Once upon a time, all you needed to play soccer was a t-shirt, shoes and a ball. For us humans it is also Super Tele, which if kicked hard will change direction at least three or four times before reaching the target. If it comes. And after all, the ball is white with black squares, and you can see it clearly. The only exception, for Serie A matches, is the orange ball when played in the snow. Since you have time, there’s no frenzy of shoveling the entire field: you clean it up a bit and then go.
Then the TV arrived, the winter balls turned yellow (but tennis took care of that) and that was enough. Except, because everything now has to be sold (and at a high price), something new has to be created every year. So the rainbow jersey, a color that has nothing to do with team colors but for marketing geniuses always refers to something historical. And now – to be precise – the ball is always orange, or rather neon red.
We have seen him work since the day of this championship, or rather we would like to: because in reality, he disappeared on the green. It becomes a crazy lightning bolt that appears here and there when combined ton sur ton with t-shirts. The geniuses above explain that “the goal is to obtain a better view in all conditions”, in fact it depends on which point of view (for them it is economical). But this time there was no air due to protests from the audience.
Among them there are those who think that the red ball coincides with the day against violence against women, but they are optimistic: the marketing geniuses have not thought much about this, it is too easy. However, the ball was an embarrassing shade of red.
