This is a post I wrote after the Champions League semifinal second leg between Real Madrid & Bayern Munich in response to the extremely biased commentary on the Jazeera network. This is also in response to the one dimensional comments posted across social media portals on Real Madrid & Barcelona performances.
To the Jazeera Generation:
I will present a few breaking news to you on this lovely morning:
1- Football is an ancient sport, it did not actually start in 2003 (when Jazeera started broadcasting the Spanish League)
2- The fact that your beloved Jazeera isnt drooling over a player such as Alaba does not mean the man can't play football
3- The fact that your beloved Jazeera isnt worshiping a team or showing their glorious history on repeat does not make the club small. Exhibit A: Bayern Munich
4- Football commentary is not poetry and looking for the next rhyme; football commentary is not worshiping players like Messi and Ronaldo; football commentary is not declaring in the middle of a Champions League Semi Final 'I have no Idea how this team or that team deserve to reach the final'. What football commentary should be is tactical analysis, highlighting gaps within a team or player performance. Team/player worshiping is not commentary
5- Believe it or not but there are in fact more than 2 teams in world football as demonstrated by Bayern and Chelsea over the last 2 days
Oh, and finally, Santa doesn't exist...
