Football Belongs To…
“Football
belongs to everyone”, or so
The TV
trailer dribbles, with moving
Images of
goals scored, shots saved, proving,
With men and
women, girls and boys, there’s no
Inequality
in the people’s game.
Except, of
course, clubs are the property
Of
potentates, those with the equity
And
leveraged deals, their motives the same,
Premier
profits. Players simply assets
To be bought
and sold, fans are consumers
With no
control over what occurs;
Promotion,
relegation, crippling debts.
Football
belongs to everyone et al?
No! The
whole game belongs to capital.
D. A.
