“In Brazil, even the past is uncertain.”
The phrase, attributed to several fathers and no mother, is valid for its grace. The origin is secondary.
True is the number of analyzes that ignore the past as if life had begun the day the analyst came to light. Instead of illuminating, it obscures.
A clear example is the president of Palmeiras, Leila Pereira.
Many treat her as the first woman to preside over a major club.
They ignore Marlene Matheus, the São Paulo dancer who led Corinthians between 1991 and 1993, and Patrícia Amorim, the Rio swimmer at the helm of Flamengo between 2010 and 2012.
Look at the rare reader and the rare reader who hasn’t been around that long and we’re talking about women in the management of the two most popular clubs in Brazil.
Marlene was accused of being a puppet in the hands of her husband, Vicente, who could not be re-elected, and Patrícia, before Dilma Rousseff, changed the gender treatment of the word president by asking, as has always been enshrined in the dictionary, to be called president .
Some followed, others didn’t, perhaps out of machismo, perhaps out of style.
That Leila Pereira is managing successfully at the helm of Palmeiras is obvious.
That she will be re-elected, too.
Who became the club’s advisor, and main representative, at the expense of illegality committed by former president Mustafá Contursi, even the artificial lawn of the emerald house knows — just as her business practices are known, constantly contested and punished in court, by extortionate interest, etc.
Touching on such topics sounds misogynistic to those who see her as a feminist in the territory of males.
It would really be excellent if Pereira distinguished herself in the misery of Brazilian topography, and not just because she has one eye that makes her queen in the land of the blind.
Land of the blind in which the one with the greatest power, the president of the CBF, Ednaldo Rodrigues, is black and no better than his predecessors, all white, heterosexual, one even a harasser, others corrupt.
As Vinicius Junior is black and must be criticized for his unjustifiable behavior after missing the penalty against Venezuela.
Denounce the genocide in Gaza and an idiot will call you an anti-Semite.
All this to say that the team of women from Palmeiras will have to compete, away from home, on the public holiday next Wednesday (20), in the afternoon, for the decision of the Campeonato Paulista, with the conditions to emerge champion, in Campinas, at Brinco de Princess Gold.
Because the “feminist” Pereira accepted the conditions imposed to avoid confrontation with the Corinthians fans, who have a game in the morning, in Itaquera, against Cruzeiro, in the men’s game.
Why not have the women’s game at night? Or on Thursday?
In the first game, in Itaquera, 35 thousand Corinthians fans encouraged Brabas to a very hard-fought 1-0 victory.
Why have the Palestrinas been prevented from having the same support?
The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind of the Alviverde management’s indifference towards its players, invariably forced to face powerful rivals on unequal conditions.
Who is interested in women’s football? —someone will ask.
It should be of interest, at least, to feminists.
But who is this white man, with no place to speak, to expose Leila Pereira’s hypocrisies?
