Without violence, no passion. Without passion, no football. Without football, there is no life.
Do you want to die or not?
I think I wrote about her sometime before, about how she finally turned around and started to love cureCruyff hey Barcelona.
Having long and emphatically rejected their firm belief that there is only one right way to play football, which is so vividly embodied in the point of conflict between Guardiola and Mourinho, I suddenly stood there and loved them.
why? In the end, the coin fell: because they advocated a compelling ideological position, and did so in a world where all ideologies (except perhaps fascism) were in a state of complete disintegration.
That’s how I came to love triangles.
Ten years later, I live in football that is increasingly difficult to sympathize with for the same reason. Many who, historically, have been able to explain why they love football as a phenomenon, have pointed out that it is a breathing gap that is something completely separate from the reality that surrounds it. When the world is rational, football and support offer something irrational, emotionally driven, sometimes dark, violent, spontaneous and emotional.
no?
If you haven’t noticed, the political landscape has become football. He is polarized, submerged, emotionally driven, short-sighted, screaming, taut, reflex driven, and violent.
Last Sunday, a few hundred men clashed on a soccer field in Solna. There was shouting, violence, clowns and the embodiment of the power ideology “My local team is better than yours”. Unless it’s a breathing hole – because that’s exactly what the world looks like outside the stands.
Anyway: It was a cultural debate.
It has become, as is almost always the case when it comes to predominantly masculine environments, a stupid discussion.
The absolute majority of those who love the sport of spectator football agreed that the derby was a great experience. Unbelievable turnout, great show as the stands maintained a level that sports producer Allsvenskan had nowhere to come close to. The decibels, choreographies, and emotional storms that are hard to defend. And then it collapsed. The scene was seized by some who think they deserve the right to run over everything and everyone with their toxic capital of violence. Families, retirees, regular football fans in love, AIK and Hammarby companies – damn them all. Here the fist is raised, fires are fired, and primal screams echo in the concrete. A fascist cult of violence will appear here.
And in the aftermath: a stupid debate.
Looks like there were only two ways to go
The debate about “support culture” (a core course: it has several different elements, everything from the old man who’s been a member for 60 years and the family in the seat, to the popular pro-democracy movement, to the artists behind the choreography, to the violent boys) is always driven With different camps, those who heard the loudest are always the extremists.
this too. One camp refuses to understand why football fans don’t act like visitors to the modern museum. Another camp shouts that any attempt to fight against the worst variants is a direct attack on all football fans in the world and that it is impossible to have passion without deteriorating at times.
This time, passionate person and podcaster Thomas Wilbacher pushed this position, and in an interview with Michael Wagner of Sportbladet, the pro/player concluded pontos anise above. They do not argue with violence, but understand that it is included.
The main talking point says, “You can’t pick raisins from a cake.”
You can’t get the swing pads, turnouts, breathing holes, meeting place if you also don’t understand that sometimes it can lead to someone throwing a chair cushion over their head, a family getting into trouble, a baton being sent to shit or His life is kicked to pieces in a gravel pit. In what other social issue would the raisin cake analogy be possible?
No one should question the sincerity of Pontus Jansson, he is a unique flower in the world of football where the average professional in the Premier League is closer to Kim Kardashian than buying a liter of milk among the ordinary people in the stands.
But don’t they understand?
If the question for the state, the police, and the majority community is “Do you want nice situations even if they sometimes mean large-scale riots, violence and people getting into trouble?” So the answer will be to her. Not a chance. If the worst thing you can imagine is the mild, cooled stands (the Premier League is used as a horrifying example in these discussions), you are very limited if you don’t understand that the heaviest argument for repression is violence. Why did Paris Saint-Germain replace its fans? Why did England do that? For financial reasons, and because the bullying gave them the arguments they needed.
My only problem with this kind of superficial discussion is that it seems as if there are only two ways of fan culture: Belgrade or the Premier League.
The second is distrust.
Pretending that it didn’t happen is mockery
In the past 20 years, public opinion about the place of fans in Swedish football has swung 180 degrees. Then there were many of them (us) who refused to make trouble, and who just wanted to condemn themselves and get away from themselves. Today, leagues, players’ groups, clubs and sports journalists vie for who loves the culture of supporters the most. There is a touch of dread in the face of the opposite pages, as it costs popularity points.
A committed grassroots movement of organized supporters has spent twenty years becoming an opponent who can argue its cause, and to pretend it didn’t happen is a mockery. Attitudes can be said to be a great place, but there are problems to be condemned and opposed. This is the Swedish special branch You know? It’s even the only possible way forward. England has shown that you can get order in the stands with complete suppression, and international research has shown that dialogue is an alternative route for those who don’t want to end up there.
You cannot claim that violent men are a slim majority, and at the same time claim that they must exist so that the entire ultra culture does not die. If you pretend that violence is a prerequisite for affection, or that they must belong together in some way, you also have to take responsibility for what it can lead to.
like him:
If you have a boyfriend who really loves his wife, but washes her up every now and then, I think you should speak up with all your might and make sure he gets help.
You don’t have to explain to her that she has her cake. And that the raisins sit where they sit.
