“The real masters of football today are the super agents of footballers who manage immense flows of money”. This was said by the bishop of Acerra and president of the Episcopal Conference of Campania, Monsignor Antonio Di Donna, during the homily for the celebration of the patron saints of the city, San Cuono and son.
“The real champions are our martyrs - he said - I take this term from sports language, with the beautiful championship victory of Napoli.
We are happy, we say 'go Napoli', we said it, we also like to watch the matches, but we know that football has long been a business, a big deal, and those that the people - like a new pagan people who worship the god of football - call the champions of the sport, in reality are not: the real masters of football today are the super agents of the players who manage immense flows of money".
“The real champions are those who work hard every day - He continued - for truth, for justice and for peace, they are honest people who do not bow to the powerful and even if they pay in person they bear witness to the fundamental values of social and human life such as the value of justice, democracy and truth".
