Summer musings on Catch-22-like psychological choices like the pure enjoyment of the art of any kind versus focusing on unnecessary tension and hassles. It's a matter of choice, but unfortunately, it's an unconscious choice for many.

Do you remember the Crazy Gang? The original and defunct Wimbledon FC was a very interesting phenomenon years ago. Not to mention winning the FA Cup at Wembley vs Liverpool. Bobby Gould's boys were full of surprises across whole the spectrum. In my view, Wimbledon FC under Joe Kinnear's governance demonstrated even more quality for their available budget! And I wonder how much more acceptable their style of play would be for many neutral observers if Vinnie Jones wasn't such an aggressive defender, especially for those observers, who believe in the Olympic Code of Conduct, which originated in ancient PanHellenic Olympics values. In my opinion, Jones could be perfectly suited as the very harsh leader of the defensive department of ultra-conservative and obsolete catenaccio-like tactics of Sam Allardyce or Otto Rehhagel's teams.
England's next miracles - Portsmouth's FA Cup 2008 under Redknapp, Wigan's FA Cup 2013 under Martinez, and also Leicester City's both the title in 2016 (coached by Ranieri) and the FA Cup 2021(under Rodgers) as underdogs, were achieved through a friendlier oriented style of play, unlike Jones.

Later, Hollywood offered Vinnie Jones some interesting roles, in keeping with his raw gaming image on the pitch, who knows? When we look at pure cinema productions as creations of the Seventh Art (and when we touch on some of the previous Six Arts, of course), the perspective of everyday life is much improved.
Do you remember the eye-catching work style of Angelina Jolie and Vinnie Jones in Gone in Sixty Seconds? And speaking of the delicate and gentle presence of an actress like Jolie, don't forget about Jon Voight.
Despite the fact that this film is entertainment oriented for the mass audience and so far from profound art values, perhaps someone had got the perspective of enjoying the art as is, avoiding energy-destroying quarrels of any kind. Including in sporting life.
Example: Milton Keynes Dons FC and AFC Wimbledon have entered into a very ugly battle over the legacy of defunct Wimbledon FC instead of offering positive attitudes to fans of the game and the result of this is clear for both teams...
F.C. United of Manchester has been more focused on sport, avoiding major further scandals, declaring their clear opinion on the Glazer family's takeover of Manchester Utd and moving on. Both teams and their fans have focused on their future path and values for a very long time. No hassles, as far as I know. Pure art on the pitch for everyone. Sunshine is for everyone.

Looking at the Europa Conference League Draw for summer 2023, I've remembered some Balkan peculiarities with a negative connotation.
In Romania - the court scandals for the legacy of the golden Steaua București team (1986 Champions League old format Winner vs Barcelona) between the FCSB (an acronym for FC Steaua București) and CSA Steaua București. Very sad story...
In Bulgaria - the quarrels about the defunct team CSKA (Sofia)'s legacy between CSKA Sofia (Sofia) and CSKA 1948 (Sofia).
Again in Romania - I'm amazed by the existence of both SC Dinamo București and FC Dinamo București...
The battle of owners of those clubs reflected on the fans' atmosphere and cause a retreat from the ancient Olympic values and the pure joy of the game. It would be better if the variety of teams enriches the game and pleases the fans, but...
