The carnage provided by fans of Sport and Santa Cruz last Saturday (1), in Recife, is not new or exclusivity Pernambuco.
It happens with greater or lesser intensity around the country and the world.
Of the very much I read about cheerleading violence, what impressed me most was the book of US journalist Bill Buford, “among the vandals”, from Companhia das Letras.
When looking for the book on Google, the rare reader and the rare reader will find the following presentation: “There is a predictable epic that fires every week amid the apparent tranquility of European cities – in particular. It is a blood -shattered adventure and shatter adventure of glass. of Panic, outrage, brutality. Drawing. You need to be a physical part of the crowd to feel your wild drunkenness. at the football stadium. And it can end at any time of the day or night in a hospital or even a cemetery. “
They will also find this text, written by me in 2014.
“The reporter proposes to make a report on Hooliganism in 1993, and, as he reveals, by mixing with the violent, is contaminated by what he calls ‘adrenaline of combat’ – what prevents him from turning off of them and the It leads to transforming what would just be a report into a book of over 200 pages.
Buford is addicted to the expectation of the clashes and makes an impressive account that he throws any simple interpretation about the phenomenon.
When we look at what happens in Brazil, just like what happens in Congo, Argentina, Russia, Sweden, with the death of fan, Italy, but not by chance, less in England that aroused Buford’s curiosity and where If you have done serious work to control the savagery, we have the extent extent.
It is clear that these are not just civilizing processes, because even in Sweden barbarism sometimes sets in.
The fact is that football has become the stage that arouses the beast beast that each brings within itself.
This is why it is necessary to stop to rethink the sport that mimics life, and vice versa, fertile ground to give reason to the English philosopher Thomas Hobbes (1588-1679), who in his classic work, “Leviathan”, showed the need for Social contract to regulate man, this “man who is the wolf of man”.
In a sentence, the need for state intervention is required to control the natural state of humanity, the state of war. A task worthy of the “13th work of Hercules”.
The horror starring the young Pernambuco gives the measure of how violence was normalized by all, to the point that the “classic of the crowds” was disputed a few hours after barbarism on the streets.
Rule repudiation notes have been repeated for decades and will change nothing.
Only the fearless action will contain the debacle, which no government did or do.
