" Brain hemorrhages are less common among footballers, the brain too! ".
Pierre DESPROGES
Thoughts authorized each year as the parenthesis of August in our beautiful country of France.
The slow, inexorable descent into hell of it continues month after month. Economic policy timid, bloodless finance, politics woeful mediocrity, punctuated by daily media racket vulgar and catchy, galloping insecurity that plagues our cities and countryside and gives rise to a left-right debate that has some of the demagoguery of matched only by the dishonesty of others (and some others are interchangeable !....), all contribute to give a sad image of a country which, even forty years ago, was one of the biggest world powers.
Until French football, popular sport if any, long respected by our adversaries around the world, which became the laughingstock of the world, tarnishing the image a little more of our country. Players vulgar and uneducated, with ego, glory-hungry and money, have insulted their country by their unspeakable behavior during the last World Cup in South Africa.
It is often said that sport is a good indicator of the strength or weakness of a country. So is it for France: the contrast between football, his utter failure and disgrace, and the aura of fine athletic success of our athletes at the recent European Championships in Barcelona last July (not to mention the swimmers Budapest!) Is not the image of our country: France discreet who works and earns the respect for work well done, and another mediated France, led by a government where the political courage was expected given way to an occasional demagoguery promoted by a democracy of opinion ever more powerful?
HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
"You can always go one step further, always!".
