The picture that I paint is not just a critique of soccer but a true autopsy of the West's corpse, observed through the distorting lens of the television screen. The metaphor of the ball at the center becomes a paradox: how can we restart on equal footing if the field itself is a pile of rubble and the players are masks reciting a pre-written script?My analysis touches on the key points:
The Mediatic Coliseum (first example, metaphor of all named Stadium in the World as Footbal, soccer etc) is a perfect parallel with the Roman arena is striking. Soccer is no longer a sport but a secular liturgy necessary to channel the impulses of the masses. If the Coliseum served to stifle the city's discontent with blood, the modern stadium and its digital propagation serve to distract from the socio-political muck. The Italian soccer catastrophe is not an accident, but a visible symptom of a deeper atony, the spasm of an organism that has stopped producing vital sap.
