Cartolas da CBF aproveitam paixão nacional para fazer negócios

A menos de um ano da Copa do Mundo, a entidade que comanda o futebol brasileiro está acéfala. Na quinta-feira, a Justiça afastou o presidente da CBF, Ednaldo Rodrigues. Ele é suspeito de arquitetar uma fraude para se segurar no cargo.

A decisão do desembargador Gabriel Zéfiro não foi propriamente uma surpresa. Dos últimos seis chefões da CBF, cinco foram afastados por envolvimento em escândalos. A lista é encabeçada pelo notório Ricardo Teixeira. Dono da bola por 23 anos, ele foi banido do futebol pela Fifa, acusado de embolsar propina em contratos milionários.

Seu sucessor, o malufista José Maria Marin, foi preso no chamado Fifagate. Passou cinco anos detido no exterior e voltou para casa graças à pandemia. O presidente seguinte, Marco Polo Del Nero, foi banido pelas mesmas práticas corruptas. Para escapar das algemas, adotou a tática de esconder o passaporte e não sair mais do Brasil.

Na sequência, Rogério Caboclo foi apeado da presidência sob denúncias de assédio moral e sexual. Seu substituto, Ednaldo Rodrigues, é bicampeão. Já havia sido afastado pela Justiça, mas voltou ao cargo nas asas de uma liminar do ministro Gilmar Mendes.

Com receita líquida superior a R$ 1 bilhão por ano, a CBF é cobiçada por quem busca usar a paixão nacional para fazer negócios. Em abril, reportagem da revista Piauí dissecou a gestão de Ednaldo. O texto descreveu um festival de regalias, pagamentos suspeitos e favorecimentos pessoais.

O cartola se serviu da confederação como se estivesse numa boca livre. Sem pudor de se lambuzar, filou passagens aéreas para a mulher, a filha, o neto, o genro, a sogra, os cunhados, o sobrinho e o cabeleireiro. Os chefes das federações estaduais, que deveriam fiscalizá-lo, foram adoçados com salários de R$ 215 mil e diárias em hotéis cinco estrelas.

Além de alimentar os parlamentares da bancada da bola, Ednaldo abriu uma casa de lobby em Brasília e investiu na proximidade com os tribunais superiores. Fechou contrato com o IDP, faculdade fundada por Gilmar, para oferecer cursos de futebol. A entidade diz formar técnicos de “alto rendimento” e “nível internacional”. Curiosamente, acaba de recorrer a um italiano para treinar a seleção.

Cinco meses depois de a CBF assinar com o IDP, o supremo ministro autografou a liminar que reconduziu o cartola. Na quinta-feira, Gilmar disse ao UOL que não se sentiu impedido de julgar o recurso de Ednaldo. “Não há conflito de interesse em relação a esta questão”, sentenciou.

Há menos de 60 dias, o dirigente foi reeleito por unanimidade, com os votos das 27 federações e dos 40 clubes das séries A e B. Desde então, a CBF distraiu a torcida com a contratação do técnico do Real Madrid e os rumores de que lançaria uma exótica camisa vermelha. A amarelinha, que já foi símbolo nacional, continua sequestrada por políticos de extrema direita.

O desempenho nos gramados também não é mais o mesmo. Há 23 anos sem ganhar uma Copa, a seleção dá vexames em série desde o 7 a 1 para a Alemanha. Na última partida oficial, pelas Eliminatórias, levou de 4 a 1 da Argentina. O Brasil ocupa o quarto lugar na tabela, empatado com a briosa esquadra do Paraguai.

Adam Silver says NBA will make decision on expansion in 2026, cites Seattle and Las Vegas as possibilities

No. 20 Tennessee snaps 3-game losing streak while holding high-octane No. 11 Louisville to 62 points

Louisville entered Knoxville averaging 94.3 points per game this season, the seventh most of any team in the country. The No. 11 Cardinals had gone over the century mark four times. They had just sniffed it with 99 points against Memphis three days earlier, and they put up 87 a week before that in a victory over then-No. 22 Indiana.But without primary ball-handler and NBA prospect Mikel Brown Jr., who was sidelined with a lower-back injury, Louisville didn't establish the offensive rhythm Tuesday night at Tennessee that's made Pat Kelseys' Cardinals tick.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementTheir wings were clipped by a suffocating defense that helped the No. 20 Volunteers end their three-game skid with an 83-62 triumph.

The Three Biggest Disappointments of the 2025 NFL Season

Mandatory Credit: Kim Klement Neitzel-Imagn Images We’ve made it to the final three weeks of the NFL season. At this point, we have a pretty decent idea of how teams are. Teams like the Broncos and Patriots have to be excited with how their seasons have gone, while the Chiefs and Lions must be disappointed in their likely playoff misses. Those teams aren’t close to being the biggest disappointments in 2025. The Lions are still an excellent playoff team, who could sneak into the playoffs, and the Chiefs have been a dynasty for nearly the last decade, so they can’t be too crushed by one bad season.
