The Korea Football Association needs to convince the public by revealing a clear reason for the amnesty.

The Korea Football Association held a board of directors meeting in the conference room of the Seoul World Cup Stadium on the afternoon of the 28th and decided to pardon 100 soccer players who are being disciplined. Those subject to pardon are former and current players, coaches, referees, and group executives who are being disciplined for various misconduct. Among those targeted are 48 players who were expelled in 2011 for match-fixing in professional football. It is the first time in 14 years since 2009 that the association has carried out an amnesty. 온라인카지노

It was announced not long before the Uruguay match, and the amnesty issue was largely buried. Due to the results of the Uruguay match, Lee Kang-in’s performance, and Kim Min-jae’s interview, stories related to amnesty issues have become more difficult to find. It is an issue that needs to be taken very seriously. First of all, it becomes a problem that the players who have been involved in the match fixing are bought. In sports, match-fixing is an act of damaging values, ridiculing fans, and sinking the reputation of the sport to the ground

. It is an incomprehensible judgment to grant a pardon when it is not enough to pursue the eradication of match-fixing through lifelong discipline.

It is also important to pay close attention to the pardon of football figures and executives of organizations who were overshadowed by match-fixing players but who were disciplined for various misconduct. Even if it is not match-fixing, it is very difficult to understand that the perpetrators are pardoned in droves regardless of the opinions of the victims. In the press release of the Korea Football Association, only 48 players who were expelled for match-fixing were specified, but it was difficult to know who they were as the other perpetrators who were pardoned did not record what kind of misconduct they committed.

The background of the amnesty proposed by the Korea Football Association is absurd. “We congratulated ourselves on advancing to the 10th consecutive FIFA World Cup last year and advancing to the round of 16 at the Qatar World Cup, and reflected the opinions of the frontlines who proposed an amnesty for harmony and a new start in the football world. There is also the purpose of giving another chance to soccer players who are judged to have reflected on themselves.”

It is unknown in what sense it is unifying to forgive and pardon those who have harmed the development of football, rather than praising the players and staff who worked hard for the World Cup. It is still difficult to understand even if the amnesty was limited to those who had passed more than half of the disciplinary period, excluding those who were involved in sexual violence and sexual harassment and who were prone to match manipulation.

There is no guarantee that those pardoned will commit crimes in the same way or in a different way. Still, it should be pointed out that it is clearly a problem that those who committed serious misconduct were pardoned en masse without going through lengthy discussions and public consent.

It is necessary to explain the exact background rather than ending with a press release on the results of the board of directors. The popularity of soccer and the interest in the K-League are amplifying due to the recent soccer boom after the World Cup in Qatar.
