that one quirky post going on about how sports aren't that serious 𤪠hashtag my game đ was so out of touch. don't tell people their whole career isn't that serious, come on now. can you imagine training for decades just for some rando on tumblr to claim it's "uh âď¸đ¤ not a big deal"? i'd be furious
people die when fights break out during matches. hooligans have done some nasty shit worldwide
a few years ago a young brazilian woman was caught in the crossfire of a fight after a football match and got hit on the neck by glass shards from a bottle some nitwit threw near her -- she died and i think he's still serving time
english teams were banned from participating in european competitions for a number of years after dozens of people were killed in the 80s during a nasty fight between juventus and liverpool fans (i think a wall collapsed and crushed people or something to that effect)
there's a spike in domestic violence against women whenever there's a match going on bc men become even more violent
becoming a professional athlete is the only way out of generational poverty for a lot of people.
every time a trans identified male gets a spot in a female competition, a woman loses that opportunity. it could lead to some serious life changing consequences
"it's not that serious!" my ass
