[QUOTE="Felipe, post: 1011874, member: 76332"] It is important to look at the origins of rugby in Argentina to understand the class contempt that predominates in our sport. Rugby really gained strength in Argentina during the first Peronist government (40' & 50'). During these years the popular classes have a social rise and the government promotes the practice of sport for this population. In reaction to this, the privileged classes "take refuge" in rugby, which constitutes a sort of separate and "sanitized" space for people. Needless to say, the privileged classes have always hated Peronism as the bearer of the voice of those below. Peronism, with varying degrees of success, overturned certain social hierarchies. The reaction as you can imagine was virulent on the side of the privileged classes and the mentality that reigns in Argentinian rugby bears the mark. The hateful twits of Matera, Petty and Socino cannot be understood if we overlook the historical origins of rugby. Fortunately, rugby the promotion of rugby has progressed in Argentina and exceeds the sole circle of privileged classes. However, it still preserves the values of its original core. [/QUOTE]
