Response from the vice president of football to Calazans
By Flamengo Archive - inDear Calazans:
Writing well does not always mean reading well.
Today, you were deeply unfair. Your reading of Sunday's article was completely wrong, especially because your thoughts on the subject of violence are exactly the same as mine.
In Sunday's article, I accused the prosecutor of PREVARICATION. I never accused him of unfairness for filing charges against Obina. We accuse the prosecutor, you and I, of not also filing charges against the Inter attackers against Ibson and Obina himself. How could he, after reviewing the tape, only charge one attacker when in reality there were three?
Therefore, friend, I am also against any type of violence and, institutionally, Flamengo too.
What we want is to open the debate. How can a prosecutor, for example, charge the Czech player without any mention in the report, have the Superior Court of Justice (STJD) penalize him with three games, have the player serve the suspension, and then be acquitted by the full court?
And who pays for Grêmio's technical losses? Don't you think there's something wrong there?
And Felipão, who punched him, not in the heat of the game, but afterward, when he should have calmed down, and was punished for 4 games (as if he plays once a month), the equivalent of a month. Which aggression was worse, Felipão's or Obina's. If so, you answer that they were equal, like one being punished for a month and the other for four?
Don't you think this important and controversial topic should be debated in the search for fair solutions that curb violence?
Furthermore, when a broadcast airs on free-to-air TV, there are a huge number of cameras ready to capture everything. In closed-circuit games, there are often no offside cameras, which means that not everything will be shown. Therefore, it can be concluded that the clubs with the greatest popular appeal (those always on free-to-air TV) will always have their players under the most surveillance. This is not equal, and anything that is not equal is unfair.
I have already officially suggested to the CBF a broad debate, in the hope that we can combat violence judiciously and equally for everyone.
In closing, I suggest that you write more, much more, and, as master Sérgio Noronha would say, read with more care.
May you enjoy your well-deserved vacation.
Strong hug,
Kleber Leite.
