It was 27th april, 2014 Villarreal supporters threw bananas at Brazilian footballer Dani Alves during the Barcelona vs Villarreal match.Alves picked up the banana in protest and ate it.Within a few days, Neymar and other players protested the incident sharing pictures in their social media handles.Mesut Ozil announced his retirement from international football on July 22, 2018 saying that if he wins, he will remain a German in the eyes of the supporters,otherwise he will become an intruder.What a fuss is this?What kind of civilization are we bearing now?The vortex of hatred has penetrated into the capitalist controlled society now.The game of love is being corrupted.The ingredient which will be used in the future lies in the environment in which people grows up.Here lies the problem. The football field is paying the price for not presenting the antidote of unity infront of that mass who grew up in this society having the capsules of diversity everyday.
On October 1, 2021,Prague,Czech Republic, racism prevented supporters from entering into the football field.Rangers vs Sparta Prague match started allowing only school footballers in the gallery.What a prottection! But during the match, racist insults were hurled at the Rangers' Finnish footballer Glen Kamara by one of that young school footballers.The incident proves that the mentality of accepting the message of unity of football field has not been spread at all levels of this poor society.
However, the goal of the football is to cut the darkness and deliver the light.The water cannon to extinguish the fire of hatred can only be appeared in the football ground.Champions know how to turn an injury into success.September 2019, England vs Bulgaria match.Some bulgarian fans began to criticize England's black players.To protest the insult England scored 6 goals in that match against Bulgaria without uttering a single word.Bulgarian lost their audacity. Hatred can never smile last smile,keep it in mind.
Now come to 2020-21 Euro Cup Final.Rashford missed the Penalty against Italy.Anger raised up.A group of racists posted some black papers on the graffiti in withington near his house where his face was painted in a wall.What a shame! But for whom? Protesting the fact, people across England sent their greetings and messages of love to Rashford.This fact proves that the victory of love in the fight against violence is inevitable.
The game will turn surely.The football field will not end in hatred.Have faith in the words of Thierry Henry, "A lot of different races and nationalities play football.So it is a good way to try and stop racism."Have faith in football.A bullet shot will break the wall of diversion surely.We have to wait only for the right time with proper manner, can't we?
