Criticism – Juca Kfouri: Corinthian Democracy has been used, without scruples, as pure marketing

by

In the country of the ready-made joke, although lately with more reasons to cry than to laugh, Corinthians went on a silent strike and took the opportunity to extend it to football.

He took a Palmeiras dance and didn’t need to justify himself because he decided to shut up and his social networks.

The initiative was so convenient that there are those who swear it was designed precisely because defeat in the derby was predicted.

All because of who it is, from a board without any credibility, which happily coexists with offenders, although also with some magistrates, which speaks more of the second than the first.

The idea, in theory, is correct: to denounce the violence in football that is on the rise, with threats and attacks on players, technical commissions and top hats; and fight the fake news industry or the desperate search for clicks.

If Father Júlio Lancelotti had been responsible for the campaign, no one of good will would object.

In the mouth of the alvinegra cartagem, it doesn’t catch.

Because essential information to support the initiative is lacking.

Let’s start at the beginning.

What does the president of Corinthians live on?

Why do you receive known violent fans?

Why don’t you tell the truth about the club’s economic situation?

Why do you keep guaranteeing that the situation in the stadium is in the process of being resolved and more and more the facts show the opposite?

Why do you leave the basic categories in the hands they are in?

There’s nothing better than a strike of silence to avoid uncomfortable questions and avoid giving true answers.

Because few clubs produce as many fake news as Corinthians or have so many people on their board and advice that you wouldn’t buy a used car.

Hence the Corinthians campaign seems doomed to be a shot in the water.

Corinthian Democracy turns 40 this 2022 and has been used, without scruples, as pure marketing — without a word against the far-right government that plagues us.

The image of Socrates, the example of Wladimir and the activism of Casagrande survive. But only theirs.
