– In Rome, after the disaster of Monte Mario, another fire devastates the city. This time too the bonfire would have broken out in a camp abusivein this case of Roma. Now, instead of complaining about the heat that fuels fires, wouldn’t it be better to prevent extreme situations caused by man? In that camp there was a landfill (also this one, illegal) where everything was dumped. And do you know what the paradox is? They ask us mere mortals to separate even the plastic cap by leaving it attached to the bottle, but then they turn a blind eye to clear, evident and unworthy environmental horrors. Left unresolved so as not to appear not very inclusive.
– Yesterday we were talking about the populist and sugary choice of Sergio Mattarella to invite the athletes who came in fourth to the “medal ceremony”. Good. Today Stephen Subtle26 years old, fourth in the high jump, explains why for him that wooden medal is not “a joke”. “I came fourth in the Olympic high jump final, clearing 2 meters and 34 on the first attempt, my personal best, the second best Italian measurement ever after Gimbo’s 2.39. If they had told me the day before, I wouldn’t have signed because it would have seemed like a joke”. We agree with Sottile, which doesn’t undermine the reasoning made previously: you go to the Olympics to win and fourth place sucks. The point is to understand what the ambitions of each athlete are: not everyone is a medalist and Sottile, at the beginning of the Olympics, was not. Then he was good and he is right to claim fourth place having surpassed his personal best by winning “the race of his life”. But this does not mean that he should be rewarded at the Quirinale: his fourth place should be considered a “positive” placement, starting from behind; but “if you are the favorite, fourth place can be a terrible joke”.
– The prosecution of Monza asked for the case of mistreatment of female athletes to be dropped Emanuel Macaroni And Olga Tishinarespectively technical director and assistant of the Butterflies of rhythmic gymnastics. You will say: so what? The point is that you may not remember, but the press campaign against these two ladies had been ferocious: violence, humiliation, scandals, complaints, warnings. As usual, the newspapers had already condemned them without even passing through the go. Republic he even made a longform titled “The factory of unhappiness” telling how “rhythmic gymnastics burns its Butterflies”. “A story of abuse of power, humiliation and verbal harassment”. Now the prosecution is asking for the case to be archived. I am not saying that those girls did not suffer in their own way, every personal story must always be respected. But from here to creating the monster there is a long way to go. Question: who will compensate Maccarani for all the mud of these years?
– For once we have to agree with Charles Calendar. Who will be excessively exposed in the media, will have his many defects, in electoral terms will count for little, but he is not foolish. And unlike Renzi, Carletto does not believe that the “Field Very wide” from Matteonzo to Angelo Bonelli may have some political future. The reason is simple. “The ‘everyone against Meloni’ doesn’t work, it’s not politics”. Because it’s one thing to win the elections, for which a Brancaleone Army with everyone inside can be enough. It’s another thing to govern: at that point you have to divide up the ministries; decide whether to support Kiev or not; whether to side with Gaza or Israel; whether to lower taxes for businesses or workers. And then the minimum wage, the green transition, the Superbonus, the justicial justice. “The Campo largo without a minimum government program doesn’t exist”, says Calenda. And for once he’s right.
– The news of the day? The panda of the Zoo Of Berlin she’s pregnant again. And that tells you everything about how eventful this August 13th has been.
– Donald Trump promises during the election campaign to exempt tips from taxes and Biden what is he doing? After four years in government, a period in which he could have implemented the fiscal measures he wanted, he says he is ready to sign a law to “steal” the idea from The Donald. What a gentleman.
– So let me get this straight: for two weeks we’ve been talking about Imane Khalifof her presumed intersexual condition, of her chromosomes and her hormones; Giorgia Meloni consoled Angela Carini; Minister Abodi protested against the IOC; Salvini lashed out against gender follies; Eugenia Roccella did the same; and then we discover that the first one to bring transsexual will it really be Italy at the Olympics? It’s called Valentina Petrillois an athlete, and was selected by the Italian Paralympic Committee for the women’s 200 and 400 meters (category T12) of the Paralympic Games in Paris that will begin on August 28. She was born a man, won 11 national titles when she was still a boy and now she will compete with the Italian insignia against women despite having grown up in a male body until, with the help of hormones, she returned to the parameters set by the International Paralympic Committee and World Para Athletics. At this point I ask myself: on what basis did Italy protest against Khelif if she herself will bring a trans to the Olympics? Sorry, but something doesn’t add up here.
– Apparently theSaudi Arabia would have offered 350 million euros per year to Vinicius and a billion euros to Real Madrid to free him. It’s madness, a way to buy what the Saudi sports movement can’t produce. However business is business: Vinicius declares eternal love to Real, like the old flags of the past, gaining all our respect; or take the first plane. Do you have any idea how much 350 million euros a year is?
– I don’t know if there was a racist intent behind it.
But who defaced the murals Of Paola Egonu “coloring” his skin pink is a complete idiot. Period. Without any kind of conspiracy theories about the racism that is prevalent among Italians: in every social class there is a percentage of imbeciles. And the author of this gesture fits perfectly into this category.
