Bikini and Turkish Football

Who wants to see a gray haired retired referee with a belly wearing a bikini? The answer seems like most of the Fenerbahce fans want it!. After defeating Sevilla, Fenerbahce fans were like crazy. They have a sleepless night, lasting till early morning. I, as a Besiktas supporter, had also a sleepless night thanks to my kind neighbors.

This is nothing to do with my grudge against Fenerbahce fans, however as the discussion is still on the news, I decided to write about it. Because it is so strange. Defeating Sevilla was great, but trying to cream it with a bikini wearing old referee was something strange to me. And newspapers questioning whether he will wear bikini is another thing that I couldn’t understand.

The story starts with a TV program, where Ahmet Cakar, our protagonist and gray haired referee with a belly, have ‘mistakenly’ said that “If Fenerbahce beats Sevilla, I will wear bikini”. Although he corrected himself in the program, the winds of luck was not with him. His tongue has managed to tangle himself and me.

Fenerbahce fortunately has beaten Sevilla, despite and thanks to Volkan the Goalkeeper. Volkan, first managed to let two balls slip to his goal. Then became a hero with saving several penalties at the end. On a single night he became both the villain and the hero. For Ahmet Cakar, Lord was having a different plan for the next morning.

The next morning, Fenerbahce fan websites, news sites were discussing the “possibility” while his phone never stopped ringing. The retired doctor, a practitioner, has, once again, been the hot topic of the day. He was previously escaped from an attempted gun shoot. Thanks, this was more peaceful this time.

Ahmet Cakar was one of the most successful referees in the Turkish history with a brilliant international career. After retiring he continued to dominate the Turkish football agenda with his comments on TV and newspapers. He is one of my favorites. His macho style, clear Turkish, refraining from hidden meanings and brave talks has been both a polish and a trouble to his rising popularity.

That was all from his side. There is the other side. We, as Turks, are quite Mediterranean in general. When we win we want to cry it to skies and we got defeated we want to damn it to the depths of the hell. When you look to this event, it is just for sheer fun and for absolute humiliation of Ahmet Cakar. But for me, it is a strike to my sexuality. Come on, this guy is an old referee, not a model from Pirelli calendar.

In Turkey, the macho side of the football inhibits quite queer characteristics from a different perspective. Before the Football Federation’s regulations, crowd’s were singing “Queer Referee”, if they do not like his decision. That is probably why Ahmet Cakar bet on wearing bikini.

Nevertheless, my problem is my problem. The photoshoped images of Ahmet Cakar with a bikini on him is circulating on the web pages. To my disgust, they put Ahmet Cakar’s head to bikini model’s body. It doesn’t mean, I prefer a model’s face to his body with a bikini. This was the worst crime that world internet media has committed since .. since… Paris Hilton stories.

Why millions of fans wanted to see that photo is of course for humiliation. But the result is something quite queer. Millions looking at a gray haired man’s picture in bikini and circulating it around! This really changed the way bikini’s utilization. Now, it is not a swim suit, but an absolute humiliation tool.

“Will he wear bikini” is another question quite frequently dominated news sites, I could not understand. Media was quite persistent on this issue. I used to know that in European media there are certain gay groups but I have failed to catch the rising trend in the Turkish press. What they thought when they made this cut-copy-paste?

For God’s sake, please no! He is not she to be sexy in it! I will not be sexy in a bikini, neither any other Turkish man. It is for women! Even if he says that, our Y genes should be a call of nature to stop us from photoshopping him with a bikini.

Victory should not lead us to a feminine plane. We are absolutely macho, patriarchal Turkish men! With all the queerism around, we are the only remaining hope of the world for natural reproduction. Even Fenerbahce beats the aliens from outer space, there is no need to photoshop aliens with bikini! Conserve our future, conserve our tastes!
