La nazionale di calcio del Togo crivellata di proiettili, giocatori morti, e una Coppa d’Africa che va avanti pur con il lutto a rotolare sul prato assieme al pallone. Non è la prima volta che lo sport internazionale decide di non fermarsi. Lo did, for just one day after the massacre of Monaco, during the games of 1972 in which 11 Israeli athletes were killed , killed by an armed Palestinian terrorists, in what is categorized as the darkest page of the sport of last century. A tragedy for this far into the future and sometimes too quickly forgotten.
Not like memories of the Heysel tragedy still alive in the hearts and minds of the Italians: a day of celebration tramutatasi in a day of shame for many and the death of 32 Italians and 29 May 1985 that were never League Cup Final between Juventus and Liverpool. A charge of England fans, the flight of the Italians and the total inability to who would provide security. People crushed people, in the air a sense of astonished anguish for a war, not an attack, but waiting for a game of football was still played. A tragedy that served as a warning and which had its shameful replica all'Hillsborough Stadium in Sheffield, in the final, this time suspended, the FA Cup between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest April 15, 1989. The victims were 96 .
Football is full tragic events over which it has acted differently. The death of Vincenzo Paparelli during a Lazio-Roma derby on October 28, '79, hit by a rocket launched from the opposite corner, or death of Gabriele Sandri, the Lazio fan, November 11, 2007, killed by a bullet from an agent in a service area along the A1, are not enough to stop it. What happened instead after the murder of police inspector Filippo Raciti , who died outside the Massimino stadium in Catania for a shot to the liver received from a fan and for which the Series A and institutions decided to think it through .
Sometimes that happens, however, arise from tragedies myths, legends that alleviate the inherent drama nell'ineluttabilità of death, because it was decided that the sport must go on. A tragic fate took away Ayrton Senna in Grand Prix, according to many, non si sarebbe nemmeno dovuto correre a causa della morte, per incidente, in prova, il giorno prima del pilota austriaco Roland Ratzenberger . E invece, il circus non si fermò, la gara prese il via e quell'ultimo giro del brasiliano divenne leggendario ancor più delle sue vittorie. Un botto pazzesco , un casco frantumato, la bandiera austriaca (con la quale avrebbe reso omaggio al collega scomparso il giorno prima) intrisa di sangue, le lacrime di un giovane Schumacher in conferenza stampa, poi il silenzio. Come quello che accompagnò il successo, sempre a Imola, del pilota tedesco che riuscì a correre e a vincere nonostante la morte della mamma Elisabeth avvenuta soltanto 24 ore prima. Quella volta la emotion after the race showed a sensitivity not recognized when Schumacher said he wanted to run after all.
Yet the heroes par excellence in the sports literature are those who long played the "game of death" August 9, 1942 at the Zenith Stadium in Kiev. Player of real Dynamo and Lokomotiv against Nazi officers. Guns pointed and one way out and even certain: the defeat. In eleven decided to win, but in nine lost their lives ....
