Brazil’s Olympic Committee (COB) on Friday suspended award-winning volleyball player Wallace Desouza from “all sporting activities” under the company’s control as a precaution, because he posted a poll on Instagram asking his followers if they did. Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva was shot in the face.
The decision was made by the COB Ethics Board, which stated that “proposing, soliciting or inciting the use of guns to shoot the highest authority in the country” was inconsistent with the expected and required behavior of an Olympic champion .
The consultant No bubble he defined.
Roberto Dinamite, Pelé, Maria Lenk and Esther Bueno not only had the honor of being champions, but also had the responsibility of educating generations who, regardless of their political views, should be guided by ethical and moral principles.
The suspension stems from a complaint from the Attorney General’s Office of Legal Affairs, which also sought a R$100,000 (approximately US$20,000) fine for the gold medalist at the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics.
COB’s ethics committee gave the Brazilian athlete five days to present his defense, after which the case will be re-analyzed for a final decision.
Wallace has already been suspended indefinitely by his club, Cruzeiro, who have apologized to close friends. 370,000 Instagram followers poured into President Lula’s face.
The athlete, an acknowledged fan of former president Jair Bolsonaro, responded to the poll in response to a comment from a follower about a photo of her holding a gun.
However, he removed the controversial poll hours later, but it didn’t stop the Brazilian government and other authorities from announcing a lawsuit.
Finally be Bello.
Civil society, and especially the world of Olympism, must stay away from the violence and irrationality suggested in the publications. Minimizing such acts not only implies a reckless omission in defense of rationality, it also sends the wrong signal to normalize the absurd and create chaos.
