A NEW SEASON OF SPORT

Sunday was the first game of the year for ice hockey between Ambrosiana Milano and Lecco.
It is incredible that every player must pay almost a thousand dollars, plus all the equipment, to play in series C1. At the end of the game the score was 15 to 0 in favor of Ambrosiana, the team Max plays for, but Lecco was a good opponent, very good and competitive.

Reading in the news says that some gambler earned a million euros, to practice sports that are often the center of scandal and fraud, makes me nauseous. At times the athletes know little the value of sport: although the riches and the fame that they begin to receive doing a work that they love, often they begin to play poorly or to miss practice.

We would have to all work together for another reality and to support athletes who practice sport wrongly to begin to understand how much heart and passion we want them to have for practicing true SPORT.
