Juca Kfouri: There’s no game with racism – 05/27/2023 – Juca Kfouri

The campaign launched by CBF in video with Gilberto Gil, Chico Buarque de Hollanda, Antonio and Camila Pitanga, Carolina Dieckmann, Vladimir Brictha, Teresa Cristina, Renata Sorrah, Regina Casé, Adriana Esteves, Douglas Silva, Murilo Benício, among other personalities in life Brazilian, has the novelty of bringing, explicitly, the official authorization of the entity that governs football in the country for players to stop games in which there are racist offenses.

With racism there is no game, says the motto of the campaign.

It’s no small feat and it’s yet another legacy of Vinicius Junior’s courage in facing barbarism.

Because, as already said and repeated, it is necessary to go beyond gestures, manifestos and protests.
It’s past time for there to be concrete actions, to interrupt the show, to stop dancing for fascists to clap their hands.

Let’s agree that, if, when fans invaded the Corinthians training center, in 2014, the nearly attacked Alvinegro players had done what the then defender Paulo André proposed, not taking the field to face Ponte Preta, things would have changed.

Corinthians would have lost points for WO, and the aggressors would be blamed by Fiel for such damage and would never again act as they did.

Well then. Now the players have the authorization of those who run the Brazilian championships, of the entity presided over by a black man, the Bahian Ednaldo Rodrigues, who knows pain and gives every indication of not wanting to play with such a vital subject, far beyond football, but which sees sport as an excellent means of raising awareness.

And there’s more: contrary to the respectable opinion of teammate Martín Fernandez, a first-class reporter and brilliant columnist for O Globo, the CBF is doing well to maintain the selection’s friendly against Guinea, on the 17th, in Barcelona.

Fernandez argues that the game, if at Maracanã, would help the crowd to welcome the star as he deserves.
Without a doubt, it makes sense, but keeping the game going, in potentially hostile terrain, will serve to show the courage to face the issue head-on and will give Catalonia the opportunity to honor its tradition of anti-fascist struggle.

Spain does not have a monopoly on racism. It is a worldwide disease and, unfortunately, very much ours.

Let us not forget that, recently, we had a President of the Republic who weighed the quilombolas in arrobas and for that reason ended up condemned to pay 50 thousand reais to the Federal Fund for Diffuse Rights.

To this day, fascists have supporters across the country and in stadiums.

Libertadores at risk

Who would have thought that, after the fourth round of the continental tournament was over, the situation of the seven Brazilians was still undefined, although with only Corinthians outside the classification zone?

The rare reader and the rare reader know who would say and who said.

Of all, only Inter was undefeated, despite a mediocre campaign.

classics of the day

In Itaquera, at 4 pm, suffering for Corinthians in search of victory over Fluminense to break Luxembourg’s fast, eight games of abstinence, as if three points caused an allergy.

At 18:30, the best game of the eighth round of the Brasileirão: Atlético Mineiro x Palmeiras.

The Rooster on the rise and Palmeiras firm, strong and regular.

Too bad it’s in the Mineirão pasture.

The CBF should ban it.

Don’t have a lawn? Lose control.
