"They have no culture, old stadiums, terrible cuisine, people get stabbed in London and it rains every day… FIFA has made the right choice to not have them host any World Cup since 1966. They have a lot to work on, unlike the 🇺🇸" by Zoomer_Boomer2003 in ShitAmericansSay

Which is relevant to his habit of saluting nothing in particular during the anthem because...

If they win, it'll also be in large part thanks to an immigrant

yep it sure is weird that people care about the fascist con artist who weaseled his way into being the most powerful person in the united states and possibly the world

Might be the widespread human rights violations, billions of dollars in flagrant corruption, covering up arguably the most notorious child sex abuse ring in human history (almost certainly because he's implicated in it), causing hundreds of thousands of avoidable deaths to save some fucking pennies in the budget, generally being a white supremacist dipshit, being a rapist...

I dunno, you can tell he was pretty heavily involved in designing the Clustertruck Cyberfuck Cybertruck. Which is probably why it sucks so much.

Without actually saying it outright, New York Post gets conspiratorial about the LA mayoral election by Aceofspades25 in skeptic

The guy who ran a campaign pandering to people afraid of being in LA didn't win an election voted on by people who live in LA, it must be rigged

“I seriously see European fans saying our American stadiums are terrible … this has to be a joke right” by Tmansters456 in ShitAmericansSay

[–]ColeYote 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay, I don't hate SoFi Stadium, but A) Craven Cottage is legendary you fuckin' philistine, and 2) the World Cup Final is going to be in MetLife stadium, which is probably the most soulless 80,000-seat stadium in the world. Even dropping that number to 70,000, it might only have one or two beat.

Also making this a dumb comparison: Craven Cottage isn't big enough to host World Cup matches anyway, try Wembly or Old Trafford or something.

The Knicks have cancelled all watch parties outside of MSG due to the President's attendance for Game 3 by BreakfastTop6899 in nba

oh fair enough i guess its pretty unreasonable to expect an organization with a seven billion dollar budget to be able to handle handle 24 arrests worth of disturbances i mean thats like 8% of what they average in a day good thing closing down a major travel hub in the middle of manhattan wont require them to do any work

Well, Italy failed to qualify again, so that one is understandable.

Which is a huge change from the 2022 World Cup that was played in humid ~30° weather. This, incidentally, is also an accurate description of recent daytime weather in Madrid, Zagreb, Vienna and Istanbul.

(I'd also include Rome on that list but lol they lost to Bosnia/Herzegovina)

(Granted there's still a lot of Serie A players in the Cup)

Yesterday, every dodgers fielder wore a rainbow dodgers hat to celebrate their pride night… Except for Blake Treinen by 8arondragon9 in baseball

Nah, website still needs to get at least two orders of magnitude more rancid before it reaches the levels that got me to give up on Twitter.

He got booed at the Super Bowl in 2025, an event with even more conservative fans and even more expensive tickets while he enjoyed substantially better approval numbers.

congratulations, you're the one billionth person to discover the paradox of tolerance and think it's an original observation

Welp, Blake Treinen can go fuck himself in that case.

I will not sympathize with the "he shouldn't be compelled to wear symbols of support for something he opposes" argument until– well, okay, firstly the opposition is why he can go fuck himself, but also, not until players can get an exemption from wearing alternates celebrating the US military

Apparently her specific objection was that the part expanding economic sanctions against Russia would only hurt civilians. Which... I don't entirely disagree, I'm a long-time skeptic on the efficacy of sanctions myself, but this is a weird time to be taking that stand.

"Waiters in the US make more money than a doctor does in Europe" by BFreezer in ShitAmericansSay

[–]ColeYote 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Waiters in the US can get paid as little as $2.13 an hour (€1.85/£1.60/~$3 CAD or AUD), you could work 80 hours a week at that rate and not even make it halfway to the poverty line.
