    Nice to see my Athletic Club represented on one of these lists. While the cantera/local player policy does have political ramifications, I wouldn't say that the club is more nationalist or "separatist" than Real Sociedad. La Real used to have the same policy until 1989 (only gave it up due to Basque talent being either bought by rich clubs or Athletic), and their region votes more for radical nationalist/separatist parties than Athletic Clubs. Within the Athletic Club-Real Sociedad Rivalry, there is a mutual respect on the level of them both being clubs with strong Basque identities (this doesn't apply to Eibar, Alavés, and Osasuna, for various reasons)... so if anything, I think it should be a tie between the two teams. While outsiders view Athletic as more political because of its policies, from fan perspective, they're equally political.

      Why it doesnt apply to alaves, osasuna and eibar???

    • @nicsmith7689
      @nicsmith7689 Před 3 lety +17

      ​@@zzz5094 1. Alaves's region, Alava, has more cultural links to Castille than the coastal provinces, and except for certain pockets in the regional capital, there isn't as much Basque nationalist sentiment. The region just gave a seat in Basque parliament to a neo-fascist pro-Spain party. They're proud to be the government capital of the Basque Autonomous community, but they tend to be of the "I'm Basque, but also Spanish" ideology. Still, much of their advertisements and slogans are in Basque, because in the Basque Autonomous Community they're trying to make it an institutional language. Also, most clubs in Galicia, Catalunya and Valencia do this with their regional languages, and it's not seen as nationalist. (Even the club called ESPANYOL has slogans in Catalán all over its stadium)
      2. Osasuna is in Pamplona, which has lots of nationalists and Basque speakers, so there is a strong nationalist contingent of Osasuna fans. That said, Osasuna is the only top-level professional team in the Chartered Community of Navarre, which has deep Basque cultural roots in the north, but also very conservative Spanish areas in the south, where no Basque is spoken. Regardless of ideology or mother tongue, most people in Navarre support Osasuna, so the fandom is split somewhat evenly between nationalists and centralists. I don't know firsthand if this creates tension between Osasuna fans. (Edit: On twitter, lots of people will get angry if you call Osasuna a Basque club, but once you remind them that their name is literally the Basque word for "health", they usually shut up.)
      3. Eibar was founded right after the Spanish civil war, so for their first 40 years or so of existence they couldn't develop institutional ties to Basque nationalism or identity. While the town itself is very Basque, the club has risen to prominence in recent years through its ability to sign players on the cheap and resell them at profit. They don't have a significant local youth program that I know of. The only Basque players they sign are typically Real Sociedad or Athletic youth players who couldn't find a spot in the senior team, and the two big clubs typically buy them back if they show any promise (see Ander Capa and Dani Garcia). People love them because they are a smartly managed club. They represent the opposite end of the spectrum from Athletic's policy.
      La Real and Athletic were created and had success during the peak years of the first wave of Basque nationalism (1896-1936). Furthermore, they represent the regional capitals of the two "most Basque" areas: Bizkaia, where Basque nationalism was founded, and Gipuzkoa, where more Basque is spoken and there are more rural traditions. They both have had Basque-only policies for most of their histories. After Franco died, the clubs became synonymous with the push to legalize the Basque national flag and other manifestations of national identity. I could go on like this, but ultimately they are two evenly matched rivals from the two unquestionably Basque regions.

Btw, im a F.C.Porto fan, but my father is galician, and he say that he's Galician and not Spanish, although in Galiza they're not so Separatist as in the Basque country or Cataluna, but still, i love all the clubs that represent and take proud of their region like Athletic,and that's why i liked the club since i was a kid, specialy the just play basque players policy.

    Athletic Club doesnt discriminate players by their etnicity or their place of birth.
    Two good examples are Iñaki Williams and Christian Ganea.
    Iñaki's parents moved from Ghana to the Basque Country and he was born in Bilbao. Nowadays he is one of the most important players of the team (and hopefully we will also see his brother in the future since he is playing in the academy).
    On the other hand, Cristian Ganea wasn't born in the Basque Country. He was born in Romania instead. He moved to the Basque Country when he was 12 years old and years later he signed for Athletic Club.
    You can't consider the Club being racist. Usually people who say that is because of ignorance

      I oppose racism and I am about as right wing as they come politically. So what exactly is your point? Leftism "feels" good and that's why you and others like you admire it so much. It "feels" good to simply say "I oppose racism/bigotry/etc", but it doesn't MEAN anything. So what is racism? Calling someone different than you a nasty name? No, that's just being a nasty person. People have the right to be nasty, and then they can deal with the consequences. If that was racism, the whole world would be racist. How about telling someone you are banned from joining our team because of what you look like, believe, what your sexual orientation is, etc. Yes, that would be. And I am on the right and would never support such a thing. Racism and bigotry is not synonymous with politics. The left likes to paint this picture of that uneducated, knuckle dragging right wing hater but that is absolute nonsense. Read up on South American countries sometime, most of the big ones anyways. They are some of the most racist places on the planet and they are all run by left wing governments. Not saying right wingers can't be racist because they can, and are. But your political views do not definite your views on race. That is an entirely separate thing, usually life experience and culture.

They have totally altered the meaning of left wing to the point that, as a nonwhite person, I now learn to associate the word "left" with people like him. And while they claim to be "tolerant" they sure as fuck are NOT.

      @Bosco's box Left-wing nationalism isn't about expelling people. It's about creating polities defined by their rightful owners. The North of Ireland is occupied from Westminster, Irish republicans want to change that, they don't want to force out protestants and unionists who have equal representation on the flag of Ireland as catholics. In much the same way Palestine is occupied by a settler colonial state. We should abolish that state, not force out Jewish people, many of whom have lived in Palestine peacefully with their Muslim and Christian neighbours for centuries.

    Katidis story was a little sad actually. From what I read from comments during that time period he truly didn't know because he skipped most of school in favour of football. He was even the captain of the U-21 Greek team that made it in the European U-21 final only to lose to Spain. He just saw it and thought it was cool. There was also some movement of supporting him by using the same gesture but in the end he failed his career

      Saying racism is bad and branding yourself as an anti racist are two different things. One is political and one is not. I agree racism is bad, but I am not an anti racist...in the same sense that I believe adultery is bad, alcoholism is bad, and just plain being a mean nasty person is bad, but none of these things are illegal, and if you want to be a bad person you have every right to be so, and deal with the consequences thereof. To me there is a big difference.

      @@digitalfootballer9032 I dont see how theres a difference. You seem to be caught up in polarized labels also and are ignoring definitions. By you saying you think racism is bad that then in turn makes you an anti-racist. If you witnessed someone being a racist and called them out then you are being anti-racist. Being an anti-racist is not being anti-free speech which I think you're implying unless I read that wrong. It's simply being a person who doesn't put up with it and calls it out. Imo if you don't call it out or back people calling it out then you dont really think its bad as you are tolerating it. I just think people need to stop letting the news and the internet twist definitions and assign their own agenda to them when they are simple things such as being against racism.
