Sports, like football for example, are taking other dimensions that lead to huge problems. We cannot address the stadiums’ problems without addressing educational problems. School and social justice are inflection points, while alcohol and drugs are only the means or factors that strengthen hooliganism at sports stadiums and even outside. We will always enjoy serenity in stadiums if journalists write with a clear conscience, referees are skillful and fair, the meaning of football as a sport that inspires wisdom and peace was well respected, police officers don’t exaggerate, and the number of tickets sold is the same as the number of supporters. Finally, we’re not out of the wood, it all comes down to education, morality and decency. The rest is the harvest of a bad relationship between the ruler and the ruled, which usually results in the facts and events we see in stadiums. The rest is just talks and nothing will work, it will just deepen the wound and enlarge the gaps between the parties, which will then turn into hatred both inside and outside the country, like in Algeria and Egypt. The dictator in Egypt rules like a king, monopolizes wealth and performs poor governance. The Egyptian people are desperate of it all and have only the football stadiums to express their annoyance at. And when people are poorly educated, they attack the Algerian people. November 14 will be an alarming date if it does not become a mourning day, given the threats of the Egyptian fans against the Algerian supporters who will attend the decisive match.
