The silence's World Cup


Well, if you are a fan of soccer you sure now that the FIFA World Cup Brazil 2014 is coming very soon. The TV news wants to make feel the people interesting and excited for the event. But that’s not the reality. By example, yesterday I saw on news that everybody in Brazil aren’t interested on World Cup. All because the social crisis that the World Cup’s organization has generated in the country. “The people in brazil is upset because the government spends the hundreds of millions of dollars on building stadiums and road infrastructure for the World Cup, and they don't spend anything on education, public health or fight against poverty or drug trafficking” said a popular brazilian writer. And seems like everybody in Brazil thinks the same way, ‘cause the cities still looking as if nothing will happen. The government's popularity has fastly decreased in last months because this organization includes a “pacification” of the most violent “favelas” or poor neighbourhoods, by example, in Rio de Janeiro. It has cost several human lives, mostly innocent children and youth used by the drug trafficking for his safety.


This news shocked me and makes me think about it. I think that the sports are good for children and youth, but the World Cup’s organization has committed several mistakes making the things that way now. When the sport activity tries to cover or silence the people demands, there is something wrong. Now I’m not so excited about this World Cup.

  6. When they started the construction of the new stadium it generated a lot of work for the Brazilian people, adults and children. I read the little girls living in front of the construction went every day to the stadium to offer their bodies to the workers. Their ages were between 9 and 13 years, and it looks like they didn’t have other option. It was very shocking. Nobody cares about the real problems.
