Controversy erupts

Controversy erupts on social media after Varese’s discount. The red and white club, which had one and a half feet in A2, was handed back 5 points in the standings.

A decision that is not surprising but has unleashed the fans of the other teams engaged in the fight not to relegate: new tail-end Scaligera Verona, Napoli, Trieste, Reggio Emilia, which have 20 points, Treviso and Scafati, which have 21 points. Varese, which lost to Reyer on Sunday, was at 16 and now has 21.

“First 16 points, now 11 but on what basis are penalty points decided?” writes Silvia. “Either you haven’t committed anything, and then no penalty, or else, as it should be, you go to A2,” Massimo observes. “Varese will now be saved, but if by the intersection of the other results puta case they end up penultimate what happens, do they make a further appeal to the third degree of sports justice to get another two points back?” the thought of Alessandro. Obviously big party among the red and white fans: “Go ahead and cheer, Varese has 32 points on the field, fifth in the standings and the team has nothing to do with 2019 events with litigation at the beginning of the championship,” summarizes Luca while, finally, there are those who expect a summer of fire, like Armando who speaks of “Summer of appeals and championship at 17.”
