Summary/Abstract: Kamil Glik is European clubs’ football player and the Polish national team member. His behaviour in the football field arouses controversy repeatedly and is not estimated unequivocally. Referring to that, in the article the analysis of value judgement of Glik and his football activity (primarily his fouls) has been done. The material consists of Polish and Italian texts published on websites. Not only general positive and negative approach is significant, but also that resulting from supporting a specific football team or from the authors’ nationality. a distinctive element in the article consists of numerous and favorable opinions regarding brutal acts on the football field. The Polish and Italian media approach of Kamil Glik’s behaviour points out that football manners may be re-evaluated and apparently negative characteristics can be accepted.
