Today we will talk about a wonderful word that commentators and sports journalists often use. Inside is our subject for discussion today.
What is inside?
No wonder there is an English word in the title. The object of study refers us to the language of Mark Twain and Ernest Hemingway. "Inside" is a tracing paper that means "inside". That is, we are talking about something intended for internal use. This is usually information and usually quite valuable.
For example, if the company's management changes, then the chief's secretary can act as an insider. It so happened that she was delivering coffee during important negotiations and overheard that her boss should be fired in the near future.
Sometimes someone deliberately spreads some information, calling it insider information. Now a lot can be sold, but information from the very "womb" of multi-million dollar corporations is very expensive. Maybe the aforementioned secretary will sell what she learned about from some newspaper? Nobody can predict this. But in the team she will definitely be in great demand.
Inside and outside - means "inside and outside"
We understand what an insider is, now we will answer an interesting question: if there are insiders, then there must be outsiders, right? But the last term in the informational context definitely does not make any sense. Because inside information is valuable only because it is available to a narrow circle of people, and data released outside belongs to everyone.
It should also be said that the sphere of personal life of both people and companies is narrowing as much as possible. Given the development of technology, it is very difficult to keep any information inside the enterprise. But for some data it is still relevant.
And yes, the term "outsider" is a synonym for a loser in terms of the social reading of the word, so even if it's about information, no one will be called that, because it's a little humiliating.
What is an insider, many people know, "outside" is generally quite a popular word, but it seems that they should not be considered antonyms.
How do they get insider information?
The question is easy to answer: it is received through communication channels. Without dating in certain circles, you will not be able to boast of insidership, since you will not have the resources for such an assertion.
Having an insider is what makes a person exceptional. It seems that the term we are analyzing appeared not so long ago, but suitable examples can be found in old films. Remember, in the movie "Back to the Future" (in the second part of the trilogy), Marty had a brilliant idea -make money on bets, knowing the winner in advance? It was also used by Stephen King in his novel "11/22/63", released not so long ago, in 2011.
So the question is, can Marty and Jake Epping be called insiders? Of course, still! Only such information is no longer available to anyone except them. The reader will say: "It's all science fiction!" Yes, that's why she's good. And even the characters in the movie and the book had connections: Marty knew Emmett Brown, and Jake knew Al. The moral is simple: you don't just become an insider.
Information from the inside is a guarantee of authenticity?
The question is difficult. On the one hand, if a person claims that such information existed, then the conversation took place, but on the other hand, even an insider does not know whether this or that event will happen or not. It's time to talk about football.
Let's imagine that no one knows about Niang's possible transfer to Spartak. And now the most famous insider of Russian football, Nobel Arustamyan, as his colleagues call him, reports that Nyang had psychological problems, and he refused to move to the Red-White camp and does not want to leave Italy at all, he dreams of moving to Torino "".
Or another example. Barcelona sold Neymar for a record amount and will now sign Julian Draxler and Ángel Di Maria - these are just rumors so far. But if the fans had been told that this was an insider, they would have been waiting for the players at the location of their favorite team from day to day. Although the sources in the club are also wrong. Something can always go wrong. Thatthere is the presence of information about something else does not indicate the accomplishment of this or that fact.
It is easy to understand that inside football is the same as everywhere else: information available to a narrow circle of people. As a rule, it concerns the transitions of players. Less often, various rumors about reshuffles in the management of clubs appear on the court of the general public. The fans are not too interested in the latter, the main thing is transfers! People are worried about who Real Madrid will sign and for how much. But whether Zidane will finish this season or leave, few people are concerned. Of course, if we talk about the fans in general, and not about the fans of one team.
Really important stays inside
Do not flatter yourself and think that the broad masses will be given a pass to the holy of holies. Insider information is still an element of the show, because in this way interest in sports in general and football in particular is warmed up. Nothing bad will happen if fans of the most popular game on the planet know in advance who will come to their club in the new season. Even if the information is not confirmed, the person will live for some time in hope. That's not bad, is it?
Insiders are leaked only the information that can be told. True, sometimes various financial details of transactions between the players and the club get into the press. The details of the commercial side of the matter rather spoil the fun for the fans. But fans still wonder how much this or that player is getting.
When a contract that should have remained in the shadows is exposed to the public, a scandal happens. Probably thisalso a matter of insiders - those who play on the dark side. Thus, there are "bad" and "good" everywhere.
