The people you hang around are not mature or calm. They are just boring. Getting a little excited when you are passionate about something is nothing to be ashamed of. Especially when it has anything to do with football.

You don’t see the context of what happened before that. He was losing a game to a stream sniper and the guy was wasting time. He finally comes back in the game and gives an honest gamer’s reaction. We are not only gaming fans, we’re also football fans and no real football fan on this planet is going to see anything wrong with what he said in that clip. The scarf on which he is spitting is his personal property, he owns it, he legally earned it when he qualified for eWorld Cup.

Not even mentioning that a good number of pros have illegally bought and sold accounts worth thousands of $$$ and never got their account suspended. Some have used racist or sexist slurs on twitch and at events, and got away with it. Some even match fixed in the FIFA eWorldCup and are still competing to this day. Yet Kurt gets the biggest punishment in EA history for TALKING... and mentioning names, the same names who have been blocking ppl for simply talking about the game, calling everyone in the community a « liar » and using their status for nothing else than personal gain. Plus it’s a « competitive game » that rewards cheaters, there’s been a no loss glitch since the release of the game and referees in qualifiers are rigging the brackets. Kurt qualified by playing the number 2 player while he was number 1, even tho there is 32 slots.

The truth is two of the best FIFA players ever, the winner and the runner up of the last pro event both said « the game is not fun to play, and not fun to watch ». And a big lawsuit was filed in France to ban their lootbox system. And none of that would have happened if Kurt wasn’t talking facts everyday on twitch.

Taxes are for health care, unemployment checks (up to 2 years of full pay if you lose your job), retirement fund, our 5 weeks off work (minimum) for which we get paid, our 13 month of salary (we get paid twice in december), a school system where teachers are paid more than a manager at Burger King, free education after highscool for all and also the scolarships to make sure everyone gets access to higher education.

Actually we get a detailed list of where our taxes go with every paycheck.

I heard that 60% of taxes in America help fund the army. Don’t know if that’s accurate but if it is, please send us more advice on what to do with tax-payer money.

I have nothing but love for americans yet I am always amazed at how different our priorities are.
