Second editor’s note: Transparency is.
OK so to say “vast majority” is a hasty generalization made from a limited point of view. I would say the vast majority of the youth. I´ve encountered many a Spaniard, especially of aged stature, uninterested in futbol. And myself being myself, in having conversations of considerable substance with various Spaniards have heard echoes of the whole “sports as a distraction from what´s really going on in government” thing. However, the vast majority is out in the plaza breaking glass and setting off fireworks. There have even been instances in Segovia, a relatively tranquil and not immensely urban populated city, of youth going out and staging mini riots after games, just breakin’ shit to break shit. Speaking of crazed Spaniards breaking shit at whim, I´m not going to Madrid to watch the game anymore, I think I´ll be just fine in Segovia. I´m going to a bullfight on Sunday and then after the fight they are showing the game on a big screen in the Plaza del Toros. Bueno bueno bueno.
