Post 7 (21-11) : Current Issues

Well, I´m going to write about football (as almost always in my blogs). Really I enjoy with football and I want to be a sports journalist, but not only talk about sports themselves, but about the social aspects that exist in the sports, especially in football.

For those who don´t know, this weekend the finale of the Copa Libertadores between Boca Juniors y River Plate was suspended. The problem was that River fans threw stones and injured Boca players, even some players had cuts.

With respect to this problem, I want to say emphatically “no more violence”, no more violence in the stadiums and in the world. What happens with the society? Is not possible for a football match people try to kill the rival team. It sounds crazy!!

Many people have blamed the media because they said that this match was “the world final”, so this name caused that fans were violent. But I think this violence isn´t problem of the media or a problem of the politicians or the police. The problem is our society.

The system in which we are living has fallen in many violent acts. In my opinion facts like the murder of the police to the Mapuche Camilo Catrillanca is just one of the examples of this extreme violence that shows us that this is not just a football issue.

I just expect that the match is played in peace and that no more violence is generated.
