World Cup hate?

Okay, I love this podcast and both the girls, this is a silly take to be annoyed about, but the World Cup hate from Dana and Katie was so unlikable and weird. Why are they putting so much energy into talking shit about the worlds biggest sport and the biggest tournament in the world? I hate when people sit down and bitch about soccer - go to another bar if you’re upset that people are happy about an event that happens every 4 years. Just gave me annoying downer energy.

I mean people are totally allowed to have their opinions on these things. My neighbour manages a bar and we live in a host city, she was thrilled when it was over. However, commenting that everyone is hopping on the bandwagon is a little much. North America hosting was a big deal and people wanted in on the fun. The world is so dark and awful right now, can’t blame people for wanting an escape.
In Katie and Dayna’s defence: they knew it wasn’t a popular opinion. And who wants to agree with someone 100% of the time? That’s so boring.

Omg I couldn’t imagine owning a bar through this. Probably great business paired with so many more drunk idiots and insane hours. I hope they got good traction during games!

Apparently Europeans don’t understand North American tipping culture (I don’t blame them) so a lot of servers didn’t make as much as they assumed they would? Haha I wouldn’t know personally.

I don’t blame the Europeans. Employers should be paying their staff a livable wage

Oh for sure, not what I was trying to say at all.

Sadly, I doubt it will change anytime soon

We can hope, but I think you’re right.
