The best-case scenario surrounding the PSG Féminine incident is that it ends quickly and justly. The worst case, for all involved, is that it drags on for months
When people talk about the Tonya Harding-Nancy Kerrigan mess, what often gets lost is that the scheme worked. Sort of.
It didn’t turn out that way. Harding busted a lace at the Winter Games, cried to the judges and finished eighth. Kerrigan finished second and got caught on a hot mic saying “This is so corny” as she was paraded through Disney World. Neither competed at the highest level again.But if you’re more a fan of Machiavelli than, there’s another way of looking at it. That it wasn’t so much a colossally stupid idea as a poorly executed one.
As they pulled up outside Hamraoui’s home, two men in balaclavas set upon them. They pulled Hamraoui out of the car and beat her with iron bars. The assault particularly targeted her legs. The attackers stole nothing and left. “The club is paying close attention to the progress of the proceedings and will study what action to take,” PSG said in a statement.First things first – nothing’s been proved one way or the other. Maybe this is a terrible mix-up, or someone looking to stitch up a blameless person in order to get an easier ride for themselves.What amazes me is not that such a thing can happen, but that it happens so rarely. There is no glory in our culture quite like athletic glory.
Abetted by the content-hungry public – including the part that will howl loudest about the unfairness of it all – the media will pick over both their lives until there’s nothing left but bone. The best-case scenario is that it ends quickly and justly. The worst case, for all involved, is that it drags on for months.
