Brazil's generally popularity could take a major dip if the five-time World Cup winner follows through on battle to play Zimbabwe in a friendly match in Harare on June 2.
At the very least, Brazilians are going to come in for some heated denigration.
Those who fight that game and politics should not mix have their head in the sand. They mix all the time. Politicians like nothing more than to be photographed with the public's sporting idols, just as players and coaches like to hobnob with national leaders. Witness the U.S. World Cup team's visit to the White House on Thursday to be wished the best of World Cup luck by President Barack Obama, with previous President Bill Clinton also labeling along.
Brazil going to play in Zimbabwe is flat-out a bad idea. The game should be scrap right now, before it causes further embarrassment for the Selecao.
Any action that gives authority to a administration as cruel and odious as that of Robert Mugabe is wrong. It is all very well for people to quarrel that the ordinary citizens of Zimbabwe deserve the chance to see the world's top-ranked team, but it is Mugabe and his partners who will reap the publicity benefits.
There is a one-word cause why no international team from outer Africa has played in Zimbabwe in the last 30 years: Mugabe. Even his ally, North Korea, recently canceled strategy to play there.
