Sport is a wonderful thing



Maccabi "Kabilio" Yafo (Jaffa) (Which plays in the 5th league in Israel) won the leader of the national league (The 2nd league in Israel) 1-0 during their match in the 8th round in the national cup.

Maccabi Yafo was an empire in Israel till the late 80s. After got into financial problems due to lack of management they were force to put an end to their legacy.

The Fans didn't like the decision and decided to take the team into their own hands. Each fan bought a "stock" of the team and donated money. Past players came to help the club and played for the team in the 6th league. They qualified already in the first year to the 5th league. Today they are leading the 5th league and will probably qualify to the 4th league at the end of the year.

Hapoel Jerusalem (National League) did similar thing and so did Hapoel Tel-Aviv in Basketball. All these teams got inspired by the English team Wimbledon fans were first to understand that they can do it better and a team is exist for the fans and not opposite.

I just enjoy watching and reading this. I even admire these people who follow their dream and heart.
