons.

The government cannot or does not want – or do they both?

What was once again discarded was the spasmodic reactions of the government, which doubted between the demonstration of fist and the strategic retreat to complete the finals – and eventually made a hole in the water.

With excessive boldness and rigor A la Margaret Thatcher, the government stated, after the events of the chef (having the intent to talk to with all those involved on equal terms) that if the agents of the two teams do not come to the office of the minister. will be interrupted. Without failing to assure us, of course, that no one is “primus inter pares”.

But the players of the two teams did not come to the ministry, did not talk, they did not even sign the agreement – and yet the championship will continue. The government has thus failed to achieve the only goal that it voluntarily set: to mediate to find the two teams and continue our lives normally – supposedly – our lives.

Even if she did, again, it would be wrong to manage it. Is there anyone who thinks the problem has been solved? Is it not obvious that some natural persons are above the law and that the government cannot or does not want to “sting” them? Is there anyone who really believes what the government spokesman said that all citizens are we equal to the law?

Although this would obviously be right, I personally do not expect to have equal treatment by the government and the state with the wealthy businessman. But it does not seem to be funny to try to make the makers with tricks and movements of impression, representing that they have a “iron fist”, to convince themselves that they are.

Instead, in particular, with regard to addressing violence and criminal offenses in public view, it would be much preferable to adhere to the pretexts. Or just to be silent.
