Banning bets, as the PGR wants, may reduce the number of bettors, but it will not prevent betting at newsstands outside the country, as was done before Michel Temer legalized them and Jair Bolsonaro did not regulate them, violating the law that ordered them to be done. it.
What will the PGR do in relation to such a crime, including tax waiver, a new reason for ineligibility?
Lula regulated it, but neglected the side effects on the population and the health system.
“Brazilians have the casino in their pockets”, warned Macaé Evaristo, the Minister of Human Rights.
Innocuous proposals such as prohibiting bets on yellow cards, corners, etc., swarm in forgotten minds that there is no point in prohibiting here what is permitted outside of here.
The betting CPI was already a ready joke with betting propagandist senators and plunged into ridicule by giving credibility to the miscreant who threw dirt on the fan, only to disappear after arranging a meeting with its members in an unknown and unknown location until he was arrested in Dubai.
Add that the Minister of Sports, André Fufuca, appointed a gambling lobbyist, Giovanni Rocco Neto, to the pompous National Secretariat for Sports Betting and Economic Development of Sports, which in theory should oversee the fairness of games. , the PT and, of course, the entities that represent the betting houses.
Rocco has defended the legalization of gambling in São Paulo since advising Mayor Luiz Marinho (PT), in São Bernardo do Campo, under the controversial argument of collecting taxes and regulating the labor market, a project that faces the opposition of bicheiros from Rio.
Fufuca, who replaced Ana Moser, put the fox in charge of the henhouse.
Better than banning betting or its modalities, due to the impossibility of controlling them, would be the prohibition of unrestrained advertising on club shirts, on signs in stadiums and in the media, no matter how much everyone, candidly and movingly, asks bettors for moderation.
Meanwhile, amid hypocrisy and cynicism, suspicions of manipulation grow.
It’s even worse to read the impudence of the ineligible coup leader in asking for respect for democracy…
No one else can make a mistake, from whistle blowers to goalkeepers, defenders, midfielders and attackers, VAR included, without anyone raising suspicions of match manipulation.
Rare reader, rare reader, we are faced with yet another facet of this far from admirable new world, 500 years before the one described by the Englishman Aldous Huxley.
Drying ice is our favorite sport.
IN MATURE
In the modern Venezuelan stadium Monumental de Maturín, with capacity to receive 52 thousand fans, the Canarinha team will face La Vinotinto, at 6 pm, this Thursday (14), if the sweet Nicolás Maduro allows it.
Let us remember that in the third round of the Qualifiers, in October last year, under the command of Fernando Diniz, at Arena Pantanal, in Cuiabá, there was a very poor 1-1 draw.
There are 29 games in the history of the confrontation, with 24 Brazilian victories, four draws and one defeat — with Dunga at the helm, a friendly in Boston, in 2007, 2-0.
And look, the national attack had the so-called Golden Trio, with Robinho, Adriano and Pato.
