La Liga News 24/7
A brew is boiling. Spanish football fans are feeling impowered and starting to question and demand change. We mentioned the website Liga Justa on Forza Futbol (aka For a Fair League), which has mysteriously gone silent.
Now Atlético Madrid fans are mobilizing. They want the board and owners out. They want the team to be owned moreso by the fans. The Yellow and Gold Movement is growing, which is kind of similar to the Manchester United and Liverpool fan protest groups.
A new coalition, Atléticos for Change is building awareness and prominence. We hope to have representatives soon on our podcast, to share their story. We, at Forza Futbol, strongly believe, that more fan involvement and demands is desperately needed in Spanish football. All for the betterment and health of the league.
Watch and listen to this poignant video created by @AtléticosCambio or Atléticos for Change. It is in Spanish, but see below my rough, English translation. Animo Atléti!!
For a dignified Atléti (there are reasons)
Based on a survey of thousands of Atléti Fans,
Everytime Gil JR (technical director) sells a key player (see Simao),
16,000+ signatures are collected to oust Gil from the club.
Meanwhile, when Cerezo states that he is one of us (an Atléti fan),
100,000+ show how to be a real fan.
Everytime (the crook and former owner) Gil SR, bathes in his pool,
52,000 fans are supporting and encouraging their club.
Because when our team loses a final (see Copa del Rey vs Sevilla last year),
we still support our club.
Because when 1 supporter says, there is no way that we can get rid of them (the owners),
3,000 fans scream GET OUT.
Atléti Fans have more supporters than the board,
because everytime a fan gives up, thousands join the cause (Atléticos for Change).
Because they (the leaders) are rich and corrupt,
and we (the fans) have heart and hope.
There are reasons to believe in change, for a dignified Atléti,
TELL THEM TO GO!
Fuerza Atléti! Give them your support!
