A militant who used violence at the rally also spoke on Sunday. He posted on Facebook.
“It’s funny when the Lithuanian WAKO Federation suspends me for a year, even though I haven’t participated in their competition in my life. I haven’t even been to their events. I don’t know anything and I haven’t interacted with anyone from that federation.
You may have wanted to raise your profile or image that way, but who needs it?
Now any organization can promotintis My last name? Someone to cling to ass?
In my opinion, this is a cheap and deplorable advertisement for the federation.
It’s also sad when the club I played sports for literally sold me to the media.
They say “I abused their trust, I lied to the club and the reputation of the coaches.”
But nobody lied about anything, on the contrary, the club knew the whole truth about my actions and participation in the rally.
Why they slandered me so much against all of Lithuania, I have no idea.
I also don’t understand who needed to do that at all. Sometimes … those who don’t ask must keep quiet.
As one person said:
Coaches are like second parents. But do parents leave their children when a child does something wrong?
Real parents don’t teach and nurture. Bad parents deny them.
And I would say:
Sport is sport, politics is politics.
And those things cannot be mixed, “writes A. Misiūnas.
Delphi recalls that on Friday the Sparta Fight Gym announced that it apologized for the hasty move and severed all ties with Arnold Misiūnas.
“It is always difficult to admit that you are wrong, but when you do, you have to do it and apologize. It is also difficult for us today, but not because we need to make it public, it is what allows us to correct our mistake. However, we still have a hard time understanding. and accept that the person who represented our club abused our trust and first of his actions and then lied and damaged the reputation of the club that had admitted him into its ranks, in general and specifically to all his trusted colleagues and coaches. .
Yes, we are talking about Arnoldas Misiūnas and Wednesday night events at the Seimas of the Republic of Lithuania. After the first reports of their possible participation, we awaited the response from Arnold himself and only then did we give our opinion on the situation, since trust in its members is one of the most important values of the Sparta Fight Gym Club. But an equally important value is total intolerance to aggression and violence. And after today we received both video and photographic material with images of Arnold, and there is no doubt that both values have been mentioned, we inform that we completely distance ourselves from Arnold Misiūnas and from this moment we terminate any relationship with him .
We want to emphasize once again that we condemn the actions of absolutely all rioters, because violence in no way can be justified and does not lead to a solution to problems, but only creates new ones.
We also apologize to everyone who was disappointed in our initial reaction yesterday. We are not asking to understand why, yesterday we had a different position towards Arnold, but we hope that our apology will be heard and we want to wait for it to be accepted, “says the official Sparta Fight Gym Facebook page.
On Thursday, the Sparta Fight Gym, represented by A. Misiūnas, had expressed a slightly different opinion.
“Dear friends of Sparta Fight Gym! We receive more and more questions about the situation of the video with a person participating in the riots near the Seimas of the Republic of Lithuania, who for some people is similar to the athlete of our club, Arnoldas Misiūnas .
We discussed it with Arnold and got his firm response that although he was at the rally and after him at the Seimas, he was not involved in the riots and was not recorded on video.
We trust our athletes and club friend-clients, so we do not see any reason to take harsh action against a representative of our club, although we believe that it was not worth it to attend an unauthorized rally after the legally allotted time.
However, we want to assure you that one of the main values of Sparta Fight Gym is total intolerance of aggression and violence, and we condemn the actions of the rioters against the police officers who were overseeing the legitimate government and order of Lithuania. So if it turns out that one of our club’s athletes was involved in the riots, we will terminate any relationship with him due to breach of Sparta Fight Gym values and denigration of our name.
We would also like to express our sincere appreciation to all the officials who have ensured public safety during the riots. Just thanks for your work! “Wrote the club on the social network.
Still, this log appears to have added kerosene to the fire that day. Comments began to fill with angry messages that the club in that position was only covering up for its fighter.
“Do you consider people idiots, do you position yourself as such?” Asked Miko’s famous jutuber Paulius Mikolaitis-Paul bravely.
“Are you kidding yourself here, are you trying to dilute others?” Another commenter told him.
“There was an opportunity to distance himself from the fighter, who distinguished himself more not in the ring, but behind him. But you did not do that to deceive others. It is a great disappointment,” wrote the third.
“It’s a shame that you can’t even recognize your athlete or you don’t want to,” said another netizen.
The federation has taken tough measures
On Thursday, the Lithuanian Kickboxing Federation distributed a message on the WAKO social network. It says that a wrestler who has been actively involved in the riots loses the right to appear in the competition for one year.
“Dear friends, athletes, fans of martial arts! – The federation applied on Facebook. – We respond to information we receive about a person who participated in the riots near the Seimas of the Republic of Lithuania.
As you know, the Lithuanian Kickboxing Federation does not tolerate violence, does not in any way justify aggression and behavior that directly contradicts our values.
An athlete who combines not only his own name, but also the name of a sports club or sport, will be suspended for one year and will not be able to participate in the competition. We explain the details to you, thanks to all who are not indifferent! “
Delphi after contacting the federation, he reaffirmed that this decision had been made specifically at the direction of Mr. Misiūnas.
