(en) Brazil, UNIPA, The status of the fans, the criminalization of organized supporters and gentrification of football (pt)

Opportunistic speech governismo that the fight against the World Cup in Brazil is not the 
Brazilian people is totally false. The official line is that the "other people love 
football" and therefore not contraporia Cup. ---- On the other hand there is a discourse 
among the alleged aware, that football is "the opium of the people" and that the process 
of alienation of the masses would by denial of football, nothing could be more false! ---- 
The Latin American football, since its inception was influenced by different currents 
classist workers from different theoretical frameworks. Several teams that were born from 
the direct influence of classism and today are just big companies. ---- Even with the 
development of the commodification of football, this continued to be linked to the policy. 
The fight against Corinthian Democracy Civil-Military Dictatorship reflects this process 
at national level. Similar cases occurred worldwide.

Recently the popular uprising in Egypt has exposed symptomatic of how the role of 
organized supporters. In a context in which trade unions and student organizations were 
outlawed, organized supporters played a major role in the popular mobilizations.

Although less intense as the popular uprising last year had an important role of organized 
supporters in some twisted cities are rivals to fight the common enemy: the state.

The disorganization of organized

The discontent of the fans is connected to the gentrification of the stadiums and the 
criminalization of the twisted process. The criminalization of the fans comes from the Fan 
Statute that, similar to what the unions did to the Trade Union Charter mode, tutored 
twisted the judgment of the State.

Thus, the speech pattern of construction of stadiums FIFA added with the initial purpose 
of the Statute of the Fan that was elitizar football to restrict / limit / criminalize 
supporters that are the complement of football and part of Brazilian popular culture.

The construction of these stadiums purpose was to prevent people's access to football, 
just note that one of the main characteristics of these was the elimination of the 
"general", popular space in which the ticket cost only 1 dollar. Today tickets plus very 
expensive suit the time of the end of the novels, further elitizando stages.

In June last year, despite all the rivalry, we organized several uniting to fight the 
state and its policy of gentrification via World Cup stadiums. The only way to defeat the 
Statute of the Fan and the growing gentrification of the stadiums / commodification of 
football is on the union of organized against the state.

FOOTBALL FOR THE PEOPLE!

WILL NOT HAVE COPA!
