HF854 - Someone who truly hates football
Trådtittelen er et sitat fra en artikkel av Jonathan Liew i The Guardian samme dag som tråden ble startet, kort etter de sjokkerende nyhetene om at 12 europeiske toppklubber gikk inn for å opprette sin egen såkalte Superliga:
"Perhaps once all this has shaken out, once the imminent threat of a breakaway European super league has been resolved one way or the other, football will find the time for a little reflection.
How we reached this point. How the game’s elite clubs managed to engineer a scenario in which a hostile takeover came to feel inevitable, even irresistible. How the world’s most popular sport managed to hand over so much of its power and wealth and influence to people who despise it.
Because make no mistake: this is an idea that could only have been devised by someone who truly hates football to its bones. Who hates football so much that they want to prune it, gut it, dismember it, from the grassroots game to the World Cup. Who finds the very idea of competitive sport offensive, an unhealthy distraction from the main objective, which in a way has always been capitalism’s main objective."
