Željko signed, but be careful, Vučić might get really angry

Our president is not a vindictive man. But only a man. It hits him when he hears from the stands that some call him a "fag". But the president still helped. That's what a man is like.

This could be concluded on the basis of the testimony of the first person of the Partizan basketball club Ostoje Mijailović stated at the press conference since Zeljko Obradovic signed a new contract.

That should be digested first - the most trophy-winning coach in the history of Europe remains in Partizan, but it is not big enough news not to be additionally embellished by the mention of Vučić.

Covic does not have those problems

Mijailović admittedly said that he was helping his party friend, but elsewhere he said that Partizan was suffering "reputational and financial" damage due to insults from the stands and that it needed conditions to collect money.

That is, it would be convenient - for both Mijailović and Partizan - to appear as a supplicant in front of Vučić without the ballast of Partizan's fans shouting "Vučić a fag" last night.

Let's take, for example, Nebojša Čović. He doesn't have that ballast. That is why it is rumored that Zvezda was paid a few million more this year than Partizan. The schemes are always the same, from the budget it is transferred somewhere, and then from there to the club's account.

There are many "informed" people in our clubs, even more than experts in geopolitics.

But even those in the know say that Partizan got dark since Željko Obradović not only did not want to be on the list of supporters of the progressives, but dared to say that Partizan, if you're sorry, earns some of its own money.

President Vučić then ran to the television to rebuke Obradović, and then Zvezda and Partizan, not to be outdone, came with Excel tables showing how much the country was giving.

There are two schools of thought about this - one that says that top football is not the business of the state nor should it be financed with public money. And another one who says that basketball is an excellent advertisement for Belgrade and Serbia and that, after all, the clubs are state-owned, so let the state help them.

But that's not what we're talking about here. But about that - let's hear from Mijailović! - that giving depends on the president's whims. If he finds himself even more severely offended, he may not even be worth a dinar.

Childish insults and insults

Mijailović, who over the years has turned out to be a bit more of a partisan than a progressive, probably had trouble explaining to the supreme leader that he still needs to guarantee some budget and keep Željko Obradović.

Childish chanting at the president (and others) isn't wrong just because it's offensive. But also because it divides the people who gathered in the hall around Partizan - which should be the only party, religion and passion there. After all, there are so many rallies and protests where one can scream at Vučić.

And if he wasn't so eager for universal adoration, he would stop whining to the national media about being called a "fag" so maybe those fans would get bored too.

This way, there is every chance that the game will continue - chanting, quick fingers of the tone-master of the state Arena Sport, Mijailović's announcements and justifications, Vučić's anger, fuss over the budget.

That all of this is even a topic on the day when the contract was extended by the greatest European coach of all time, I said, is not normal. But we're used to it.
