The decision of the Football Association's court to fine Maccabi Haifa following the ceremony for the "Variety" children, and Maccabi Tel Aviv for a similar ceremony with children with special needs, caused outrage among the clubs, but not only. "It's not the money," said a Maccabi official Haifa, "1,000 shekels is not what a big club in the Premier League will rise and fall on.
There is something here that is much bigger and more important than a minute delay in the start of the game."
And there are the children themselves and their parents, who received the news in shock.
One of them (his name is withheld in the system), whose home suffers from cerebral palsy, told Israel Hayom: "It hurt as if I had been fined on a personal level. What exactly sits in the courts and makes these decisions? Instead of encouraging the soccer clubs to bring in such special children, children It's wonderful that teams like Maccabi Haifa and Maccabi Tel Aviv make them smile and be happy, get excited and be kings for one evening, these judges, or judges, I don't know what they are, just spoiled everything for us.
I'm ashamed".
By the way, in their decision, the judge Giora Landau noted that "these ceremonies are welcome and help in promoting additional values and giving our football a more cultural status."
He later stated that "it is proper to stick to the written times" and imposed the fine on the teams.
