«Opinion : Bobby Fischer Dilemna»

It
is now widely known that American chess legend Bobby Fischer has recently been
taken into custody by Japanese authorities. Media outlets around the world
have carried this bizarre story, but the reasons for his arrest are unclear.
He has been traveling freely in Asia for the past 12 years and must have
renewed his passport at least once. There are many persons in and outside of
the chess world making comments about the Fischer case including his
vituperative anti-American and anti-Jewish comments. What has been debated is
the state of Fischer's mental stability, but the fact that he rants and raves
about unpopular political positions does not prove that he is crazy.
However,
Fischer is a very, very bitter man who was conveniently used a political pawn
by the U.S. government, bilked of his riches by religious groups and betrayed
by some of his associates. Much of his mistreatment probably has not come to
light because of his strong political views have dominated. What may be
debated is whether the U.S. government would actually arrest the chess legend
if he were to be deported to the U.S. Fischer violated sanctions against
travel to Yugoslavia to play a famous "Fischer-Spassky" rematch in 1992. This
match occurred while the U.S. and the NATO alliance were fighting a war there.
However, extraditing Fischer would put the U.S. government is a serious
predicament.
If
one appraised the situation, they may agree that it would be a tremendous
tactical blunder to harshly punish Fischer, one of the most widely-known
sports celebrities in the world. It would mar the U.S. claim of defeating
communism on different fronts (Fischer was a powerful icon in that fight).
Furthermore, Fischer would gain thousands of sympathizers from around the
world which could make him more emboldened...
