Innocentists? Guilty parties? Justicialists? Guarantors? Regarding the case of the “rigged” exam in favor of Suárez at the University for Foreigners of Perugia, there are no certainties about the perpetrators. Clues, traces, investigations … Let the investigations continue. They all become lawyers, experts, linguists and above all judges, but the sentences that we find these days on social networks and beyond are not: they are, for the most part, desires, resentments, fears. Rudimentary equations like: “Cherubini is from Umbria, so it is logical that he called him at the University of Perugia.” or: “Cherubini is from Umbria, Perugia is in Umbria, ergo is the Umbrian-Juventus mafia” and so on.
There are no certainties, we repeat. Let the investigations continue (even if the Perugia prosecutor has temporarily blocked them), without exaggerating and without minimizing. Let’s hope. However, on the other hand, in the case of the “Italian test” at least one thing is clear to date. The power, the fascination of football and the great team, which overwhelms everything: rules, institutions, roles. The rector Olivero (the one from the University of Perugia not to be confused with the other for foreigners) sees in the possibility of examining a famous soccer player an opportunity not to be missed for the city, a “place” for Perugia. At one time, universities awarded honorary degrees to scientists, writers, scholars, artists; today they are impatient to be promoted to a playmaker, a central defender, a goalkeeper. It was difficult for a rector to do everything possible after a phone call with an emissary of a soccer team, but now he gets excited because, as will be said later, “this (Paratici) counts more than Mattarella”.
Of course, it is part of the general drift, which began many years ago and which happened with the name of “society of the spectacle” or reduction of politics and culture (and reality) to mere spectacle, scene, appearance that the networks They certainly did not invent. but exasperated. If Fedez or Morgan give lectures at the University, why shouldn’t an honest pedestrian worth 10 million euros a year be beaten? We may not be in an era where Briatore is not considered a maitre d (d’hotel), but a guru of which “thoughts and words” are reported h. 24?
The other element is typhus, which cuts through and transcends everything, as if the dimension (and representation) of football were a creed detached from any limit, a zone free of personality, an indisputable and unstoppable passion, incapable of knowing limits. “With him (always Suarez) we won the Champions League”Said the professor of glottology and linguistics. Stefania espina, overwhelmed by a Dionysian ecstasy in front of the champion, leaving aside, apparently, more elementary deontological dilemmas. Yes, soccer is a faith.
