Well, Polish people tend to love Kubiak since he’s been a kind of strong-minded, successful captain always fighting for the team and always putting his entire heart into the game. Nevertheless, if he really did what N'Gapeth says he did, I think its quite obvious that we simply cannot keep defending him in this madly biased way just because he “belongs to us” - especially since it is not his first time. I think that most of contestation coming from polish media is evoked by the suspicion that the French player simply made up his story and that he's playing some weird dirty games to harm our team, “our Captain” and his image (the fact that the whole story with Kubiak being racist seems so plausible is indeed very sad). Well, N'Gapeth accusing also Heynen is weird and somewhat helpful for Kubiak since there’ve never been any rumors that the Belgian had shown any kind of racist attitudes toward anybody. His perhaps annoying hyperactivity on the court doesn't change the fact that he always seemed to be a very open-minded and friendly guy.
Nevertheless, if it eventually turns out that Kubiak said racist things – once again – I strongly believe and hope that he will be punished and that Polish fans will support the decision. I heard some people saying that a volleyball court is a place where some kind of verbal aggression is to be allowed or even welcomed – to me it sounds weird since I’ve always thought sport areas to be something quite opposite. Looking deep into one's eyes after blocking him or her may be considered as a part of the game - this kind of stupid provocations is NOT for sure.
Last but not least, all of those polarizing discussions whether N'Gapeth, Kubiak or let’s say Seyed is the bad guy here shouldn’t lead anybody to too radical conclusions. While playing against “Kubiak enemies” like Iranian players or – from now on? – French guys, the whole atmosphere in Poland is never racist AT ALL. Many positive stories about for example Iranian people live in the Polish collective memory (our commentators even used to repeat them over and over again during the matches) so I hope no one will generalize too much from Kubiak’s brilliant "speeches" – whether he is guilty this time or not.
