Neutrality[edit]

The recently added controversy section seems not neutral. I suggest replacing it with more neutral content form pl wiki. Here's a google translation of the content - refs are at pl:Szymon Marciniak, where the section has a more neutral heading too ("Media").

He is the protagonist of the Canal+ Sport documentary series entitled "Referees"[52] and "Tapped Footballers"[53], as well as other television and Internet formats presenting the work of football referees[54]. In 2022, he was a guest of Kuba Wojewódzki's program [55]. He is the ambassador of Auto-Forum Płock, a Polish dealer of the Mercedes-Benz brand[56]. In 2023, he appeared in the fourth episode of the 8th edition of Polsat's Hell's Kitchen [57].

On May 29, 2023, Marciniak took part as a speaker at the "Everest" business conference organized by Sławomir Mentzen [58], where he talked about motivation and making dreams come true [59]. After a press release published by the "Never Again"[60][61][62][63][64] association, which criticized Marciniak's participation in an event organized by the leader of the Konfederacja party, there was speculation that the referee may be removed by UEFA from refereeing the final match of the Champions League, which took place on June 10, 2023 in Istanbul [65]. Ultimately, UEFA and Szymon Marciniak issued statements in which they dissociated themselves from the views presented by the organizer[66][67], and the Polish referee remained the referee of the final match[67]. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 02:50, 21 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
