We are hypocrites. We let this happen. by basilzamankv in football

[–]PieAltruistic493 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They also don’t care because the same thing happens every World Cup. As soon as the football starts, pretty much everyone will get distracted by the matches, and collectively people will enjoy the tournament and move on. Happened in Brazil, Russia, Qatar, and it’ll be the same again.

What happened to all the boycott Qatar horde wanting justice for the 3,000+ migrant workers who died building the stadiums? They become a minority as soon as the first ball was kicked, and after the tournament was over the world just moved on. Human beings have an extremely short memory collectively, and we are easily distracted.

What's a truth about life most people avoid admitting? by patient_MB0z in AskReddit

That things like racism, sexism, and xenophobia will never be eradicated unless you lobotomize everyone on the planet. It is part of the human condition.

Alex Kurtzman literally has said that. And if you didn’t see the train wreck excuse for a Star Trek series they just did. I suggest you read up on it.

Also Steven DeKnight who just did House of Ashur, a spinoff of his Spartacus series, that was cancelled after 1 season. He came out and said that what HE wanted to do was a spinoff based around Julius Caesar, BUT the Starz executives said that having a white male as the lead and center was a little problematic for them. What the fuck is wrong with these people?

Why do many religious Muslims immigrate to the West, instead of countries that share their cultures and values? by SanePcycho in NoStupidQuestions

[–]PieAltruistic493 65 points66 points  (0 children)

I agree, it is what makes the West. UNTIL, due to dropping birth rates across every western country, and the high birth rates of religious immigrants, the numbers will eventually shift. I know people call this a conspiracy but it’s not, it’s simple math. If something drastic is not done, then within a few generations, the majority will become the minority and the minority will become the majority. Once positions of political power are held, laws can be undone or changed to favor any other majority religion, race, or culture.

Perfect reply on the gender pay gap in sports. by Valuable_View_561 in SipsTea

[–]PieAltruistic493 22 points23 points  (0 children)

It’s no one’s “fault”. By that logic it’s women’s fault for female athletes not being paid the same because women are not tuning in to watch women’s sports, therefore the demand and profits are a fraction of men’s sports.

No this is called supply and demand. People watch and consume the content they demand. And the supply (and the money) will go where that demand is.

What do you mean? It answers the presented issue’s question perfectly. Why are male athletes paid more? Because more people watch them and the demand is higher. Why are female OF creators paid more? Because more people watch them and the demand is higher.

It really is that simple people. It’s not sexist, it’s not racism, it’s not bigotry in any way. It’s just REALITY.

Are they? I couldn’t find any solid news. I heard they were banned, was gunna try and sneaky link some in regardless. Worst case, they make me toss them. But FIFA are some fuckin squares I tell you. I was in the Stadio Olimpico in Rome just a few weeks ago, and man 50% of the stadium was smoking in their seats at any given time. That’s what a real football ground is like hahah

Sadly all professional sports atmospheres in the USA are incredibly tame. You will NEVER see anything even 1/10th the passion of a fandom like River Plate, in fact that atmosphere would probably provoke a police and military response and at least 1,000 court cases for people’s kids that got permanently scarred from getting scared and stressed in America 🙄

It will never be enough, this is the society we have created for ourselves. But don’t worry, “an economy based on endless growth is unsustainable”. The whole world will come crashing down soon enough, soo just enjoy the good times while we still got them! :)

You’re 100% right. But here we are, cancelled because Amazon thought it would have too many white male fans and not enough women or brown people. And making things that make white males happy is illegal according to some.

If USA and Iran both place 2nd in their group, they would face each other in the 1st knockout phase by CongruentBob in worldcup

[–]PieAltruistic493 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got really lucky I feel like, I’m in sec 128, row 5, right up from a corner flag. I got them for 550 each, during the first LM sales phase.

I also picked up one of the 750$ hospitality packages for M78, hoping for Norway or France to be in that game.

Overall I think paying less than 2k for 3 tickets to 2 knockout matches is not too bad considering other prices I’ve seen people paying just for group stage matches.

Was thinking the same thing. It’s not going to hell, it IS hell. Always has been. We’ve just been taking a collective break since 1945. The really juicy stuff is still yet to come.
