Leading article, written by Fr. Jarek Wąsowicza, entitled "Can raise fan?" Presented below. In the January issue of fan behavior, amongst others, write Andrew Duffek (in the "Parental care" talking about the common fan behavior and his son Maciej), prof.

Bosco) and Mrs. Margaret Tadrzak - Mazurka (deputy editor of the magazine Don Bosco" report about the January pilgrimage to Jasna Gora supporters entitled "The Two Faces Fan)
Is it possible to raise the fan?
World fans seems to be be a world independent. In 70.ubiegłego century, when Poland's largest sports clubs around there were the first Reply Reply organized environment, this is out of control, even then authorities who wanted to control everything, after all.
This independence has resulted in political demonstrations in the stadiums, which in the 80s took, mainly due to the Gdansk Lechia supporters, the nature of mass occurrences. Environment called. "Kiboli" escaped to all the rules of sociological classification. Because it is difficult to include such a diverse group of classic youth subcultures. Reply Reply do not necessarily create a movement among young people, not necessarily derived from the so-called. "Underclass," and often contrary to traditional families, well educated, with a stable financial situation. The common denominator is a fascination in this group sport, all share a love for the club and its colors, the city and region, from which they originated, the environment is an important feature of allegiance to the commonly accepted values.
dark sides of the coin
supporters world phenomenon is not monochromatic, it is rather a very complex reality. On the one hand it creates the dark side of the supporters of the environment, which is well known to the average reader the media. Because, as the irony of fate, it was the stadium hooligans are a kind of media darlings. Hit the front pages of widely read newspapers and information services to the popular television stations on each row with the police or so. "Ustawce. Studies are filled with the experts who speak about the tragic incidents advise the application of penalties, arrests, accelerated colleges. By the way all fans are thrown into one bag: hooligans, ultras. When I listen to TV shows such instances of educators, sociologists, psychologists, police whizzes "kiboli" I ask myself, not so much about their competence (because, after such statements shows a complete ignorance of the world's supporters), but why, in order to heal the situation does not propose solutions to prevention, just always repressive. Do not see any concrete ideas for preventing violence in the stadiums.
Unfortunately, it seems that this is not an oversight, an inability to build prevention programs, but the planned action. Hooligan crews do not take out of nowhere, so you really are well recognized by agencies involved in policing them. Because this is basically a criminal phenomenon and should be well organized in the interest of the country to which the resolution of such cases should be. I just need to want to really solve it, rather than on the occasion of "hearing from kibolami" to handle matters of some interest groups, which, for reasons of business depends on the destruction of This multi-color and multi-threaded phenomenon. For today's oligarchs football fan is a classic customer, prepared for the show with the sausages, the obligatory popcorn, Coca-Cola and hundreds of gadgets. Disciplined (place at the stadium have been numbered, as in the cinema during the film session) and a passive consumer of sports games, you can easily manipulate and just buy, without ideas and without roots.
good side of the coin
With such a model has nothing to do true "kibol" put the team in good times and bad, arrogant, but loyal, honorable, identifying with the environment to which it belongs, by its commitment to independent thinking. These fans will never do with his club, and loved ones of color next item in the supermarket.
Today, supporters of the environment is one of the few independent groups that are based on a pervasive political correctness. They pay attention to the matter deliberately left unsaid, many call a spade a spade, shape attitudes patriotic attachment to their "small homelands", honoring the Polish heroes, which are forgotten, not only in the media, but increasingly frequently in school history textbooks.
Last year, the Polish football fans from different parts of the country in an organized way participated in the celebrations connected with the tragedy of Smolensk: righteous on guard of the coffins and the presidential couple participated in Krakow, Warsaw and Gdansk in the funeral ceremonies of key people in the country. Supporters in organized groups to pray and to celebrate the beatification of Fr. Jerzy Popieluszko, martyr of Solidarity. As every year commemorated the Warsaw uprising, taking care not only about their graves, but roztoczyć trying to have regular care of the living participants in those events.
In many places in Polish stadiums, contrary to political correctness, reminded supporters that "17 September 1939 a fourth partition of Polish" (PZPN as always vigilant "rewarded" for supporters to penalties). They also participated in the great march of independence in Warsaw on 11 November. Finally, commemorated the victims of the December 1970 and martial law, demanding the punishment of those responsible for crimes committed in the nation, in Poznan and paid tribute to the heroes of the Greater Poland Uprising. This is a contribution supporters of the environment to promoting patriotism, and as described very briefly.
Education by cheering
kibicowskiego Promoting good side of the world that involves so many young people is our parental duty. Cheering with all the positive things that come with it, creates a perfect space to, as he wanted to Don Bosco, educate young people on the good Christians and upright citizens. Around common to all values, you can now build the unity of this environment. For the true "kibola" One of them is certainly patriotism, honor, and for many also God. Are you sure you should find the good and positive ideas which kibicowskim traffic is really a lot. Unable to concentrate, in the wake of media message, the mentioned above dark sides of this environment, because it does not lead to anything. For patriotic reasons, you must also defend all independent initiatives that promote the truth about Polish history, but unfortunately, contrary to state policy, and the fans in this respect are the most organized and active communities.
reasons cited above, pose space, which allows the Salesians of three years now to organize a pilgrimage to Jasna Gora supporters. Rationale for engaging in this project strengthens the entire tradition of our congregation. St. John Bosco saw the sport one of the basic space in which educates the young generation. One of his most famous sayings of parenting is the sentence "pitch full of the devil is dead." He also depended on education to the patriotic values \u200b\u200band those which arise from the message of the gospel of Christ.
