Dutch pair Steven van de Velde and Matthew Immers lost their opening match to Italy, 15 places below them in the world rankings.
Safe to say that we are all Italy in this moment.
Italy - 1
Child rapist - 0
Gotta explain from childhood in a tier 2 city, you will know why we suck at sports
Kid is born
Go to school at 7 AM
2 sports period a week, one taken by Maths/Science teacher to complete syllabus or cancelled due to weather
The day we had sports, 200 students from various classes used to compete for one football field and mind you this was DPS, most expensive school of city
Coming back from school you go out to play with colony peeps, no infrastructure so you end up playing cuck games like one tip one hand cricket until some Buddha neighbour comes and shoo you away with "Ae ladka tumko padhai nhi hai"
Then you come back home at 6 PM, you see mom complaining to Dad "Ye padh nhi rha, 9th class aagaya"
Dad says "kal se iska khelna band"
You get hauled into some deadass FITTJEE types coaching which you now have to go after 9 hours of Dihadi in school
You got to that coaching, learn jackshit, eat patties, Samosa come back home too tired and then sleep
The guys who had some talent at sport start killing their passion by Class 9th
You ask them why aren't they participating in the inter school tournament
They make a sad face and tell you with half a smile "nhi yaar IIT nikalna hai"
These potential athletes don't clear IIT, end up at VIT, MANIPAL
Maybe things will get better next generation, maybe in the coming decade
I have hope
when u recommend a tv show to someone and they say "oh i don't have disney+ (or whatever streaming site it's on)" like oh my god... is the art of piracy really that lost or are people just stupid
I still can't process the fact that we gave our athletes extremely mediocre clothes to represent our country.
With such exquisite designs and weaves, is this what we have to offer ?
The Netherlands are taking volleyball player, Steven Van de Velde, to the Olympics despite the fact he’s a paedophile convicted of raping a 12 year old girl.
No idea why the fuck people say rape allegations ruin men’s lives when not even the exceedingly rare convictions do.
HEAVY editing done by the RB PR team on Daniel’s post race comments. Saying “we didn’t use the pace we had in the clear air” is a nice way to reword Daniel saying he didn’t want to pit and knew it was the wrong choice.
@Joey7Barton “We all make mistakes”
Tell us Joey. How many times have you made the mistake of beating up and raping your girlfriend?
Cos that’s not a ‘mistake’ most people make.
Wesley Fofana is in the right and Enzo Fernandez is in the wrong. You don’t just call out racism when it’s convenient. When it’s a burner account with 3 followers and a grey avi. You call it out when it’s those around you. Those with influence and reach. Those you considered friend/family. Expecting a disciplinary meeting from Chelsea.
