Well-known sports commentator Gennady Orlov commented words Nikolai Valuev, Deputy of the State Duma of the Russian Federation, who opposes the return of beer to the stadiums of the Russian Premier League (RPL). Orlov quotes sports24.
“Kolya Valuev recently spoke out against beer in stadiums and said: “Then let’s have a cigarette at the same time.” If there is a desire to have a drink after beer, this does not mean that everyone is the same. For some reason it has something to do with smoking. Better to think first and talk later ” Orlov said.
On March 30, Alexander Dyukov, President of the Russian Football Union (RFU) on the organization’s executive committee, said that the union would support the return of beer to stadiums if there was a proper objection.
The sale of beer in Russian stadiums was canceled in 2005. The State Duma would allow the sale of the beverage at football matches and adult sporting events in 2019. The money from the sale of alcoholic beverages was to be channeled into the development of professional and youth sports.
