<\/a>My father used to take my brother and me to the CU<\/span><\/i> sta\u00addium when we were kids. I never felt a strong attach\u00adment for the Pumas<\/i> and that was long befo\u00adre I stu\u00addied in the Uni\u00adver\u00adsity, but going to the sta\u00addium was an inti\u00adma\u00adte adven\u00adtu\u00adre bet\u00adween the three of us, sha\u00adring the foot\u00adball lan\u00adgua\u00adge and rituals. From tho\u00adse days I remem\u00adber the ama\u00adzing goals of Luis Gar\u00adc\u00eda, Jor\u00adge Cam\u00adpos, and the cle\u00adver phra\u00adses from the Pumas sup\u00adpor\u00adters that sud\u00addenly bro\u00adke the crow\u00add\u2019s hustle after a silen\u00adce that hoo\u00adve\u00adred any other noise.<\/p>\n

I remem\u00adber the cold weather, may\u00adbe cau\u00adsed by the cement seats and the strong draughts. On tho\u00adse days I have just seen a movie about Chi\u00advas<\/i>, from the Cam\u00adpeo\u00adn\u00ed\u00adsi\u00admo<\/i> period. Becau\u00adse of that, Luis Gar\u00adc\u00eda\u2019s goals, the color of Cam\u00adpos and the influen\u00adce of The Won\u00adder Years<\/i> series, every mid\u00adday at the sta\u00addium besi\u00addes follo\u00adwing the game, I narra\u00adted myself the sce\u00adne as if I was remem\u00adbe\u00adring it in a very dis\u00adtant futu\u00adre, as if I was living a his\u00adto\u00adric moment. I don\u2019t totally recall tho\u00adse narra\u00adtions but I was\u00adn\u2019t mis\u00adta\u00adken by thin\u00adking that tho\u00adse expe\u00adrien\u00adces would be his\u00adto\u00adric and unre\u00adpea\u00adta\u00adble. That what we tell our\u00adsel\u00adves about our pre\u00adsent (even in a fake nos\u00adtal\u00adgic ten\u00adse) is not neces\u00adsa\u00adrily what sha\u00adpes and lea\u00adves a mark on us. The stamp is the shock, the sound of a ball being kic\u00adked utterly hard, the roa\u00adring of the crowd, the fra\u00adgran\u00adce of the ate<\/i> gua\u00adva candy given away by the More\u00adlia<\/i> rival fans.<\/p>\n

Last Novem\u00adber the 20th<\/sup>, thou\u00adsands of peo\u00adple of many colors and from every cor\u00adner of the country mar\u00adched together, aching, outra\u00adged and fed up. When I saw this kid with the UNAM<\/span><\/i> flag I wan\u00adted to look what he was loo\u00adking, to ima\u00adgi\u00adne what was thri\u00adlling him, and how he sill narra\u00adte him\u00adself that after\u00adnoon when he held the flag along with his family, among so many peo\u00adple, uni\u00adted, screa\u00adming and singing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
