translated from Spanish: FIFA vs AMFpro, a very uneven fight

The work done by Alvaro Ortiz at the head of the Mexican Association of Professional Footballers seems very well-intentioned, because it seeks to respect the labor rights of his members. That is why Ortiz decided to send a letter to the International Federation of Associated Football requesting his intervention and help for the decision made by the Mexican Football Federation and Liga MX in times of pandemic, to eliminate the promotion and relegation for the next six years. The highest body that governs this discipline on the planet has already sent him the answer in which he informs and dismisses his request, since it is a local case that must be resolved right there. That is, as the popular Antonio Pichurria Reyes colloquially puts it, “this fight is chueca”, because facing FIFA as the AMFpro led by Alvaro Ortiz did, it was difficult for him to win the match. In the first instance, because we believe that FIFA, since before Alvaro Ortiz’s letter arrived, was already aware of the FMF’s plans to eliminate the Promotion tournament and because it was an affiliate of his, who represents votes in his favor, was not going to turn him against. The last possibility that detracts from Ortiz and his people is to go and sue the Court of Arbitration for Sport (TAS), but as things have been moved, we already see very difficult that the unhappy will get favored and finally they will have to resign themselves to what the Liga MX and FMF offer them compensation. Time will agree with us. Nine. We came across a photo of the Extra Crown team, which was one of those who flavored First Force football in the 70s and in it come players with which we had to share their friendship and enjoy shells on a court. One of them, but already ahead of us on the journey without return was Escar Gil, the famous Gilón, was a real train on the court for his tremendous corpulence and already incartangle, a threat to the defense that wanted to stop him. Well, to know how old he was that Academy Abandoned us on the earthly plane, we communicated with his brother Felipe “Conono” Gil, another footballer with a red bone to take away our doubt. The Conono told us that his dear carnal, on April 9th, served nine years of his unfortunate departure. Undoubtedly, a tremendous player, but also Gilon was an excellent human being. And we will try to continue to remember in our coming comments to the old glories of The football of Culiacan, both alive and those that have already gone to heaven. Reflection. Knowing how to put ourselves in the shoes of others will help us understand them much better.
