Football
A new student has come to school. It comes from Ireland. The mother of Bilbao and the Irish father of pure strain.
The girl does not know Basque but speaks perfectly Spanish. The teacher puts him on the blackboard to introduce himself to his new colleagues and, once finished, whoever asks him questions.
He has finished his presentation, he has not lengthened much, and the new colleagues have begun to ask them.
After two or three usual questions and answers, a boy playing on a football team of sufficient level in the area of Bilbao, raises his hand and with a sarcastic smile, asks the following question in a transversal way to his colleagues:
In Ireland, why are they so bad? Boys don't play football?
I don't hate football, I like it, but I think our kids and young people also have other sports that we should remember more times.
Assent gestures, smiles and some hit on the back of all football players in the class.
The professor has stood up to say something to football fans, wants to control it all the first day, but he has not had time to pronounce anything, the new Irish student has been ahead of him.
In Ireland boys play rugby, in football they play the “pringaues”, the weak, those who do not serve rugby.
Leaving aside the orgasm of those who love rugby, those who hate football and those who fight for the integration of women (we all love a little now the new student), a lesson for the students of our center.
I do not know the organisation of other areas of the Basque Country in the field of school sport, but in Bizkaia, at least in the area of Bilbao, what is almost everything, for fear that everything is not too much, is football.
I don't hate football, I like it, but I think our kids and young people also have other sports that we should remember more times.
