@MYeo27@GlobalWresOrder I'd love to hear how in the world you figure life is "objectively worse" in other Western countries. 🙄 Worse by what standard? And what makes that standard objective?
@MYeo27@GlobalWresOrder * root. And you do you, but that's genuinely stupid. First, no, life is not "objectively worse" everywhere else. But also, rooting for nation above all else when it comes to sports is weird. My country's athletes can unlearn my support, and Snyder has, on and off the mat.
@EricSteckel@CPyles8 Go watch the way Max Holloway responded to Conor McGregor's injury later that same day. Any decent person would have been instantly more concerned with the injury than celebrating a meaningless RAF match. He's a grown ass man. He should know how to win well. I coach 6yos who do.
🚨 “If You Don’t See It as a Red Card, Then Football Is Not for You” — Thierry Henry on Embolo’s Dismissal
🗣️ :“First of all, I want to give a lot of credit to the referee. In moments like this, under pressure, with the intensity of the game rising, it’s not easy to make big decisions — but he handled the situation very, very well. Calm, composed, and most importantly, consistent. That’s exactly the kind of discipline football needs.
Now, when you look at the incident… I really don’t understand why Embolo goes into that challenge like that. Your team has just started to dominate the game, you are building momentum, everything is going in your favor — and you are already on a yellow card. You have to be smarter than that. You have to read the moment.
There is no need to dive into a situation like that. You’re risking everything — not just for yourself, but for your team. At this level, that lack of control can cost you the game, and it did.
And let me be very clear — if there are people who think that is not a red card, then football is not for them. The rules are there for a reason. Discipline is part of the game. You cannot complain when a player crosses that line and gets punished.
For me, the referee got it absolutely right.”
I hope watching @BlessedMMA be the ultimate sportsman after @TheNotoriousMMA's injury tonight is a lesson for everyone glazing @Snyder_man45, but it probably won't be. Bad people like bad people, I guess.
@_wrestlersgrind@RAFWrestlingUSA Sure. But it doesn't really matter. It "counts", but the match was in the balance when the injury happened. No telling how it may have gone.
@MYeo27@GlobalWresOrder Supporting an athlete just because they are an American is so fucking stupid. Idgaf if an athlete is from the same country as me. That's just goofy, man.
