Moggi won’t be a “sport culture” teacher

What a strange country Italy is! Each time a scandal comes out, after a period of indignation, protagonists and guilty has pulpits from which they can explain (of course without cross-examination) there is a plot against them or, if damning evidence is found, that everybody is guilty as they are.
It happened in politics, when a batch of corruption were discovered in early 90’s: in first two years, we had people’s demonstrations against politicians and in favour of judges. Then, after months and months of press campaigns, and false pretences against most representative public prosecutor, Di Pietro, a lot of people think that no one is to blame, because everybody is guilty.
The same happens now in football. Calciopoli big-name Luciano Moggi, after some wiretaps of his phone conversation with referees’ chiefs that brought his club to relegation, was firstly pointed out as the devil. Then, just because he still has a lot of allies among journalists, he became columnist of a newspaper (Libero) and special guest in some sport programs (local and national TV stations, and recently on radio station "Kiss-Kiss").
He always has a microphone, through which he says “what happened to me is paltry”, or “Never stole anything, neither a candy”, or accuse other clubs without any evidence, for example “Inter is the true “Mafia” of Italian football".
Some days ago, polytechnic school “G.B. Vico” in Agropoli (Salerno), invited him for a conference on sport education, and then he was supposed to make the opening of a “Juventus Club Luciano Moggi” that some nostalgic fans dedicated to him. And who is the organizer of these meetings? Sergio Vessicchio, a local journalist but also creator of some libellous websites like “Odio Collina” (I hate Collina) and “Dossier Inter”.
Sometimes, luckily, someone turns against this Italian way of thinking. This news has immediately created a dispute, and some students wrote to the board of supervisors. “We think it’s a bad thing that the school principal –who has to educate students- could invite a person that is investigated for a sport fraud and for this reason is not the appropriate person to teach” say in a dispatch. Minister Fioroni decided to order a review to local school and this pandemonium –here is the “happy end”- pushed Moggi to regret the invitation.
