“What did you do? Did you score? Did you shake hands with the referee'”. These three questions were repeated at my house one weekend yes and another as soon as I arrived after I played. A ritual that started from the infant stage.
Not shaking hands with the referee at the end of the game or even seeing a card can cause anger beyond the fact of winning or even scoring more than one goal. I respect the referee and the rivals above all else.
The Vizcaya Football Federation recently launched a campaign against violence on football fields called ‘Hau ez da zure leksha, This is not your field’. All this is aimed, says the entity led by Iñaki Mardones, at “reinforcing our commitment to football as a sport of values and fostering a healthy and safe environment” in the various matches held in Biscay.
Now that the theme of Vinicius is very fashionable, not in racism, it does not seem like a bad time to influence what will happen in some football fields one weekend, yes and another. How many parents ask their kids if they shook hands with the referee? And the rival? For something starting.
