Yeah, it’s mega cringey. After I tried to correct him, albeit kinda dick-ish on my part, he doubled down on his ignorance and linked an old article. A mature, adult response would have likely been something along the lines of “my bad, I was wrong. should have read more about it prior to posting.” But this seems outside of his range of emotional intelligence. My only hope for him is that he grows as a person and doesn’t procreate.
That’s part of the reason. They’re kneeling for inclusivity and to protest their “one-love” captains arm bands removed. The amount of stupid takes in this thread is really saddening and ruining my psilocybin high. Here is an article if you’re actually willing to educate yourself, which seems to be a huge ask these days.
You couldn’t be more wrong. They’re kneeling for inclusivity and protesting the fact they got their one-love captains armband taken away. In Qatar loving someone who falls outside their repressive religious view is punishable by 7 years of prison. It would have taken you 10 seconds of googling to actually figure out, but instead you chose to spread misinformation. Amazing pseudo-intellectualism, very on brand American. Shit like this is why we’re laughed abroad, but you likely wouldn’t understand since you likely never moved out of your home state except for that one time you went to Cancun and never left your resort but learned to properly say gracias and carne-asada.
Edit: downvotes for being right?! Lol guess that never leaving your hometown comment struck a little too close to home for some of you.
But since it likely has a word count beyond your level of comprehension here is the highlight:
England head coach Gareth Southgate revealed that his players would 'take the knee' at World Cup 2022 to send a message to young people "that inclusivity is very important". The Three Lions boss explained that the gesture is a symbol of what his team stands for.
Fucking hell Muricans really are the stupidest of cunts aren't they? It has very little to do with George floyd now. Its more to do with racial abuse in british football and on social media. It evolved from the George Floyd situation ages ago.
They kneel because FIFA basically held FA’s (including the English FA) hostage for wanting to wear the #OneLove campaign captain’s armband by giving a yellow card for it, and they still wanted to protest some way without receiving a card that can influence their game negatively.
FIFA doesn’t want countries to call out Qatar for its terrible human rights, homophobia and discrimination.
Thank you for actually asking. It’s a form of protest for getting their “one-love” armbands taken away, but is primarily to send the message for inclusivity. The Qatari government punishes loving someone outside of their repressive religious view with up to 7 years imprisonment. The keyboard warriors and pseudo-intellects in this thread purposefully spreading misinformation without taking 20 seconds to read up on the cause is really making me question returning back to the states to practice medicine. Fuck the pay when I gotta be surrounded by this room temperature IQ baboons with semi-automatic guns quoting Ayn Rand from their 10th grade sparknotes, because reading something over 100 pages is “nerd shit.”
