The struggle over the changes in the various incentives in Israeli sports, including changing the structure of 'Athena' and emptying it of content that was first revealed in 'Israel Today', reached new heights tonight (Monday), when the chairman of the National Sports Council, Eric Pinto, blew up the meeting and cut off the zoom. In the middle when even earlier he had managed to slap opponents of changing the outline that they are: "face of the state".
Pinto expected that the decisions taken by the sports ministry led by the powerful man in the ministry, Dudu Malka would go through without any glitches, revealed that some of those present in the room were not ready to serve as rubber seals.
Opponents of his proposal included Hapoel Center chairman Yehoram Orenstein, Israeli Olympic Committee CEO Gili Lustig, Judo Association chairman Eric Ponty and Athena founder Dafna Lang.
The person who disappeared a moment before the vote was the chairman of the Football Association, Oren Hasson, who was connected throughout the meeting, but at the moment of the vote, he disappeared.
It is currently unclear what will happen to the council and what will happen following the unexpected explosion of the yeshiva.
Sports ministry officials estimated that despite the sticks in the wheels stuck today by opponents, chances are that after the winds calm down all the changes brewed by Malka and his team will be implemented by Eric Pinto who will get the required majority.
