Cultural Rituals in Paraguayan Sports
The greeting is also internalized. The neighbor who passes by on the sidewalk and says
"Goodbye, goodbye," that's typical. The child who passes by, sees a grandmother, and says
"bless me," "good morning," "good afternoon," "see you later," "good night,"
that is also a Paraguayan ritual. So, what made us angry? That when
Orlando Gil, a boy, a boy who was probably for the first time
setting foot in a World Cup, probably for the first time in Europe, was playing
before the world and extends his hand with all the humility of a Paraguayan, with all the
humility of a Paraguayan, and this son of a bitch refuses his hand and screams in his
face, that is not French, a Frenchman would have never, ever done that.

También está internalizado el saludo. La vecina que pasa por la vereda y dice adiós, adiós, eso es típico. El niño que pasa y ve a una abuelita y le dice bendición, el buen día, el buenas tardes, hasta luego, buenas noches, ese también es un ritual paraguayo. Entonces, ¿qué nos enojó? Que cuando Orlando Gil, un niño, un niño que seguramente por primera vez
pisaba un mundial, seguramente por primera vez en Europa, estaba jugando ante el mundo y le pasa la mano con toda la humildad del paraguayo, con toda la humildad del paraguayo y este hijo de puta le niega la mano y le grita en la boca, eso no es francés, eso no hubiera hecho un francés nunca, nunca.
