It would seem that in the 21st century you know what you can and cannot do. It is something that is enshrined in the doctrine of the “state of law”. However, it is adequate that a circular ball appears on the football field and we fall into gross inconsistency.
No, it's not a joke. It took a week in Polish football to prove that “legality” is an misunderstood concept and it is very easy for individual to get hurt. The Kielce Crown Match with Radom Radom is not a specified league skirmish, but a match against the most popular sports arena in the country of 2 disputed regions. This dispute goes far beyond sports, but the league match at the highest level evidently brings them to head both parties. It's no surprise. I guess only the Extraclass authorities didn't know that, setting a game date for... 12:15 on Sunday, after changing time to summer. Prior to the match there was a celebrated rapper Liroy and it was with his hit part Scyzoric, referring to the identity of Kielce in general. The rappers of their performance were surrounded by offensive gestures towards Radomian supporters. The crown will cost 25,000 gold. It's OK, right?
But a fewer days later, it is played with... a 10-month hold in the match about the Polish Super Bowl. According to the recipe, it should be hosted by the Polish champion, which did not happen, due to the fact that he refused to accept fans of the Vistula Kraków. So the office moved the gathering to the National Stadium, but it was the Jagiello fans who boycotted it. The result? Negative attendance evidence on a supposedly prestigious match. But that's a sidekick. Why do Vistula fans meet a boycott from unfriended clubs and can't they go to an distant match? due to the fact that White Star fans did not join the “anti-ware package”!
You're going to ask what an anti-ware package is. A bill? A resolution? How about an act of local law? No, the unwritten agreement of informal cheerleading groups to usage only human body in fights between them. The signatories of the pact can only fight each another with bare fists. But the Wiślacy did not “sign” it, so it boycotts them. And although this is just a conspiracy of fan groups, not a legal act, it has legal effects in practice. Wisła Kraków is regularly deprived of the right to authorise organized groups of its own fans for distant matches. The rules are murky adequate that almost everyone with a small creativity is able to do so. Warta Poznań, for example, openly admits that he joins the boycott due to the fact that she herself does not want to be boycotted.
It's a parade, isn't it? Polish law involuntaryly sanctions agreements between informally active groups whose intent is to commit crimes (that is what fans' fights are under the law). So back to the title, you don't know what you can and can't do.
And I wouldn't want to be misunderstood. It's a good thing more household fans make specified agreements. However, it is better that fights – since they are inactive taking place – take place without serious harm or even victims in people. We should besides consider whether there is any sense of penalising specified behaviours, since we let akin behaviours, and even advance them as “fights in the octagon”, erstwhile 1 of the celebrities wants to remember himself.
Only why in the case of a match between the Crown and Radom, erstwhile it is known that emotions are both negative and all viewer realizes that he is going to a “high-risk game” the league committee abruptly pretends to be sacred and right, punishing the club for Liroy's performance, and in the case of a boycott of Vistula supporters, which ends with a flap on the National, we do not even hide that the conclusive is any act concluded by informal groups, by way not legislative?
