Ég męli sterklega meš žvķ aš ALLIR lesi žessa grein, žar sem vitnaš er ķtarlega ķ pistil sem birtist eftir Sepp Blatter, forseta FIFA, ķ Financial Times ķ morgun: Blatter blasts ‘pornographic’ club owners!
‘Having set foot in the sport seemingly out of nowhere, they proceed to throw pornographic amounts of money at it. What they do not understand is that football is more about grass-roots than idols; more about giving entertainment and hope to the many than bogus popularity to a predictable few; more about respecting others than sating individual greed, whether for adulation or money.’
…
Blatter says the practice, in Latin America especially, of speculators buying the commercial rights to promising child players is unacceptable and a ‘new form of slavery’
…
‘It is simply insane for any player to ‘earn’ £6million-£8million a year when the annual budget of even a club competing in the UEFA Champions League may be less than half that. What logic, right or economic necessity would qualify a man in his mid-20s to demand to earn in a month a sum that his own father - and the majority of fans - could not hope to earn in a decade?’
Hann er ekki bara aš tala um eigendur liša į borš viš Chelsea og Corinthians, hann er ekki bara aš tala um grįšuga leikmenn į borš viš Rio Ferdinand, Ashley Cole og ķ raun hundrušir fleiri, hann er ekki bara aš tala um ‘barnaręningjana’ sem stunda fótboltann nś oršiš. Hann er aš tala um žetta allt, og miklu meira til.
Ég tślka žessa grein žannig aš hann ętli aš koma į launažaki, bęši til aš stemma stigu viš launakröfum leikmanna og til aš stöšva rķkustu eigendurna ķ aš eyšileggja leikinn meš aš kaupa bara heimslišiš til sķn. Og svo viršist sem žeir hjį FIFA ętli aš setja einhverjar reglur til aš vernda unga og efnilega leikmenn frį umbošsmönnum, og öšrum rįndżrum.
Ég segi bara, žaš var tķmi til kominn! Žaš žaf aš taka į žessu vandamįli eins og žaš leggur sig, frį lęgstu lęgšum upp ķ hęstu hęšir. Peningar eru farnir aš rįša allt, allt, ALLT of miklu ķ knattspyrnunni ķ dag og žvķ fyrr sem veršur tekiš į žessu, žvķ betra.
Męli meš aš menn lesi žessa grein, og endilega tjįiš ykkar skošanir svo hérna.
