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
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.
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.
Lucky bastards. I wish my country didn’t qualify so I would be spared all those stupid World Cup news and neighbor’s viewing parties.
Guys, you need to get out a bit. Being so upset about others enjoying their time is mad.

Usually? Come on, get real.
tbf mass tribalism effects everyone not just the participants.
No, they should get out. I don’t need to hear shouting in my apartment.
Everytime I wish my country doesn’t qualify. It’s the worst.
And if they win they ruin the city.
Ruint! But I’m with you. Football is more fun to play than watch, and there are far better justifications for rioting than a game.
Nothing new in human behavior. The Nika Riots is one of the deadliest to have happened in Constantinople because of a chariot race.
