(dessin : Stéphane Bouzon, Fakir Éditions) Corruption, dopage, chauvinisme, machisme, outil des dictateurs, diversion, achat de joueurs, achat de votes, matchs truqués : qui s’intéresse au football ne peut ignorer ces dérives récurrentes.

Comment ils nous ont volé le football

Ce sport reste pourtant l’un des plus populaires au monde, rassemblant dans plus de 17 000 clubs en France deux millions de licenciés et 200 000 bénévoles. Mais pendant que certains se retrouvaient le dimanche sur le terrain de foot caillouteux de l’association sportive du coin, l’histoire du football a épousé celle du libéralisme, devenant un business dont les enjeux financiers ont aiguisé les appétits des annonceurs, des fonds de pension et des cadres dirigeants de la FIFA.

Mascotte du Mondial: fini le blabla, place aux actes! Au Brésil, le Tatou à trois bandes (Tolypeutes tricinctus) est surnommé tatu-bola pour sa faculté à se mettre en boule.

Mascotte du Mondial: fini le blabla, place aux actes!

Mais, la comparaison entre l’animal et le ballon rond s’arrête là car, contrairement au football qui est omniprésent au pays du roi Pelé, il ne reste plus que quelques petits groupes isolés de cette espèce en danger d’extinction. Victimes de la chasse, les tatous-boule sont aussi menacés par la déforestation.

The Dark Side of Brazil: Police teargas Indians at anti-World Cup protest

Yesterday Indians brandishing bows and arrows and carrying signs reading ‘FIFA NO. DEMARCATION YES!’ Were teargassed by police. There is mounting anger at the government’s failure to recognize and protect their lands, vital for their survival, while spending millions of dollars on hosting the World Cup. The protestors who are from several tribes have forced FIFA to close the stadium, and to cancel its trophy display. A delegation of 18 indigenous protestors met the Minister of Justice yesterday. The Guarani tribe, Brazil’s largest, suffers extremely high malnutrition and suicide rates as their land has been stolen to make way for vast sugar cane plantations. Share this news story.

New study reveals world's highest suicide rate among Brazilian tribe

In 2013, at least 72 members of the Guarani tribe committed suicide (equivalent to 232 per 100,000), a rate that has nearly tripled over the last two decades. The majority of victims are between 15 and 30 years old. The news follows violent clashes between police and indigenous protestors on the eve of the FIFA World Cup in Brazil. The Guarani, who live in Brazil’s southern agricultural heartlands, have lost most of their land to cattle ranches and sugar-cane plantations, and their leaders are regularly attacked and assassinated. One Guarani man said, “There’s no future, there’s no respect, there are no jobs and there is no land where we can plant and live. Coca-Cola and FIFA's image has been contrasted with an angry Indian man demanding, 'Let the Guarani live! ' Officials Must Act on Water Shortage in Sāo Paolo with World Cup Starting in June.
