Drinking Beer - Dinamo management punishes for Vida's behaviour
I believe that drinking beer and coming for training, match or game is not a good thing. The reason is that beer has alcohol. When a person drinks, intoxication takes place where one will be not alert and becomes confused and thereby loses awareness. Reaction time will be reduced and studies have shown that this is true. One won't know what they are doing when they are intoxicated. That is why the traffic police arrest speedsters on the road, due to poor reaction time, an accident could take place anytime. In sports, people should know that if you are drunk before a match, it promotes hooliganism rather than values from sports and rowdyism can become prevalent and rampant. Children will learn the wrong values from beer-drinking adults.
Very recently, my friend told me that in Singapore he saw some gentlemen looking people who were seen running in their underwear after a match. They did not know that it was not an appropriate behaviour. It was found that they drank beer before the match. I was very surprised to hear this and hope that this will not happen again. We are supposed to teach children appropriate values from sports and not inappropriate behaviour from getting intoxicated and then behave in a hooligan manner. I believe that those who act in an inappropriate manner should be severely dealt with by the management for their irresponsible behaviour, regardless of what position they hold.
Here I have an article from Yahoo Fit to Post, Wed, 26th Sept 2012
The article shows how Dinamo Zagreb management is serious about drinking beer en route to a game.
Croatia champions Dinamo Zagreb have ordered defender Domagoj Vida to pay a 100,000 euro (S$158,466) fine for opening a can of beer on the club's bus en route to a game.
"It was the most expensive beer Vida has ever had," the Jutarnji List newspaper joked.
Coach Ante Cacic immediately ordered Vida, 23, to leave the bus,
which left on Monday for a cup game against lower flight side NK Vrsar
later on Tuesday.
"The Dinamo management has decided to punish Vida, a Croatia
international with 14 caps, with a financial penalty of 100,000 euros
for his behaviour," the club, which has won the last seven Croatian
championships said on their website.
In August, Brazilian-born Dinamo midfielder Sammir was fined 270,000
euros (S$427,858) for partying in a Zagreb night club on the eve of a
Champions League qualifying match against Moldovan side Sheriff
Tiraspol.
The average monthly salary in Croatia is around 750 euros (S$1188).
