Guys, you need to get out a bit. Being so upset about others enjoying their time is mad.
Other enjoying their time with sports usually involves destroying the city and making the streets completely insecure for several nights. Like what happened in Paris when the PSG won.
Usually? Come on, get real.
Hooliganism is still really common, yes.
Yeah, that's why any city that has a professional sport playing somewhere immediately declares martial law and implements a citywide curfew until it's clear the celebrations are over.
Most teams are discouraged from winning anything significant. Cities literally bribe the officials to keep their teams out of any championships.
For many, it's the equivalent of dealing with smokers in the 70s and 80s, you cannot escape football and the world cup. In a neighborhood I used to live (Brazil), half my neighbors would play up really fucking loud music, the kind that shakes your windows, as commemoration after a world cup victory
No, they should get out. I don't need to hear shouting in my apartment.
tbf mass tribalism effects everyone not just the participants.
On the internet: I mod a nolympics comm and constantly hate on the world cup.
IRL: I watch/pirate every game of the world cup. I won't watch the olympics though. It's nothing but boredom, commercials, nationalism... But yeah, I let others have their fun like I have mine.
