Se acabaron las cifras millonarias

Se acabaron las cifras millonarias

Austerity measures have chacaterized the 1957 offseason and buying of new players

Of particular note is the final comment in this article: it is vital for clubs to attract the fans who have stopped going to stadiums Who are they? El Gráfico implies that the well-dressed middle class has abdicated the stands to people dressed for suicide and prone to delusions of "heroism" This seems like a swipe at the working-class since low ticket prices allowed them to attend matches, as well as a recent history of feeling entitled to attending matches during the Perón era The author states that even in Perú, and throughout the world, people attend soccer matches wearing the same clothes as they do when going to a theatre or cinema The tone of this last passage is one of embarassment (which is also a term the author employs)
