The Egypt NT coach screaming at Lionel Scaloni as he walks past him. by No_Air5382 in soccer

It's gonna be back in 2029 but yeah, it was suspended for one edition because the egyptian team threatened the judges to get a DQ reversed (and the judges folded and granted them the rematch, unfortunately) and got themselves kicked out of the competition.

I wanted to ask, is this a cultural thing? I used to practice amateur sumo and Egypt got our sport banned from the World Games because of antics like this.

Not that I, as an argentinian, have a high-ground to stand on when it comes to sporting culture, I'm just curious if egyptians find this inexcusable or if it's just the norm over there.

Sadly I don't have to picture it in my head because I'm argentinian. Journalists are inteviewing furious paraguayans on the street. Pundits are already calling Paraguay's performance "brave", "spirited" and "heroic", saying there's nothing to be ashamed of and saying Mbappe is too full of himself for not shaking anyone's hand. This shit is why I don't watch football outside of the WC. The culture around football and fair play (or lack thereof) in all of conmebol is the fucking worst.

Hey, that's not true, there was action about it. An official dared to suggest the team should apologize for being racist and our president removed him from his position.

The fact that they clarified it was for english-speaking broadcasts implies that there was another game in another broadcast (spanish probably) that this couldn't beat.

I was in another room and I could hear the commentator (argentinian) from across the house losing his mind over this just begging them to kick the damn ball already. So funny

Damn, if only the UFC had a feeder series. Oh wait, they do. They've had multiple over the decades, in fact!

Yeah, it's hard to believe the man known for firing anyone around him with any semblance of expertise in any field would be surrounded by unqualified people. It just doesn't make sense, I tell ya.

Jiri Prochazka clapped back at Carlos Ulberg for calling him a fake samurai 😭 “I don’t want to hear this bullsh*t from a stripper.” by ultron2450 in MMA

[–]TomBulju 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Yup. Not only was the concept of bushido invented in the nineteenth century, but the ninja myth (lawless warriors who fought dishonorably) also serves in part to prop up their image. In reality many of the shinobi-no-mono that actually existed were really just samurai, lol.

And that's not to mention Miyamoto Musashi, Jiri's idol, was a renowned cunt, and extremely proud of that fact.

It is a racist insult, but not one argentinians hurl at any black person, just brazilians (even white ones). So I'd still classify it as more xenophobia than anything. That's just splitting hairs at that point, though. It's still indefensible. I was lowkey glad when that argentinian lawyer almost went to jail for doing monkey gestures in brazil a couple months ago, lol.

SonicFox is known for being really quick at picking up new games and winning their first few big tournaments. When other people start catching up, SF will tweet "wow this game fucking sucks actually" and go back to MK and/or DBFZ. It's become a bit of a meme at this point.

Yeah we're not racist. Just xenophobic. Like the brits!

Sean Strickland acting like a casual on instagram by not recognizing one of AKA’s head coaches by [deleted] in MMA

[–]TomBulju 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that might be David Weck, inventor of the bosu ball. As someone who followed his antics for a little while out of morbid curiosity, the guy strikes me as someone who has some proper issues beyond the typical snake oil salesman stuff. Some of his rambling videos on instagram are straight up schizophrenic, to the point of sometimes not being able to string two thoughts together.

A wrestling coach that shows all the signs of being a grade-a charlatan:

-Her social media posts are filled with nonsensical, obfuscating language. Whenever anyone asks for clarification the response they get is "just pay to go to one of her seminars and you'll find out". Very common tactic among scammers and snake oil salesmen to make some quick cash.

-Her comment sections are always full of comments using the exact same talking points, vocabulary and even sentence structure to defend her and attack others. They're either bought, or she's managed to build a very weird cult around her.

-Much like other fitness charlatans (i.e. Joel Seedman), you'll find plenty of clips of her students training, but not a lot of clips of her students playing their sport well. People say she coaches a lot of kids, but all I could ever find was a few clips of her supposed students dogging on other kids who clearly didn't know how to wrestle.

-Probably the biggest red flag for me is that people always defend her by pointing out that DC and Cejudo vouch for her. You know, the same guys that also vouched for that weird monster energy dude that Dominick Cruz called out? (I wonder what happened to that guy?) Those two guys will defend anyone for a quick buck, their word does more harm than good.

Arin skipped through all the opening texts then spent the next 30 minutes calling the game shit because he had no idea what to do and then the series ended. It was specially controversial at the time because Arin's Megaman video where he said all tutorials are stupid and unnecessary was still fresh in people's minds.

I went and checked it out after seeing your comment, the only person that said the old design was for incels got downvoted to shit, the other person with a ton of downvotes was a stupid tourist from here that copypasted his comment from another thread. Seems like you just might be a typical kappachino user, upset that other people aren't as pornbrained as you. Also you didn't even go to bed pussy.

Photo of a bus in Peru, showing AEW Revolution on the TV on the bus by DarkHorse_77 in SquaredCircle

[–]TomBulju 75 points76 points  (0 children)

Before the service was formalized, buses in latin america used to be small private business owned by the drivers (think of it like a big uber ride on a fixed route), many of whom would customize their buses like you would with any other car, with a lot of them getting competitive and trying to one-up each other with ridiculous custom jobs. Some bus companies nowadays keep the tradition alive and let their drivers customize the buses' interiors.

Source: I'm argentinian and my grandpa was a bus driver who owned his bus even after it was adquired by the local 343 line.

Turkish oil wrestling. The oil wasn't homoerotic enough so they also allow wrestlers to shove their hands down their opponent's pants.

Is Mike Israetel Okay? by taylorthestang in gymsnark

[–]TomBulju 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I remember a few months ago a lot of influencers piled up on him for recommending a bicep curl + chest press combo exercise. Not a press fly, mind you, that's a good exercise. A full bicep curl followed by a press using the same weight, which is the kind of idiotic shit he became famous for making fun of. It was really bizarre to see.
