Football in 2020 is either feast or famine. After a hiatus of three months, the “beautiful game” (™ Pele) is back today. A total of 92 games will be played over the next 90 days, to complete this interrupted season. There will be no spectators at the grounds. Essential staff, and media folk, will be temperature checked on entry, and restricted to particular areas of the ground. Players are instructed not to spit, or to jump on each other after a goal; they are being told, instead, to run towards the ‘celebration camera’.
Fans watching the games on TV will be able to watch in near silence… or switch on fake ‘fan noise’. They can even dial in the level of racist abuse they want to hear during the game, from ‘mild’ to ‘vile’. Apparently, fan noise with no racist content at all will not be available, due to “technical issues”…
