WHY is 53-year-old Kazuyoshi “King Kazu’’ Miura being celebrated as a global football hero for defying age, while 48-year-old Innocent Benza is demonised as a hopeless pensioner making a mockery of the domestic Premiership?
Is it because King Kazu is Japanese, and age there is nothing but a number, while Benza is a Zimbabwean where one is not supposed to push the boundaries, when it comes to playing football in the top-flight league?
Or, is it because Benza is black and, as such, he has no business trying to reinvent the wheel and keep playing in the domestic Premiership?
Why is it that when 75-year-old Egyptian, Ezzeldin Bahader, bids to become the world’s oldest football player, he is celebrated for refusing to be bullied by age? Yet Benza is dismissed as a joke who is an insult to the domestic Premiership? The Egyptian even scored, converting a penalty in his first match for third-tier league side, October 6, in a 1-1 draw against Genius earlier this year. – The Herald
