Fatih Portakal lists them: 'The hard truths revealed by the Super Cup final'

The stance taken by Fenerbahçe and Galatasaray, who decided not to take the field in protest against the disrespect shown toward Atatürk, leading to the cancellation of the Super Cup final, continues to be a topic of discussion.

This cancellation decision, which mobilized millions of citizens and caused them to express their reactions, particularly on social media accounts, was also met with backlash in political circles.

While the People's Alliance (Cumhur İttifakı) preferred to keep a distance from the issue, other party leaders reacted harshly to the situation.

A critical post on the subject also came from journalist Fatih Portakal. Portakal listed numerous points one after another on his social media account under the title 'The hard truths revealed by the Super Cup final'. 

Here is that post by Portakal:

The hard truths revealed by the Super Cup final that could not be played in Arabia:

-In the 100th year of the Republic, the senseless sycophancy toward Arabia did not work.

-You can sell everything, but it is now understood that some values are not for sale.

-Even if it was a sports competition in the 100th year, of course, it could not happen without commemorating the country's founder, and it didn't…

-It is now clearly understood that Atatürk is still a red line.

-Some stubborn minds have seen once again, even if they are angry, that the late leader cannot be a subject of bargaining.

-The Minister of Interior spoke. His sincerity is, of course, a debatable issue.

-We witnessed that leaders who claim to be local and national remained silent.

-The marketing scenario that corrupt politics carried out for the sake of money has been sent to the trash heap of history.

 -We watched how the love for the Saudis collapsed in Riyadh.

-We have once again etched into our memory those who choose between those who harbor hatred for Atatürk and those who admire Wahhabism.

-We witnessed that the anti-AKP crowd also continues to have an allergy to Atatürk. There is nothing to do, keep itching. The liberals continue their liberalism.

-We have understood once again that the institution's compass is money.

-However, we did not learn whether the TFF actually managed the organization or not.

-But we also saw that the clubs had different agendas.

-The TFF president's past ties to the community were discussed once again, and that was a good thing.

-We witnessed that the FETÖ members might still have power.

-Arabia realized that some things cannot be bought with millions of dollars; they were disgraced.

-And one motto still holds its validity. As Atatürk said:

PEACE AT HOME, PEACE IN THE WORLD

Let this be a slap in the face to those who keep endless hatred inside them. Period.
