Former Manchester City captain said bans for supporters and stadium closures are a red herring
前曼城隊長表示:禁止支持者進場與空場比賽只是紮稻草人
Belgian defender Vincent Kompany believes that racism in football can be truly tackled only when there is diversity in the boardroom, which he said was not the case at the moment.
比利時後衛文森特孔帕尼相信,足球界的種族歧視只能在董事會內多元化構成時,才能真正被改變,而他表示現下的狀況並非如此。
The former Manchester City captain said talk of stadium closures and bans for supporters was a red herring and the real issue was in the offices of soccer federations and clubs.
這位前曼城隊長談及,空場比賽、禁止支持者入場只是紮稻草人打(Perez譯註:紅鲱魚意指打獵時的誘餌,引申為煙霧彈、掩人耳目),而真正的問題會在於足協、足球俱樂部的會議室內。
“If you go through the entire landscape of football ... every single board, every single management room will have no diversity,” he said during an event organised by the global players’ union FIFPro. “There no representation whatsoever... As much as zero percent in most of those boardrooms.”
「如果你綜觀整個足球界......每個董事、每個管理層的會議,都沒有多元性的展現,」他在全球球員聯盟FIFPro舉辦的活動中這麼表示。「無論怎麼說,那裏都沒有可以代表不同族裔的人...在絕大部分的董事長會議室內都是零。」
European football has been plagued by cases of racism with high profile incidents in Italy, England, the Netherlands and Bulgaria among others in the past few months.
歐洲足球被許多在義大利、英格蘭、荷蘭與保加利亞與其他國家,近幾個月發生的引人注目的種族歧視案件困擾。
Kompany, a member of FIFPro’s new Global Player Council which is designed to give players a greater voice, said it was wrong to focus just on repression.
孔帕尼,FIFPro新設計來讓球員方更有聲量的全球性球員理事會成員,表示僅僅聚焦在抑制此行為是錯誤的。
“Somebody makes a monkey chant and we want to ban him for 10 years ... or deduct 15 points. But we are looking at the wrong issue,” said Kompany, who now plays for Belgian club Anderlecht. “The issue is that people making the policies have absolutely no diversity, and that also means gender diversity, to even start a debate on what the most appropriate measure is.”
「有些人做了首猴子隊歌,然後我們想禁他入場十年......或是扣掉球隊15分。但我們聚焦在錯誤的方向了。」現在為比利時球隊皇家安德萊赫特效力的孔帕尼言道:「問題是現在人們制定的政策是完全沒有多元思維的,這同時意味著缺乏性別多元的觀念,這甚至引發了怎麼樣的處置方式才是最妥當的討論。」
The 33-year-old said he was struggling to get his point across. “I have been saying this for two years and I’ve got nowhere,” he said. “Nobody is walking through the corridors (of power) thinking this is a main topic.”
這位33歲的球員表示,他很難讓別人理解他的觀點,他表示:「我主張這件事情足足兩年,但是寸步未近,沒有人在掌管(權力)的廊道上認真覺得這是重點。」
He said those from ethnic minorities faced a “glass ceiling” when they tried to get into positions of power.
他表示,那些在試著卡上權力位置的少數族裔,會面對到「玻璃天花板」。
“You know from the start of your life that there are positions you are never going to get to ... because you didn’t grow up in this environment, you didn’t go to the same school as these guys,” he said.
“The best term is the glass ceiling... You are walking up those stairs and you see how high you can go and all of a sudden you bounce against this invisible wall where you can’t go up any further and everybody else can.”
孔帕尼指出:「你會明白,當你不是在某個環境中生長、不是在某個那些人念的學校上學,而從你人生的起頭就有你永遠沒辦法搆著的位置,這就是所謂玻璃天花板的最好詮釋......你攀上階梯,並且你看得到你能攀到多高,一瞬間你被一道讓你不能爬得更高,但其他人可以的看不見的牆擋住。」
