What mechanism makes us condemn
the corruption of a politician
but we applaud the scam
of a soccer player?

From its first publication, this essay became the center of the most heated debates in France and soon crossed its borders, turning its two authors into regular speakers, columnists or guests in an inescapable discussion; How the strength and influence of football in today's society has served as a catalyst for the worst behaviors, being its ability to attract enough to hide dark, criminal, corrupt actions, so that football has in many cases replaced the idea of politics, art, architecture, ethics and other currents of thought, and with it has been dumbing down and reducing power to the reason why every society aspires.
At a time when the construction of a stadium, whose costs, in absolute waste, exceed hundreds of millions of euros, is celebrated with excitement, at a time when corruption is a cause of frustration and anger, it is requested to condone the debts of those stars, erected in heroes who are the footballers for not paying their taxes and celebrating the release of leaders who have stolen and are even elected for public office, at a time when dictatorships are fought, the racism, insolvency ?, football has become a refuge for many of these attitudes, softening its negative effect and granting them an aura of false respectability.
In short, in an era where football has infected ideas and reason as a plague, contaminating with its effect many scourges that we should be fighting, this book is a plea to combat them and realize that we need to remove the veils that prevent us from seeing their effects on contemporary thinking.
