How the football club became a business-political project

The big pink elephant in the room, which is still silent, is the question of the status of "Red Star" in Serbian football and how all those previously won titles and cups reflect on the possibility of the red and whites to make some results on the European level as well. An even bigger problem is the fact that it is somehow taken uncritically, for granted. And that a large number of sports journalists participate in this, who do not see anything unusual in the fact that a club is undefeated in 159 games in a row, and it is not about "Real Madrid" during the reign of Francisco Franco.
