Brother Omer…

News or comments are commodities in a society where relations operate within the capitalist system, meaning they can be marketed, bought and sold, and even news and comments can be shaped in such a way that the masses can be easily manipulated through these news or comments.
What I know is that someone with basic football knowledge is offered the opportunity to analyze a match on television or digital platforms, and the process continues like this. I've never heard of anyone who grew up in a different field, developed a passion for football as a fan, and then financed their own careers to become a commentator .
You know, news and commentary have been turned into a commodity, but there still has to be a reason for this.
Indeed, the football field is the catalyst for so much. It's the one place where all the impossible things can happen. Under the guise of industrial identity, capitalism has the power to rebuild itself and revive itself where it's stalled.
Because at this point, facts and information are manipulated.
There is no reason why anyone should not speak up.
Especially in countries like ours, because there's no such thing as a lack of information, it's very easy to speak. There's no need to worry about knowing one's place or not, and everyone, from tea vendors to greengrocers, shopkeepers to employers, builders to hardware stores, can discuss and comment on football and get involved. There's no problem.
Most of them refer to the betting game in this regard!
When this happens, the need for any factual basis for the comments automatically disappears. Speak as much as you can…
In such an environment, Mr. Ömer can easily comment.
But it is not possible to hear anything about tactical analysis in the name of football, about holistic game explanation, regional game explanation and the main format of half-field game explanation.
When these essential details for football narrative are ignored, when the details to be discussed are lost, the necessity of "narrowing the field" and becoming confined within it arises. The conversation is then reduced to "big brother"-style conversations between the announcer and the commentator, reaching the scale of a "Happy Coffee House."
The primary reliance of these types of coffeehouse commentators is to market empty rhetoric as testimonials, often using rhetorical devices like "I told you so," "Didn't I tell you so?" and "How many times have I told you so?" Ömer Abi does this a lot.
Another clever move is his immediate shifting based on the score. If the score is tied or lost, he'll slam the coach, which Ömer Abi does regularly for Montella. However, when he wins, he'll focus on the player's talents or the opposing team's mistakes, thus continuing his pacification of the coach, and ultimately, he'll try to avoid giving him credit.
Sometimes he exaggerates so much that even when refereeing mistakes—for example, when commenting on yellow cards shown to us or the opponent—he might go so far as to remain silent or react to us instead of reacting to the team as he should. But this, of course, varies depending on the score. If we're winning, all sorts of comments are made to the referee, but if we're losing, silence can prevail. Even the announcer's "Isn't it noon, Ömer Abi?" doesn't help.
So why does the process work like this and why are TV8 and Ömer Abi so insistent on this issue – the mistake?
This consciousness is inevitably the consciousness of the system. Naturally, it shapes its own consciousness. It will be one of the savages in the savage system. And it will always use ethical principles for its own benefit. Perhaps that's why it bears this cost.
A class that dominates the media cannot be expected to act according to its principles during this process. In any case, the media will serve the class that controls it. There should be no expectation that it will serve the public, otherwise disappointment will follow.
Inaccurate and deliberate commentary, through the tools provided by the media, has a powerful influence in shaping the minds and behaviors of the masses. Therefore, critically evaluating comments—including those of Ömer Abi—and recognizing manipulation techniques is crucial for making informed judgments, at least for the sake of coaches, players, and football.
Here, the dominant ideology uses a method of domination that can seize every aspect of society and culture to perpetuate the current status quo. Ömer Abi and TV8 are both part of this.
