The São Paulo soccer team Corinthians, which has a proud history of progressive politics, including democratic, player-led decision making, took advantage of Brazilian independence day to resurrect some of the rebellious spirit of the dictatorship years. As the long-time sports commentator Juca Kfouri explained,

Last night, after a September 7th [Independence Day] on which the president of the Republic called a Supreme Court Justice a scoundrel, Corinthians posted on its social media the old photo of the Sócrates team with the banner

"Win or lose, but always with democracy”

something that Jair Bolsonaro is unfamiliar with, imagining himself to be the owner of the ball.
