Nein, ich bin nicht mit jeder Entscheidung der @Die_Gruenen glücklich. In diesem🧵möchte ich erklären, warum ich sie trotzdem unterstütze:

Soccer has always been defined by free-flowing, unbroken action. But for the World Cup in America, FIFA is using “hydration breaks” to shoehorn in commercials. 🔗 https://t.co/pFuy90orj6

[Yash @Odriozolite]

Hydration breaks have proven to be a chance to switch momentum during the games.

A story of the FIFA World Cup so far!

I just watched priests trying to save crucifixes from a burning monastery.

This is what russia is destroying.

The Kyiv Lavra is one of the holiest Orthodox sites on earth. A UNESCO World Heritage site.

Moscow calls itself “Christian civilisation.”

It’s literally barbarism.

It’s currently 86° in Houston and they’re playing indoors in a climate-controlled stadium. Have some respect for fans’ intelligence and call it what it is: a commercial break.

Are we really going to keep up this charade for the entire tournament?

[Vassili Golod @VassiliGolod]

Im Zentrum von Kyjiw sind heftige Explosionen zu hören. Russland greift die ukrainische Hauptstadt unter anderem mit ballistischen Raketen an. Es ist eine weitere massive, kombinierte Angriffswelle, die Städte im ganzen Land trifft. Reiner Horror für Millionen Menschen.

[United Arts 🔴⚪️⚫️ @UtdArts1]

When a ref’s standing waiting for a TV producer to tell him when he's allowed to restart a game, you've stopped running a football tournament & started running an ad break with football in between.

Sad thing is, the Premier League is watching & learning🤦‍♂️

Vocês repararam esse símbolo que o supervisor do VAR faz com a mão?

🚨🗣️New: Thierry Henry reacts to the USA vs Paraguay stoppage for TV commercials:

“I’ve spent my entire life in this beautiful game — as a player at the highest level, as a fan, and now as someone who analyses it every week — and what unfolded during that USA versus Paraguay match left me deeply frustrated. The fourth official standing there on the touchline, arm raised high, instructing the referee to hold the restart… not for any injury, not for tactical reasons, and not even primarily for player hydration in that scorching heat. No. It was because the broadcast team hadn’t finished airing all their commercials. That’s not football. That’s a television show pretending to be a World Cup match.

The beautiful game is being strangled by greed. Players are out there in the heat, ready to restart, momentum building like a storm about to break — and we pause everything so the sponsors can cash in. It’s like stopping a symphony mid-crescendo because the advertisers want their jingle heard. Football didn’t conquer the world by turning into American sports with endless timeouts and ad breaks. We had rhythm, flow, emotion that flowed like a river. Now? It’s dammed up for dollars.

This isn’t about hydration or player welfare anymore — it’s a slippery slope where the soul of the game is sold piece by piece. Fans deserve better. Players deserve better. The referee on that pitch looked like a puppet on strings controlled from some broadcast truck. Enough is enough. We need to protect what made this sport the greatest on Earth before it disappears completely.”

The World Cup should be football’s cathedral. Instead, we’re turning it into a shopping mall with a pitch in the middle.

And here’s the question nobody wants to answer: if the fourth official is waiting for commercials, then who is really running the game? FIFA? The referee? Or the broadcasters?

Because the moment football starts asking advertisers for permission before asking the players, you’ve crossed a line.

The World Cup is supposed to be the showcase of football. Not the showcase of who paid the most for airtime.”

Obama put his feet up on the desk on a phone call and the RW media said it was disrespectful to the country.

Now we're having a bunch of dumb meathead fighters slap each other around in front of the Lincoln Memorial.

What an absolute joke of a country we are.

[John Ridge @WeaponScientist]

A completely dishonest characterization of facilities engaged in benign basic biological, medical, and veterinary research. It is no different from research performed in the U.S. or Europe.

Ukraine only has a few facilities rated BSL-3 and none rated BSL-4.

Finde es absoluten Wahnsinn, wie dieser ganze Epstein-Fall mehr oder weniger achselzuckend weltweit aufgenommen wird.

Sind wir als Gesellschaft mittlerweile so kaputt, dass selbst solche Geschichten nicht mehr wirklich etwas auslösen?

Sehr geehrter Herr Merz,

gibt es in diesem, ach so gefährlichem Abendland für unsere Bundespolizei nichts besseres zu tun, als Passagierzüge aus Österreich(!) durchzukämmen???

Trauen Sie der österreichischen Koalition aus Konservativen und Sozialdemokraten keine Sicherheit zu?

Wir haben uns endlich mal wieder mit der #Ukraine beschäftigt. Wie ist die Lage wirklich? Einerseits fliegt #Russland schwerste Angriffe, andererseits trifft die #Ukraine die russische #Ölindustrie empfindlichst. @VassiliGolod war endlich wieder da. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
