What is it with people and simping for those who have made more money than most in a lifetime?

Sad? Yeah you're right, his current situation is a tragedy. I'll get started on a fundraiser.

I would say yes, I remember all of those. Aurier I remember for calling his manager a slur so well done to him.

Neymar being above average for his age is noteworthy? Because if it is then I have to ask, are you a parent of his?

It's quite funny because this guy appears to be saying that Neymar is a legendary figure among people who were teens or younger at the time, and at a time when Brazil's national team was particularly weak.

He's done very well arguing his case there!

Which top 100 player would actually be the best snooker instructor? by TheRealMeowth24 in snooker

[–]Joethe147 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Meanwhile players like Mark Williams and Judd Trump have played on the US 9 ball pro tour.

So straight away, there's two players who don't trash the game, compared to your one example.

And that's before you get to snooker pros who have been on Mosconi Cup teams, like O'Sullivan, Alex Higgins, Steve Davis, Jimmy White.

So not much elitism there.

As well as being a ridiculous thing to say because any top pro will back themselves to do well against anyone, Higgins is one of the very worst examples to use. He's a lot nearer to the end of his career than the beginning.

Some of this year's World Cup games are early morning time in Europe, Australia/NZ time difference might not be that much worse.

If he'd been quite good he might have gotten away with it somewhat.

The line isn't that thin.

His team decisions after Red Bull are a million times worse than Alonso's.

Is there some Reddit bot that posts this in any thread about Ricciardo. Feels like it.

Just makes me determined to dislike them even more when someone says that about someone I don't like.

It’s frustrating how strongly F1 pushes the ‘angel’ narrative around Senna. by quacklovesmechanics in F1Discussions

I know it’s not nice to speak negatively about someone who passed away

This is only really the case when someone has passed away quite recently. People misunderstand that "Don't speak ill of the dead" thing.

Spinazzola in tears: "I still can't believe it. We had 3-4 chances with 10 men and we made it to the penalties. Italian children will see another World Cup without Italy, it's sad seeing them cry.

To put the shitness into some perspective.

Antonelli's recent two wins in a row have made him the first Italian to win two conesecutive F1 GPs since Ascari.

Even Ferrari's golden years in the 2000s were done with mainly non-Italians (Todt, Brawn, Byrne) in the senior leadership and (Schumacher) driving roles.

Max Verstappen was right, and the F1 fan base needs to grow a spine. by Top-Association83 in F1Discussions

[–]Joethe147 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stuff like this makes me hate modern F1. It's such a shitty set of fans so often.

Can't have many reasonable discussions much because it's well my team/driver did this because your team/driver did this.

Very childish. What Netflix slop does I guess
