Foot – Covid – The clubs would have lost 7 billion euros because of the Covid-19

The Covid-19 pandemic would have cost European football 7 billion euros over the two years, UEFA said in a report published Thursday, where it notes a sharp decline in the transfer market for the 2020 and 2021 seasons.According to UEFA, European clubs faced a shortfall of 4 billion euros in 2020, and 3 billion euros in the following season, thus interrupting a growth of twenty years in a row.

COVID: when rights collide

It is often said that in recent years we have witnessed a legalization of democratic societies. That it is no longer the politicians elected by the people who govern, but the judges, the courts. The situation will not change tomorrow. MULTIPLICATION OF RIGHTS The more rights there are in a society (animal rights, nature rights, soon the rights of trees and, why not, the rights of robots or virtual avatars), the more these rights are likely to collide. And the more judges, legal experts and constitutional experts are needed to settle the conflicts and disputes caused – precisely – by this almost exponential proliferation of rights.

Instead of throwing big numbers at us that strike the imagination, but which, when you think about it, mean nothing. Not because we want to point the finger at this or that group and distribute the blame, no. Just to get a clear picture of the situation....
