Even the child learns his football lesson in the spirit of tradition, between the schoolbags designated as the goal, he has no idea why the referee draws criss-crosses, dreamy Japanese characters in the air in the real big matches. Written by László Kiss.
I don't know what to do with the miracle machines and the new rules, but seeing the everyday, new nonsense of the accelerated life, we say once and for all:
Anyone who violates the rules of football commits a crime against humanity.
It's something like GMO. In other words, a genetically modified organism is a microbial organism whose genetic material has been modified using laboratory techniques. This makes it possible to give plants specific properties, such as resistance or better nutrient uptake. The aim of such techniques is usually to increase crop yield, improve plant disease resistance or even increase nutritional value.
Well, we can witness something similar in football, and all of this appears cumulatively at the European Championship, with the help of VAR, in the performances of several referees. Sometimes they award a penalty, sometimes they award a free kick for handling, but it also happens that they make a mistake to the detriment of the innocent team.
This has been the case so far, but in the inner circles of football, until recently, the idea was that the referee and his mistakes are part of the game, and that these mistakes balance each other out in the long run.
Even if most teams feel like they're just cheating against him. Regularly, methodically.
We are the same with the long-term effects of genetically modified foods on our health. Until it is proven that someone will have three ears or even none because of some GMO monster, we will delay and postpone the assessment of the GMO revolution, and for years we have only guessed that it might actually be a counter-revolution.
As in football. The offside and goal line technology - although there are mistakes there too - are still fine, but the handling is downright scandalous. But think about it, with us, twelve teams can enjoy or even curse their importance every week, on six pitches, they simply play according to different rules on all the others.
Even the child learns his football lesson in the spirit of tradition, between the schoolbags designated as the goal, he has no idea why the referee draws criss-crosses, dreamy Japanese characters in the air in the real big matches.
In the case of gene modification, on the other hand, scientific people express their doubts clearly.
So, for example, that in the long term we may have to beware of allergic reactions and the development of antibiotic-resistant bacterial strains. This can be a serious health concern, as the rise of antibiotic resistance can make it harder to treat infections. Superweeds can appear, suppressing crops and endangering the diversity of the natural world.
Controversies about the health effects of GMO foods continue.
Although many studies do not find a direct link between GMOs and serious health problems, the long-term effects are still not fully understood. Caution may therefore be justified. However, geneticists are convinced that they were invented to make the dumber half of humanity happy, and that's why they work.
Well, they work. Like the transport and bee experts at the Pest town hall.
Alas, for us, when they wake up and realize why they are being paid. Really, why? If it's for them to work, but then there's a problem, the city will stop right away.
And so is football. At one time, enthusiastic young people, mainly from England, invented and refined the rules and brought them to Pékerdő along with the ball. And now some bigwigs in the International Board are making a living out of it.
They are not ordered by anyone, not FIFA, not UEFA, not even the referees.
And if one of them dreams something, they try to force it on us. Please, someone tell me, has the game become more interesting since the ball does not have to leave the field of play when taking a goal kick, and is soccer more exciting since it is possible to start backwards?
Unfortunately, these people exist, they do exist, unfortunately, they want to work, and it may also happen that there are football fans among them who have never seen a game in their life. Or just saw. It would be much better if they just went to the game and did nothing.
For example, after a Csakanovce-Radzovce, i.e. Csákányháza-Ragyolc, rally in Slovakia, the referee was regularly chased at one time. It is true that the video assistant, i.e. VAR, did not yet rule at that time. So they couldn't chase it in the corn.
Now the football genetic modification is tending to make it no longer necessary to play. A judge is still needed, as well as teams and some audience. The players come out, then start arguing with each other and the referee, and you can even get a few slaps in the audience.
At the same time, ambulances carrying the injured are required to exit with which foot. Yes Yes.
A lot of nonsense comes out of these overworked parents, perhaps even the fact that you don't even need a ball to play.
All of a sudden, the players, that is, the players on the same team, hug each other, the referee runs off to watch TV, then comes back and announces after drawing air: no kissing! Give it back! Of course, you can still make bets before that - a suitable person will be sitting in the air at both gates - and everything will be more exciting soon.
Just like our lives from now on, since the EU just recently approved the use of GMO corn as food and feed. It is good to know that the license is valid for ten years.
What do they think, will we survive?
