HE’S THE WORST: EPSN’s Keith Olbermann last night designated his “World’s Worst Person in Sports” to Turkish Football Federation President Yıldırım Demirören, who is “ready to fine two of league’s imports for what they wore under their jerseys during matches last Friday.” The players, who were both African natives, wore undershirts honoring the late Nelson Mandela(“Olbermann,” ESPN, 12/10). via

Beşiktaş Fans in Action
As of now, 36 Beşiktaş fans are banned from the stadiums for a year. Some fan leaders like Alen Markaryan are among the banned fans. Official reason is that they were “swearing”. Istanbul Police Deparment detained, interrogated, worked on the security cameras and the concluded on the ban. This is a crackdown executed by the alliance of Istanbul police and Beşiktaş administration. It is intended to destroy our famous fandom. Yıldırım Demirören, whom I name the worst Beşiktaş president ever, had a few weeks ago stated to “clean the stadium” and this is what he does now. Yes, in the last game, some fans began to swear at him but Mr. Demirören cannot tolerate any level of criticism and he does not hide his intention of “cleaning”. After his statement, there happened to be fights in the stadiums and pro-Demirören gangs were rumored to terrorize anti-Demirören. Where the hell Police Deparment was then?

The worst president of Beşiktaş was too angry when fans yelled at him last night. Check out the guy. Mr. Demirören is a good example for the fact that personal wealth is not enough for a good reputation.
It looks like he is crying here.
Last night’s game proved that Beşiktaş as we know is dead as long as Mr. Demirören keeps the throne. During the game thousands of fans got in fistfights. The fans were divided between pro-Demirören and anti-Demirören. In fact, most of the fans were anti-D but gang-like pro-D attacked them. They attempted to stop anti-D chanting and threatened other fans.
