And from the es-per-pen-to to the cir-cus – The penultimate living raulista

Yesterday I read in the newspaper As an article by Lucía Taboada about the (in my opinion) grotesque situation that has been going on for several weeks in women’s football. And it was clarifying for me, I admit. I imagine that Lucía is not approaching women’s football for the first time, she has been watching women’s football all her life and is aware of what happens inside her, so I take what she says as good. In his article, certainly brilliant, which is ironically titled “Niñatas”, he says verbatim as follows: “The curious thing about this offensive is that probably many of those who today classify the players as ‘niñatas’ criticized the federation at some point.” of football. Many will probably keep a tweet in their history rebuking Luis Rubiales or negatively evaluating some federative corruption. Some will have written that what Piqué did with Rubiales was a shame, that the federation would have to be built from scratch”… Let’s see if I understand it : Does Lucía suggest that if a year ago fifteen footballers said “no” to the national team, it was because Rubiales negotiated with Piqué to take the Spanish Super Cup to Arabia? Well, this must be the umpteenth version of the players’ environment about their refusal to be called up.

Now, it seems, they want the marketing department to go out, leaving workers unemployed, because Rubiales negotiated with Piqué. I criticized it here… but there is no testimony that any of the blackmailers did it. I criticized Rubiales here for taking the Super Cup to Arabia, a country in which women are treated as if they were furniture, but I did not see that the female footballers were publicly accused of it or were critical. I criticized the Salobreña party, which, by the way, Rubiales’ uncle says eighteen-year-old girls attended. I don’t know that Ona Batlle, Mapi León or Alexia Putellas showed their rejection of that situation, I honestly don’t remember. Maybe they did say something but I don’t know. In my opinion it is perfectly compatible and possible to spend four long years criticizing Rubiales’ management, as is happening here, and not understand absolutely anything of what these soccer players are trying to achieve. I had understood that the thirty-nine players who said they did not feel safe in the federation did so because of Rubiales’ kiss on Hermoso’s lips, now Lucía Taboada says that it was because of the negotiation with Piqué to take the Super Cup to Arabia. Is that why they say they don’t feel safe? They had it easy, having followed the path of Ana Muñoz, who simply said goodbye and left. If you had gone then, I would have applauded you.

On Friday they asked for the resignation of all of Blas and yesterday, in El Español, Jorge Calabrés said that directors and employees of the Federation were going to sue for coercion and slander against the thirty-nine blackmailers, which is, by the way, what I would do if it were Jorge Vilda, who we still do not know why he was dismissed. What are these players swiping? Well, La Ciudad del Fútbol is a nest of dangerous sexists. And surely there will be, as unfortunately there still are everywhere, men with sexist behavior, but I know many people in there who are very good people. You cannot accuse indiscriminately, you cannot demand that someone be fired from their job due to article 33. And that is what, in its response, the Federation asked: “Hey, tell me who had what behavior and at what time.” so that I can take the appropriate measures.” Well until today. What an extraordinary service the twenty-three world champions would have done for Spanish women if they had lent their image to a campaign against the yes is yes law that has freed sexual abusers and freed rapists! They were late for that one too. Patience. Everything will go.

Rocha guaranteeing a “safe environment” for the players is outrageous. But what happens in there? What is that? Is it the Black Dolphin prison in Orenburg? Or Gitamara in Rwanda? Out of simple curiosity, what are they doing there? Why do they have to be guaranteed their safety? Are there voyeurs? Has someone broken into the bathrooms? If the Federation itself tells the blackmailers that they are going to guarantee them a safe environment, it is because that must be the Antanimora prison, right? This is very easy: “I want you to throw out Juan Pérez because he did this in the presence of these people.” You ask Pérez whether Pérez recognizes the facts and goes out into the street or he doesn’t recognize them and we go to court. Because, dear Boquete, Pérez, like you, and although he may surprise you, he also has individual rights included in the Constitution.

Today has already been a festival of humor. The thing about Tomé saying that he applauded when he didn’t applaud and summoning fifteen world champions, nineteen of the signatories of the statement and four of the fifteen who did not come back, is straight out of a Marx Brothers movie. At half past five, Swiss Ana Crnogorcevic, an Atlético de Madrid player, called the list “madness”: “How can you threaten your own players like this? This is very disrespectful. They don’t allow them to make their own decisions,” He said. By calling them, and waiting for them to show up tomorrow or not, the Federation confronts Tomé with her own reality as a coach, which is none other than being held hostage by the managers. And now comes the time for the brave: Iran? They will not? If they do not do so, and according to article 104 of the Sports Law, they could be disqualified for a period of between two and fifteen years and be fined between three thousand and thirty thousand euros. On the other hand, what should Tomé have done, not call the best? And waiting for what, to be guaranteed a safe environment? And what does that consist of? Not even they know it. And, if they know it, they keep it quiet. The first day I said chan-ta-jis-tas, the second es-per-pen-to, today I say that this is a circus. Did you want to destroy women’s football? Well, said and done, there you have it.
