This is terrible. When I first read the news I couldn't believe that this happened, especially to a player so deeply involved with this club, not only as a player, but as a member ( Read more... )

...when we're not the ones that vote? It's the presidents that do...
Thanks for clarifying that. I was thinking more that the club presidents should be taking the fans' wishes and making them real. Does no one care about the fans? The TRUE fans, who love and support the team, and who care passionately about the players and the team's standings in the Primera. I guess not. I guess money is still almost everyone's #1 priority in life. :(

When I saw barras in a movie threatening a player, I laughed. (It was Rudo y Cursi, a comedy.) But in real life it isn't funny at all. :(

So it was really Migliore who punched Botti? Okay, that's different than if a fan did it, and now I can understand why he'd want to leave.

I remember watching a documentary called Sacachispas (I hope I spelled it right) about a 4th-division team and its fans, more so the barras associated with that club. They were horrifying, only in that they seemed like normal guys. Until they started talking about actually killing fans from a rival team, and bragging about it! The film was an eye opener in so many ways.

When you say the AFA doesn't make sense, that statement makes the most sense of all. :(

You've hit the nail on the head, Jenni. In the end, that's all you need to understand about argie football: the fact that you have the most passionate fans, the ones who give everything to the club, who travel to Mendoza on a monday night to support, who spend money, who donate money, who help the kids from the youth system, who give their time and energy to the club... and you have everyone else, caring about making money, and stealing it, and benefitting in every way possible. No. No one cares about the fans.
