At present, the world-renowned World Cup football match is being held in Middle East Country Qatar . Judging from the situation in the first week, this World Cup can be said to be "constant situation". First, before the start of the game, some European teams such as Germany, France, Wales , Belgium , etc. hoped to wear a "rainbow seal" when playing to express their support for homosexuals. As a result, they were banned by FIFA (FIFA ), but after that, some players still showed "three-color rainbow" on their jerseys and sneakers. After
, the United States once again carried out "political intervention in sports". When announcing the group standings, it maliciously tampered with the Iranian flag and erased the Iranian national emblem. Afterwards, Tehran protested and asked FIFA to fire the US team from this World Cup.
These two things have not completely passed. A few days later, something even more outrageous happened in the World Cup. Some fans actually showed the "Azov Camp" flag in the stands. After it was confiscated, the Ukrainian player also asked FIFA to apologize.
According to reports from Global Times , recently, in the World Cup group stage Germany vs Spain, a Spanish fan showed a flag of Ukraine's "Azov Camp" in the stands, which also attracted the attention of the event organizers and international media. Minutes later, FIFA staff took the flag away because they violated the rules and such behavior was "forbidden". Subsequently, Ukrainian football player Zozuliya posted a message saying that FIFA staff were "the victim of Russian propaganda" and asked FIFA to come forward to apologize.
First of all, let’s talk about what this “Azov Camp” is. It is an armed organization of Ukraine and is affiliated with the National Guard of the Ukrainian Ministry of the Interior. In addition to Ukrainians, it also includes far-right wing personnel from the United Kingdom, France, Italy, Brazil, Czech , Spain, Norway, Sweden and other countries, and foreign mercenaries .
In addition to these countries, the "Azov Camp" also has members from the "Nuclear Weapon Division" of the United States' neo-Nazi terrorist organization. However, no matter where the personnel come from, one of the most prominent signs of the "Azov Camp" is that the backbone is all members of the Nazi organization, and they have the characteristics of neo-Nazism or white supremacist, and are the right among the right wings.
data shows that there are more than 30 such military organizations in Ukraine. The reason why the "Azov Camp" has attracted the attention of the outside world is because it is the largest. Since 2014, Ukrainian "Azov Camp" has been inflicted on atrocities in the Ukrainian Donbas area, including illegal detention of civilians, electric punishment, waterboarding, sexual assault, etc., and even created a "massacre", but it has not been punished, because Kiev supports "Azov Camp", and even listed it as a regular army and regarded as a trump army.
Secondly, "Azov Camp" was eliminated, and some people want to summon it, of course they have to take care of it. After Russia took "special military action" against Ukraine, the first phase of the goal included "de-Nazization". At Mariupol Azov Steel Plant, after nearly three months of siege, Russia completely destroyed the "Azov Camp" and eliminated the criminal neo-Nazi military organization.
World War II , the German Nazis brought huge disasters to the world. The world eliminated the Nazis after a arduous bloody war. Unexpectedly, the Nazis not only did not break their roots, but now there are new Nazis, and they are supported by the government.
This point is not accepted by the international community. FIFA confiscated the flag of the "Azov Camp" and prohibited related actions. What's wrong with it? Football is football. As a fan, just look at your ball. What should I do if I do these things? Do you want to commemorate the "Azov Camp" or waving the flag for the neo-Nazis? As the organizer of the event, FIFA will of course take care of you because your actions are indeed a bit too much.
Finally, should FIFA apologize for this matter? I'm afraid not, and there is no need for this. Because anti-Nazi is not a matter of Russia, but also the common responsibility of the international community.Nowadays, in some Western countries, under the guise of human rights, they advocate "absolute freedom" and have to be "focused" on "opposing the Nazis". There is no need to give them face at all. Just like when the COVID-19 outbreak, some people in the West oppose wearing masks, blockades and isolation, and call for freedom. In the end, not only pay the price of their lives, but also make many innocent people involved, which is shameful.
I have to say that the World Cup is still in the group stage, and the "context" is constantly coming. I don't know what will happen further. Politics has never left sports. However, what is most concerned is the game itself.
