Final thoughts on the CONI ruling
Since day one I’ve felt this was a ‘club level’ issue and opted not to make a huge deal of it on this blog. (There are plenty of Serie A sites where you can find it, if that’s what you want). But now that its done and dusted, if you put it a complex issue in the simplest terms, here are my two cents:
Juventus got off lightly. AC Milan got off even easier. Fiorentina probably got what they deserved (hey, google on the term “Caso Catania” some time. The Viola have gotten MORE than their share of breaks in the past). Lazio, well, who knows. They were run by an admitted crook (Cragnotti) for a long time, and even his ouster hasn’t completely put tthings on the level. All in all, its a pretty bleak and depressing picture at the club level.
On the bright side, the national team rolls on. Kids in Italy aren’t hanging up their boots and looking for basketballs en masse. The role of football in Italian culture is far too strong to be shredded by something even on this scale. Let’s hope that something can be learned from all this, and that we can start focusing on the pitch. Because if anything will drive the fans away, it will be a lack of quality out on the field.
