Football fever is sweeping the world all the time, and unfortunately to a high degree we do not see (the squabbling) except in our Arab world, as some of our stadiums have reached the point of boiling and fighting with hands and feet, and matches have turned into a boxing and wrestling ring in a way we have never seen before, and the reason is football, whose presence has become a divider and does not unite our Arab youth!
In every location, place and time we find most of the talk about football and its results, and even if we come up with another topic and ideas, the reference is to (the spoiled one) that occupies people, even with what is called “professionalism” that some people seek to resort to sometimes to escape from our painful football reality because we only think about winning and do not accept losing?
And whoever delves into what happened with some Zamalek players during the Egyptian Super Cup in Abu Dhabi will know that our stadiums and institutions do not accept such behaviors and methods that are alien to our values and customs.
Why do we only see all these crises? Is it because of the excessive sensitivity of the matches, or are some sports analysts and administrators the ones who open the door to such behaviors due to the need in their souls for their dreams, so interests rise above all considerations, striking the moral values that are among the most important conditions required in an athlete, regardless of its type, against the wall, so we must strive to limit this dangerous phenomenon that will kill our sport if it continues. Provocative statements and provoking the masses are behind the negative atmosphere witnessed by some matches, this matter must be resolved and we do not want some intruders in sports to ruin the atmosphere, so such matters must stop immediately, and our problem is that some (disagree and you will be known) .. Morals first, is the slogan that we must adopt in the media and administratively in order to get things to their right place .. And God is behind the intention
