When sport teaches politics
I offer you a very interesting read from the magazine Weekend Spot where Gallas, defender of France, tells of an event occurring on the bus that was moving from the national to the European headquarters at Clairefontaine of torneo.Questo sports story can be read from the political point of view, in particular, addressed the theme of renewal. Tell
Gallas: "Not that every seat has its plate with the name, but everyone knows where I usually placed me where they settle Thuram and Vieira." So imagine the shock when the young Samir Nasri (in the book is not named, but in France is an open secret) chooses the place of Thierry Henry (symbol of the veterans). Gallas, who is next, taking advantage of the fact that Henry has not yet ascended to try to resolve the issue by saying that Nasri to be there if they must go, but the Talentino Marseille (then landed his former Arsenal team of Henry) in reply puts her headphones and turns on the iPod. When Henry arrives
tension is high, the symbolic value of provocation is visible to all: young people are rebelling vecchi.Henry nods to the driver not to leave, and stands in front of Nasri, until the boy, flaunting its annoying change place. The old won the episodic arm wrestling, but the generational cleavage is such as to fail to France and Europeans. And as often happens, a history of sport is an excuse to think about broader scenarios: how is destined to ruin a society where the old do not prepare their succession and young people not capiscano il momento giusto per affiancare i vecchi prima e quello per sostituirli poi.
