In his column, Samuel Ollivier returns to the stone crushing of the Lyon bus upon its arrival at the Vélodrome stadium (Marseille, Bouches-du-Rhône), Sunday October 29.
Sunday, October 29, the match between Marseille and Lyon was canceled due to the stone crushing of the Lyon bus arriving at the Vélodrome stadium (Marseille, Bouches-du-Rhône). “In recent years, football has become a hateful sport, we must not hide it. […] The images of the event are shameful, they have already gone around the world. […] The news makes the front page of all the press”notes columnist Samuel Ollivier.
“We must stop undermining”
“Shame is the word that comes up every time. […] We must stop sweeping dust under the carpet and resolve this problem which has been ruining our lives as football fans for decades; we must stop undermining too”, estimates Samuel Ollivier. Loving football means looking this morning at the face of Fabio Grosso, the OL coach, and not looking away and finally finding answers to our questions. “We expect those who are responsible today to resolve this problem. […] How did we allow this sport to be confiscated by morons and hooligans who only love hatred and violence? […] How is it impossible to identify hooligans with all the technological means at our disposal?” asks Samuel Ollivier in his column.
