Irregular sport

Football is the most popular sport in the world.

It is also referred to in the dictionary as the sport of the common people.

Neither a gym nor equipment is required.

Goals set up with stones in neighborhood streets are enough to play.

Therefore, its fans are also common people like me.

We try to realize our childhood dreams through the players of the teams we support.

Cemils, Ali Kemals, Şenols, Lefters, or if we go further back, Baba Hakkıs.

They became role models for children.

But things have changed over the past 20-30 years.

We can no longer even name the starting elevens of the teams.

There is no longer any local identity or continuity in the teams.

Afterwards, the dark-skinned players transferred from Africa changed the game.

Players whose identities are unclear, whose ages are not even known for certain, and whose anatomical structures are genetically different have taken over the leagues.

These footballers, who have more muscle and run much faster than the average human, are not like the others when it comes to work discipline.

Then, South Americans also began to create problems in terms of work discipline.

These two groups, whose roots are unclear, are disrupting the systematic structure of football.

As if the million-dollar transfer fees were not enough, they chase after kickbacks through their agents, put the ball into the net with their hands in the final minutes, and directly influence the results of the matches.

Let us not forget the betting companies, which are in a race to add fuel to the fire that is destroying the system.

Granted, irregular conditions are equal for everyone, provided they show the ethics to use them.

However, in this situation, it is perhaps not the smartest or the most agile athlete, but the most unethical one who determines the outcome.

And our millions, our time, our joy, and our dreams are all wasted.
