    Strong disagree on football (soccer). Because of it’s popularity and influence it gets away with being the most disgustingly corrupt sport there is. FIFA is organizing championships in stadiums build with slave labor. They gave a peace prize to a fascist just to make sure nothing will stop them from gauging ticket prices. Overall: 🤮

    Then again, I also don’t really care about sports :) Definitely not professional ones. It all gets ugly once money is involved.

      Oh absolutely, but soccer isn’t killing the players is what I meant. Though I also was thinking of MLS not FIFA. Sorry, I can be a bit American sometimes
