Does 'the red' unite or separate?

The Spanish men's soccer team has caused a whistle at the La Salle school in Palma de Mallorca –not to be confused with Palma del Río, Bressol for bullfighters–, due to the pure patriotism of the students, who planted a Spanish flag in the classroom and ended up expelled.

Does 'the red' unite or separate?

The Spanish men's soccer team has caused a whistle at the La Salle school in Palma de Mallorca –not to be confused with Palma del Río, Bressol for bullfighters–, due to the pure patriotism of the students, who planted a Spanish flag in the classroom and ended up expelled.

Heroes or villains?

The matter, you will forgive me, calls for détente. Thirty first-year high school students put the rojigualda in class to express their support for the red and the Catalan teacher –perhaps allergic to Qatar 2022– demands its withdrawal. The insubordinates invoke the endorsement of the head of studies –another one who likes sobrassada sandwiches and the World Cup, like me–, but the teacher takes out the red cardboard –like a Babacan Turk in the battle of Glasgow– and when they get to home, the father of a cardholder forms the tangana.

–The teacher has a hobby for Spain!

The matter festers with threats to the teacher, in whose defense the Balearic president, Francina Armengol, comes out, who accuses the high school graduates of rebelliousness and exalts the principle of teaching authority. Come on, Rosa Parks in Alabama but with roles reversed...

And now that? The urgent thing is to avoid prosecution and make the students see that they can support Luis Enrique's by sending them a collection through Bizum, demonstrating before the Japanese consulate general – the red's next rival – or bellowing “Magaluf, Spanish!” instead of enervating the teacher, who has enough with pronouns and the crossing of groups, lest she teach class on the day of the round of 16.

Instead of encouraging indiscipline, the La Salle camp should cool down the game and organize a brotherhood dinner to watch the Spain-Japan game on a giant screen on Thursday and give the teacher a red shirt –signed by the utilleros–, the Balearic soccer encyclopedia and a ticket to Qatar for the World Cup final or, failing that, an apartment on the third line of the beach in Torremolinos, by way of reparation.

That the red one does not separate what the Treasury, the Christmas fat man and Jaime I united in that way!
