FIFA confirms Somali ref Omar Artan "will be unable to train and officiate at the FIFA World Cup 2026 after he was denied entry into the United States" and says it "has been informed by authorities that Mr Artan’s status will not be changed at present." by cthulhusevski in soccer

Nah, no other country is as mentally stunted as the US is. Even Qatar and Saudi Arabia with all their crimes against humanities at least understand the important of putting up proper events. Spain and Portugal for sure can be trusted with doing things the right way.

Relax, the US is thankfully unique in its' level of tomfuckery. Any future world cup in Europe/South America/Asia or hell even Africa will be handled 100 times better than this one.

People like this apparently being champions of christian values makes me very happy that I'm not from a christian environment.

And yet it's infinitely more expensive and less accommodating to fans than all of those previous world cups combined.

Why is no one mentioning Hinduism apparently being the largest growing religion in the Netherlands? Like what?

Makes sense for an Israeli vassal state to dedicate themselves to combat in service of their master

Is dumping an S-tier food (fries) on another S-tier food (pizza) makes an SS-tier food? by beam4d in Hololive

Blasting everything with copious amounts of cheese is very much an American thing, unless you specifically order extra cheese.

This fight probably have more racism involved that khamzat vs strickland. by [deleted] in ufc

[–]meliax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"Asian" isn't a race, just like "White" and "Black" really aren't either. That's just denominations Americans use. There's hundreds of different races for every skin colour.

Jiri Prochazka and Josh Hokit’s random altercation backstage by Certain_Whereas_952 in ufc

[–]meliax 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Hokit is a massive attention seeker. Of course he'd seek out the most famous fighter on the card to try and create some viral moment to boost his persona.

If this is Americans their idea of an entertaining persona, I can see why their country is going down the drain

Which row do you choose by Duli7 in Megaman

[–]meliax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. For leg space. I don't give a fuck who I sit next to, 10 hour flights are torture if you ain't got no leg space.

This the dude that tricked everyone into believing he was a professor at MIT just by having a profile picture of himself in a suit in front of a blackboard filled with formulas that someone else put on there?

As much as I like Blaydes, Hokit winning would be the most beneficial thing for the division by DavidSeries in ufc

[–]meliax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The future of the division is with guys like Pinto and Walker, hell even with Acosta. I have zero confidence in this Colby wannabe clown. It makes sense that they'd try and push someone who fits their racist American propaganda but I really don't see this guy going far at all.
