If the Republic had a neck, it would be sweating profusely from the intense heat inflicted on those who are destroying the lives of Argentines. But, precisely because it is republican, it lacks a subject that dries it up with indefatigable care. He has to endure it and continue to sweat through the bad times that come his way every day. This is not the case of “Cheke” Tapia, the AFA Pharaoh, who has followers whose drops end up dripping down his neck before they touch the collar of his master’s shirt.
Speaking of drops, the embarrassing events in which this entity and its boss were heroes are starting to fade away. Social networks are on fire and Justice puts a magnifying glass on the goings-on and dealings near the top boss.
In non-K media, this is an obsessive topic that gives no relief. In those they are minimized or they try to throw dirt in the other direction. A very clear contradiction.
The institutional management of Argentine football is a miniature laboratory that reproduces the country’s greatness and misery on a large scale.: It has barbaric people, such as the national team and its technical team, noble and upright professionals who give us so much happiness, and barbaric people (in the opposite sense of the word) with multiple authoritarian management and remote-controlled rulers who favor their own students. It even feels like he’s taking on a non-existent heroism that has sown discord in the kitchen. and The same thing happens to a country when its most powerful leaders remain silent in the face of many anomalies out of fear or complicity.Violations are progressing and strengthening amidst impunity. Fortunately there is at least one Juan Sebastian VeronTo raise their voices denouncing that the king is naked. “They threatened us, but they will not see us on our knees,” he said on LN+. Although this has a very high cost, which is intended to discipline the rest of the clubs: a fine, six months of suspension for him and two team dates. All because of the “comeback” that the world was talking about: Estudiantes had to create a “hall of honor” for Rosario Central, winner of an invented tournament, and the “Pinchas” players turned around as a sign of protest.
but No one can suppress the anger that comes from the stands against Tapia on the gridiron And even in the show Andres Calamaro.
Javier Miley He saw the opportunity and dove headfirst into it. Attempts at hegemony by Argentine governments have generally been limited to politics. It was Peronism that performed best in the past eighty years. At several stages, it was able to expand in a way that reduced opposition to a minimum of expression.
First radical, more liberal with Leandro is a scientistmore like a leader Hipolito Yrigoyen (Not forgetting Marcelo T. de Alvear) He had to wait more than half a century until… Raul Alfonsine He attempted to overthrow union power, seize the federal capital in the south, and form the “Third Historic Movement,” three failed hegemonic dreams.
Now the liberal government, after its resounding national victory in the legislative elections and thanks to the constant slander that the war minister of the interior applies to the rulers in their ongoing federal rounds, Diego Santilli (“He changes colors according to the occasion,” he would sing Novaro Boy), he managed to discipline the rebels, while keeping Kirchner’s stunned followers backed into a corner.
He has already become completely dominant from the beginning on social networks – no politician comes close to him in the number of followers or in the number of daily actions he carries out from there without intermediaries -, Now, Javier Miley is slowly moving towards the coveted and hugely popular prey: football.
When Christianity was in full force, it was only encouraged to associate strongly with the invincible AFA, while it still ruled there. Julio Grondona And use it as an advertising press Diego Maradona. Thus was born the state monopoly on radio broadcasting. Football for everyone. For $1 million, it was broadcast for free, although copious official propaganda crept in mid-stories.
President Macri wanted to confront Tapia, but FIFA President Gianni Infantino stopped him.
What will rule now that Tapia and company’s schemes have multiplied and Miley is aiming for more? The Liberal received its first blow with the Asian Football Confederation, when it wanted to emphasize its desire for the big teams to become joint-stock sports companies (SAD). He found an impenetrable wall. Despite the opposition, he signed a decree, in August 2024, giving clubs one year to adapt their statute so that SAD could compete freely. “No more miserable socialism in football,” he wrote at the time. The fish remains unsold.
Can the state cooperate with an AFA, a civil association subject to private law, such as a UIA or a rural community? Or does the current football chaos break those boundaries and empower the state’s interest?
If the system falters, can the government invite itself to the great football table and arrange what it wants?
Miley misses the photo with Donald Trump at the World Cup draw. He would rather not travel than have to share the shot with Tapia. Total war. Last night, in Santiago del Estero, a new battle was being fought.
