The absolute minimum has been done

The true surprise in this case was how long it took. It was literally on camera observed by millions via TV or thousands in the stadium. How was there any room for debate?!

There was no debate about if it happened, I'm sure that the only internal debate was about the cost of keeping him vs protecting their own because that's their policy. Fuck them for taking so long though, I sure hope that this is a big economical hit for them.

It took both the women's and men's national teams going on strike to generate enough pressure for this to happen. The Spanish FA is seriously screwed up

[–] fushuan@lemm.ee 16 points 2 years ago

Agreed. This was not a moral decision at all, it was a numbers game.

The farmer?!

Definitely. I like to use that version of the meme specifically for the irony. It was basically my reaction when I heard that he was essentially blacklisted. "Oh no! Aaaaaanywayyy."

Dude hung on like a dingleberry.

I luv the euphemisms to "sexual assault"

This guy needs to be kicked, first in the nuts and then out of sports forever. As a warning to every turbodouche like him.

[–] youthinkyouknowme@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 2 years ago

Took his time though. POS

My stupid ass watched a Youtube video about this and the comment section broke my heart. Thanks Lemmy users for restoring my faith in Europe-based, over-30, left leaning internet users.

Why doesn't he care about his poor mother on a hunger strike in that church?

[–] toastus@feddit.de 5 points 2 years ago

Because she quit that rather fast.
