The Paolo Di Canio bandwagon

Oh, how has Paolo became a hot topic last week! Funny that the talentless journalists praised him into heaven when they claimed he was 'appointed by Reading' just two weeks prior. Irony, now they are all silly sheep bashing him because of their lack of knowledge.

Mind you: I condemn fascism, but his personal views were known a long, long time ago. Only for those who actually observe the football world and not copycat other journalists – trying to state “EXCLUSIVE” in order to save their jobs. Some of them wrote down that Di Canio only did a fascist salute just once, but of course he did it way more often while playing for Lazio Roma. It is their club culture, and clearly a reason for me not to wish them any attention.

But what is is about Di Canio? He's a fruitcake, for sure, giving some spice to the more mentally stable elite – who can't crack any excitement into nowadays football to be fair. Have you noticed that he actually understands now that he is being seen as a 'role model', as he both got older and wiser while entering a (long term) manageral career? He knows, he tries to live to it. Politics should not get involved, and it is his to lose of course if he does any comments.

I noticed a lot of hypocrite people being the strongest followers of the 'we hate Di Canio' campaign. You only have to look at Glasgow Rangers v Celtic to understand that politics are being used in the sport of football for a long time now. But of course only attacking an individual who stated his personal views – instead of an entire team – is way more easy to target and easy to destroy. Will it work? I hope this won't. He's not really a Robin Van Persie who didn't understand the word 'no', is he?

I think it's personally best not to join the bandwagon of 'moral belief'. Did you knew that David Millibrand didn't resign due of the appointment of Di Canio, but because he had a job offered in New York? He used this situation to gain a political win only. As I began with today's article with: politics should never hijack the game of football.
