"how does this caped crusader measure up against the teachings of plato, aristotle, kant, kierkegaard, and lao tzu" me as an academic tbh

You know you are only saying this cos it’s America. You’d criticize the hell out of another country if they refused entry to athletes and officials. You know this. You guys hypocrisy is over the roof.

Did America not realise that the ‘soccer’ World Cup would involve people from all over the world visiting?

Is it the Baseball ‘World Series’ that has confused them?

TBH I think a misogynistic flattening of Austen's work into 'silly swooning romances for girls' has resulted in a corresponding over-correction trying to label her works as pure satirical social commentary, in a way that feels also lowkey misogynistic in the opposite direction

Een van argumenten voor buitengewone milde straf was dat dader slechts 20 was, en niet maturiteit had om situatie goed in te schatten. Maar 16 is ‘matuur’ genoeg om te mogen stemmen. En 18 is ‘volwassen’.

Iranian Football Federation announces the 8% ticket quota allocated to Iran has been revoked by the U.S., leaving the federation currently unable to distribute tickets to supporters.

A case study in political interference, discrimination and FIFA looking the other way.

@DutchConserv83 Toch opmerkelijk dat vooral rechtse stemmers zich hierover opwinden. Als je wil dat volwassenen gratis bij hun ouders in een sociale voorziening moeten kunnen wonen - en die woning daarna moeten kunnen erven - moet je misschien anders stemmen?

Statement from Omar Artan is far more graceful and reserved than FIFA deserves. It is a stain on this tournament that one of Africa's top officials can be blocked from the biggest month of his career.

[Planeta do Futebol 🌎 @futebol_info]

Fora da Copa do Mundo após ser barrado por imigração dos Estados Unidos, árbitro somali Omar Abdulkadir Artan se pronuncia:

“Apesar das circunstâncias, estou de bom humor e focado nos próximos desafios da carreira. Eu quero agradecer à família do futebol pelas mensagens e desejar aos meus colegas o melhor durante a Copa do Mundo. Estou ansioso para encontrá-los no futuro. Quero agradecer à FIFA e à CAF (Confedederação Africana de Futebol) por todo o suporte e prometo continuar evoluindo meu nível e concentrar no futuro.”

When the U.K. Foreign Office considered denying North Koreans visas to play at the 1966 World Cup, FIFA told the FA that they would immediately relocate the tournament.

That was when FIFA still had something remotely resembling a spine.

don’t bid for the world cup if you don’t want the WORLD to be part of the world cup

Persepolis is banned in Iran bc, you know, theocratic authoritarian state.

But there are many Farsi translations made by fans and the entire film is on YouTube subtitled in Farsi.

I know underground versions were spread illegally in Iran by fans.

Dat wordt weer een fijn WK in alweer een crimineel en corrupt land. Gezellig hoor. https://t.co/qOYir9SF4R

@RobdeVr34232256 @gerrieickhof Heb je bewijs voor die beschuldiging?

[Rebekka Timmer @RebekkaTimmer]

Ziek. In België zijn vrouwen vogelvrij, omdat het hele rechtssysteem constant bezig is om verkrachters vrij te pleiten en weg te sturen met ondermaatse straffen.

Voor wie is de rechtsstaat als ‘ie niet voor ons allemaal is?

This should be the last time that America ever hosts a major international tournament - in any sport. The International Olympic committee should be watching very carefully for LA 2028

I hate to break it to you buddy, but no matter what you think of women's erotica & especially the dark romantasy dreck, no actual human beings are trafficked, raped, coerced or harmed by any of it.

Something the porn industry could never say.

Tu religión no me prohíbe nada a mí. Te lo prohíbe a ti. A ver si aprendéis la diferencia.

When asked explicitly “who is my neighbor” Jesus tells a parable in which the answer is a persecuted racial minority which he deliberately sets up in contrast to the members of your tradition, blood, culture, etc who bear power and prestige
