Olympic chiefs ate a bit: now I and world competitions are not recommended in Russia. Obviously, not doping then the strength, just had once again to kick Russia, which, in the opinion of the masters of the world, digs.
And they can understand that quite recently it seemed that Russia is no longer, and suddenly – there. This is our main fault. And doping is a trifle, an excuse. We need to understand that there is no correction of behavior will not help. To “fix” Russia may in one way: to stop being. Won in the 90-ies briskly walked in the direction of nothingness, tearing applause of the West, and then stopped. Continued b-line 90 – and no b doping does not arise.
This doping scandal gives the country a wonderful, unique, happiest chance and opens an excellent window of opportunity, as expressed by our Anglo-Saxon friends. By the way, one of them a sure thing once said: an optimist in every difficulty sees an opportunity. Truly right, sir Winnie. That’s exactly what we should do: take advantage of the opportunity.
What is the opportunity? But what to abolish is finally a professional sport.
At the Berlin Olympics in 1936 the Soviet people was not there, but the SPORT in the USSR.
This is long overdue – and here is a Golden opportunity. Pushing us to do so the course of things. And we happiness your can’t see all the whining, beaten pup at someone else’s door, cling to this cumbersome, extremely expensive and useless, degenerate, long foul carcass – professional sports. Professional sports with its sale to athletes and coaches, the play for fun crowd idle, consuming the spectacle with beer and chips is a complete analog of the ancient Roman gladiatorial arena of the era of decline. These are the spectacles that combined with the gratuitous distribution of bread to the Roman DCFS, was an important part of the policy. Was it to keep an idle populace entertained, distracted and did not think to rebel. Exactly for this there is a professional sport today.
Professional sports, evasively called “high performance sport” refers to something decadent. The decline is society, which feels in need and says something important and valuable.
How to abolish professional sports? Yes, just. To declare that in our country there are no professional sports. Professionals – all home. Officials, organizers, all these chapels, or as they there call that costs a millions of dollars, the professional runners, jumpers – all home. Obviously: we do not participate in all these competitions, Championships and other such performances. What do we have? Is physical education. Mass. Free. Truly for all, in deed and not in words.
Huge funds, which today vbuhivayut in professional sport, have to go to mass physical education. Let every yard will have a little stadium and your PE teacher who will be in the morning to bring the people in charge. Maybe even two teacher: for adults and for children.
The teacher must have knowledge and physical culture, and dietetics, to be able to give advice on how to eat right to not gain weight. Today all sit at the TV and cheer for professional athletes. The car and the computer generates more and more flabby and fatty. Be the healthiest people in the world – that’s really good and respectable goal. And look at the TV as some guy, puffing, will raise the bar several tons? Where is the achievement? For a human it’s too much, but crane is still not enough.
Here it is necessary to invest in that, that every Russian was a beautiful, cheerful, fit.
Whether athletes hold competitions? Maybe. But this contest will not purchase the Legionnaires and ordinary people.
At the dawn of Soviet power, the Bolsheviks rejected professional sports as a bourgeois invention. Then broke took. From a long-standing rejection of professional sports is preserved surviving to the end of the Soviet regime sanctimonious assertion that the alleged professional sport we have. Professional athletes posing as workers, engineers, military.
But what about the spectacle and the highest achievements? There are circus, ballet on ice, you can still work something out. Only this should not be linked with the “honor of the country” and other bombastic and sentimental matters.
Am well aware: today, such ideas can not be accepted. Today we are struggling to be “not worse than men.” But the world is changing fast, and in fact, ideological. I think Russian thought may well come to the realization that not resemblance and imitation, but rather originality and uniqueness to stand out from the ranks and surpass their rivals. And then it will be drawn attention to professional sports – I mean its abolition.
