Our news media can screw up stories really well at times so I thought I would ask here of some of the members from europe. American news has been reporting a scandal in Italian soccer (football) involving the owner of the Italian team paying off referees to get more favorable rulings for his team in games. Supposedly he and many referees have been arrested and that his team may be moved to what we call "minor league" status next year?
There is no accusations against the players, just the team owner and some referees but, if true, this must be really disheartening to these wonderful players.
Can anyone let us know what is happening and how badly our 30 second sound bite news media has distorted this story?
