Hope dies first. The cascade model has not even been properly introduced yet; it has already failed. In any case, it is on its last legs. How else can the events of Easter Monday be classified?
Naturally, the short-term opening of the guest sector in St. Gallen, which was effectively closed, was the most sensible solution in this situation. But if you compare that with the big words of mid-March, when the cantonal police and justice directors announced that they would single-handedly introduce the cascade model for the next season, despite some serious reservations from the competition, clubs and science, then Monday’s events are not only questionable in terms of the rule of law, but also quite embarrassing.
The authorities had to withdraw their own measure. Those who recently marked the strongman ended up swearing in front of some football fans. The fans pulled their pants down and made fun of them.
Why don’t we finally start with the real perpetrators of violence?
The reality check shows that the announced collective punishments against fan violence are ineffective. Maybe it’s a wake-up call at the right time. Perhaps the eager sector closers in the offices now realize that they have to start elsewhere.
For example, where the goal is to punish real perpetrators of violence. Recently, one of the torch throwers from the Zurich Derby ended up in court. The verdict: a suspended prison sentence of 17 months and a fine of 200 francs. For throwing a flaming torch into a crowd in October 2021. Ridiculous.
Meanwhile, nothing of the sort happened in St. Gall. That is right, because the vast majority of violent incidents related to football happen outside stadiums. Another indication that we are moving away from the misconception that closed fan sectors would solve real problems.
