Utopia Talk / Politics / Soccer is so stupid

Rugian Member	Mon Jun 21 04:34:11 "All Mexico soccer fans are banned from World Cup qualifiers because of homophobic chants at previous events June 19, 2021 -Mexico's national soccer team will have to play their World Cup qualifiers in an empty stadium. -FIFA banned Mexico fans from attending the games after they used homophobic chants in past events. -Mexico's national team will also be fined $73,000." http://www...d-for-homophobic-chants-2021-6 ----- Wow, I'm glad to see that FIFA is so politically correct and sensitive to the rights and feelings of gay people.
Rugian Member	Mon Jun 21 04:34:33 By the way, where is the World Cup actually being hosted next year? "The 2022 FIFA World Cup (Arabic: 2022 كأس العالم لكرة القدم‎, Kaʾs al-ʿālam li-kurat al-qadam 2022) is scheduled to be the 22nd edition of the FIFA World Cup, the quadrennial international men's football championship contested by the national teams of the member associations of FIFA. It is scheduled to take place in Qatar from 21 November to 18 December 2022. This will be the first World Cup ever to be held in the Arab world." http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2022_FIFA_World_Cup Oh....lmao

Corporate wokism is the most disgusting kind of wokism, because it is all about the money. I can respect the passion of someone, no matter how wrong or misguided, in trying to achieve some broader social goal. But these fucking corporations al lined up and ready to capitalize on your dreams, fears and anxiety, they can go to hell.

Neuer, 35, wore the armband against France and Portugal, to show the DFB's support for the LGBTQ+ community during Pride Month. UEFA were investigating whether this contravened their rules over athletes not being permitted to make political statements. But UEFA said Sunday in a statement Neuer was "promoting a good cause" and opted against pursuing any further action. "UEFA have today shared with the DFB that they have stopped the review of the rainbow captain's armband worn by Manuel Neuer," the German Football Association said on Twitter. "In a letter, the armband has been assessed as a team symbol for diversity and thus for a 'good cause'." (...)
