Today is the Heysel tragedy anniversary to remind that violence still affects football. 30 years ago before the Champions final between Juventus and Liverpool 39 persons died and 600 injured. The Heysel tragedy was one of the darkest moments of modern football, where violence took over sport values, and changed a game into a nightmare.
The marathon is a sport event that brings people together, spectators and athletes, in the desire to spend a day of joy. For many running the marathon is the realization of a dream, it’s the expression of their vitality, a journey full of personal meanings. This day for Boston is also the celebration of the Patriot’s Day, the beginning of the independence war of the American colonies by the British Empire. Moreover this year the last kilometers of the race had been dedicated to children and teachers involved in the massacre of Newtown, the city where a man, few months ago, made a killing in the elementary school. Whoever did this wanted to break this dream and make us feel helpless.
