The Spanish Football Federation fined Lionel Messi between 2000 and 3000 euros for revealing a t-shirt during a goal celebration that wished his mother a happy birthday. The referee did not issue the world player of the year a yellow card, but noted this “crime” in his match report.
In today’s Disneyball, communicating anything other than an officially sanctioned marketing message or corporate sales pitch is not tolerated. Shame on Spain — reigning world champions — for punishing freedom of speech and insulting our core humanity.

It’s really a pity that things like that are happening now in football. In my country, México, these sanctions have been applied to the scoring and euphoric players for some years. The federations top dogs around the world are, of course, watching football as a trasnational business that doesn’t allow any kind of message other than the branded “original” corporate marketing. Shame on them… shame on us that allow them to do that.
