Henry, another player politicized: "Catalonia is not Spain"

Thierry Henry, who has two seasons with FC Barcelona, snapped a statement in a Catalan newspaper that will delight the independence, but not taste the rest. According to him, "Catalonia is not Spain, and that has to feel it."

Maybe they are just unwelcome statements or the player would not express their ideas well, because what he said then (when you get here you realize all the people who follow the team ") does not go much with the political issue, but certainly not the first time that athletes of any kind get in over your head to comment on things that really do not concern them (or themselves, but they say as if they were best placed to lead the respectable with their opinions).

Thierry Henry's statements will surely delight Joan Laporta, president more than once he has taken his political vein to come and say that Catalonia should not form part of Spain, but one thing is clear: Catalonia, today, is part of Spain. And the FC Barcelona play, to my knowledge, in the Spanish League, like their athletes to the national team come when called (and there are many Spanish representatives in the various sports teams).

Enough already faced politicians, and thus society, with this theme over to warm the atmosphere by statements of a player, to make matters worse you probably do not know what you mean, just because time has been living in Spain. That yes, maybe all this is taken out of context and Henry has not seen a football fan all his life and was shocked by the FC Barcelona fans, as respectable as any other team.

The sport is sport. Politics is politics. Not mix, Henry, do not mix.
