The Union of Supporters’ Clubs of Atlético de Madrid was the first to publish a press release in which, after having reiterated “our absolute condemnation of any act of violence”, it specified that “it is unacceptable to apply the sanction rules with extreme tenacity when it comes to Atletiwhile looking away in the case of other teams.
“The unacceptable behavior of a few cannot serve as an alibi to criminalize an entire hobby and, even less, to be cruel towards it. Because We are talking about cruelty, make no mistake. “Unjustly punishing innocent supporters reveals the clumsiness of those whose responsibility lies precisely in delivering justice.”
