[QUOTE="Felipe, post: 1011873, member: 76332"] As an Argentinian I want to give you an idea that is the opposite of that of my compatriot Cruz del Sur. I believe that these opposing visions may interest our friends at the forum on other issues in Argentine rugby. He said Matera was mistaken, but he was the object of a political complot steeped in hypocrisy. I believe that this vision is very harmful to the development of rugby beyond its original circle. We are asked to be self-critical. Now is definitely not the time to be victimized. In this I fully support Agustin Pichot who says it clearly: "WE have to be self-critical". As for the hypocrisy Cruz del Sur talks about ... This is precisely the argument that we are not entitled to make. The people of rugby in Argentina are known to exhibit "their values", the "values of rugby". Earlier this year, a group of rugby players from the privileged classes murdered a young class member. "We're going to kill you black ****". These were the last words the boy heard before he died. Outside the circle that plays rugby we are seen in Argentina as the height of hypocrisy. To offload Matera, or at least to deflect attention, he seeks to put the government in the spotlight. I want to make it clear that the overwhelming majority of people who play rugby in Argentina vote against the current government (the Peronist government). Conversely, the common people vote for it. It is time to unearth the presumption of moral superiority that reigns in Argentine rugby if we really aspire to popularize our sport [/QUOTE]
