Es el mejor partido de la historia de la Champions. Qué es esto

The clitoris has over 8000 nerve endings and it's still not as sensitive as a man on Twitter who has been told he's wrong.

"Andaluces, NO ME MERECEIS.
Que una mujer como yo, con lo que valgo y el puestazo que tengo, venga a intentar presidir la mierdda de la Junta de Andalucía, no me lo vais a agradecer lo suficiente NUNCA.
Dicho lo cual, ingratos andaluces, votadme.

Seeing the video of Robert Sanchez telling the Chelsea fans to relax as it was only half time, made me want to talk about something that has been on my mind for a while: why football stadiums are becoming more impatient, more toxic and polarised.

The pandemic changed our routines and it accelerated a transformation that was already happening in society: overnight, our lives moved onto screens. We watched sport through devices, we debated online, we consumed information in fragments and, importantly for this point, we lived inside a constant stream of opinions.

And with that, something else grew stronger: extremisation.

We have become less able to accept what doesn’t match our own perception. The world has turned into a place where difference is a threat and disagreement feels personal. 

Even when those opinions are built on incomplete information, we treat them as unquestionable truths. The most important voice is no longer the most informed one, but the loudest one, the strongest in the moment.

And football, as always, reflects society.

In stadiums now, we increasingly see impatience that would have been unthinkable years ago. Fans protesting a team even before half-time. Whistling after one mistake, even teams that are top of the table. Demanding changes immediately, as if football were a video game and not a complex sport shaped by confidence, form (both appearing in waves during a campaign), injuries, personalities, the limits of a squad or the finances.

We forget that coaches work every day with these players. That they know the realities behind the scenes. That progress is not always instant. But patience has become rare, because the modern world trains us to expect immediate solutions.

What’s worse is that creating a toxic atmosphere no longer feels like a problem for many supporters. The priority becomes: “I want what I want, and I want it now.” Even if it damages the team. Even if it poisons the environment. Even if it turns the stadium into a place of tension instead of support. I cannot think of anything worse than your own fans chanting, “you are going to be sacked in the morning.”

This phenomenon is particularly noticeable in England right now, where protests and frustration inside grounds are becoming more common. Perhaps it is less frequent in Spain, where there is still — sometimes — a different relationship with suffering, with time, with process, with football clubs and the role of fans. At Real Madrid, the whistling to the team lasted a game and it was a protest against the sacking of Xabi Alonso, or a message to the players. The following game, they had moved on. I feel that is legitimate. But the trend is spreading. 

The truth is hardly any club lives in happiness anymore. And I feel it is not because football has changed dramatically, but surely because society has.

The modern fan experience is shaped by constant noise, constant judgement, constant outrage. And football, which used to be an escape, has become another space where people project frustration and impatience.

It’s not really about the manager. Or the player. Or even the result. What we are hearing is basically about the world we have become. Although I do feel there is another way. 

I know none of this is new. But how about if we thought we might not be right. Someone else might be. Or changing an opinion. Or listening a bit more. Or considering we might not know everything. And respect our differences.

@trecet Sería bueno saber qué ha pasado con las retransmisiones de baloncesto y el cambio de estrategia de Movistar+ que parece solo centrado en el fútbol y algo de tenis tras perder NBA, NFL y ACB

[Javier Alcalde @JavierAlcalde79]

@darkavm El trailer es más teaser que el mostrado en la última Celebration que se centraba mucho más en la escena con los AT-AT's. Con respecto al tema de la temporada comprimida y menor presupuesto, no creo que bajen sus estándares mucho. Y la taquilla lo valdrá para Disney, claro

I cannot remember a single time where a game crashed Steam, Xbox Store, Playstation Store, AND Nintendo eShop ALL AT THE SAME TIME

Silksong is just the absolute 🐐

@darkavm Respeta el legado de Ridley Scott, como ya dijo Noah Hawley. Aparte de eso, el comienzo parece más propio de Blade Runner que de la saga Alien cuando cuenta los tipos de sintéticos y demás que existen

@darkavm Sabiendo que no comulgo con Gunn no tengo grandes expectativas. Esperando a que te recuperes del shock para que nos cuentes alguna cosa más

@HansZimmerLive 2 times already, Paris and Madrid. Next one next year

[Estefania Molina @EstefMolina_]

Un país como España, de los que menos gasta en la OTAN, no puede ir a un foro a exigir. Vas allí, dices que sí, vuelves a España y te resignas con tu cruda realidad: no tienes dinero para un 5% porque tu Estado del Bienestar está famélico. No necesitabas publicidad. Ha sido peor.

[Javier Alcalde @JavierAlcalde79]

@darkavm Por supuesto, estando al 100% de acuerdo en todo lo que dices. Por desgracia nos quedan años de remakes innecesarios.

[Javier Alcalde @JavierAlcalde79]

@darkavm Los estudios van a seguir apostando por estos remakes mientras sigan haciendo el dinero que hacen. Por ahora solo Blancanieves pinchó drásticamente. Las demás han dejado dinero y la tendencia no va a cambiar. El tema de la originalidad en Hollywood lleva décadas por los suelos.

[Javier Alcalde @JavierAlcalde79]

@jmgmoron Muy de acuerdo con la necesidad de un M1000 en hierba previo a Wimbledon. Por lo demás, como bien dices, lo dejaría como está. Si acaso, revisaría la duración de los M1000 y el calendario en general para reducir desgaste y lesiones de los jugadores.
