Crepe Bandage For Swollen Knees

apart? Not in Spain ...


comes as far the debate on whether to mix sports, particularly football, and politics. As for the clubs of La Liga, appears to be a consensus that everyone should support their colors and try to win as best as possible, but without blurring the political environment that is the sign. I say seems to be consensus, because it is not yet complete, at least as long as there are fanatics Laporta (now hopefully out of Barça), who is well known for use with nationalists from the institution Blaugrana. Another obstacle to this desired goal is to Athletic Bilbao, a club most historic, which, however, remains committed to signing players exclusively from Euskal Herria (the Basque Country that, within the limits that the Basque Autonomous Community has, since it also supported in their exclusive club to players of Navarre, Rioja and the Basque Country French.)
If the firm and strict compliance to all the citizens of Spain must be well in the clubs, which can not be left to private companies after all, the English team should be sacred in terms of subject matter hereof. And I'm not referring to Guardiola, legendary former international selection, at the same time cynical and ungrateful as they come, and has declared his unconditional support Qatar's bid to host the World Cup 2022, World which, incidentally, surely would choose Spain for failing to organize 2018. I never saw such enthusiasm Guardiola on any national objective. However, it seems that the years he spent there left him a long deep track, or just come to reaffirm that it is a cocky and arrogant, with a desire for prominence hidden in the false modesty that is showing. I, personally, I prefer the second option without hesitation for a second.

However, when I look at the English team and everything around him, I realize that politics is part of it. But in an abstract sense, nothing partisan or crispador, quite the opposite. It is the English of Spain as we know it for political reasons. Bring a flag and a shield are such because it is written in the Constitution of 1978. Therefore, if some member of the selection does not agree, you should get out of there. Not acceptable for any player to take the selection to upload your cache, as sometimes you can half guess, if you think a little bit wrong ("think wrong and right" goes the famous saying). But I come today not to talk about any case Oleguer.

In the same way as the patriotic players must be full (no one forces none to play in the selection.) With the public, ie, press conferences, for example, there are certain rules to be observed. And one of those assumed by the general standards of those working in the media is that when a English football player at a concentration responds to a reporter from a English chain, available in English. Only if foreign media, in any case, one could consider the possibility to answer in another language.
Unfortunately, it appears that some journalists TV3 have not understood this point yet, or just go there to provoke. Today one of them has raised a question Pique in perfect English, but was asked to reply in Catalan ("funny, right?). The fact is that this has happened, surprising as it sounds, and had to be Sergio Ramos, who in an ironic and very successful, has broached the TV3 journalist if he also wanted to answer back in Andalusia and, apparently, had trouble understanding the Castilian, the language common to all English and English as they are in the Catalans also.
Sergio had a face a few friends, like mine and that of many to be witnesses of what happened. Hopefully you've been the first and last offense of this kind that a journalist in a press conference selection. And if not the last, at least the only one in that provocation does not cost you a penalty, expulsion from the room or something similar, so it does not take us for idiots.
While also tell them not to lift a lot of voice, not aired because of this, as there will be many who will accuse you of anticatalán. The Catalan nationalist, as the TV3 journalist, you think you have mania (evidence tries to convince the slightest). It's like the repeater student teacher said that he has a hobby, and identical to the wheeler-dealers and thieves from half the world who make excuses that the police will have a hobby.

Although, come to think of it, I may have mania nationalists disrespectful, arrogant and intolerant. For as each other. What are you going to do ...
