This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I hate that the end of every news segment on radio and TV ends in "sports".

Sports is not fucking news. Stop wasting our fucking time perpetuating a tribalist game

What exactly did you think the political section was about?

[–] CarstenBoll@feddit.dk -5 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Sport is politics in Europe, at least. It's important who you support because sports clubs are often tied to political movements.

You don't want to support Lazio, for instance, and Real Madrid was Franco's club.

Anyway, politics is also a sort of game as you say.

Football hooliganism must be the endgame of "everything is political." I see it as something to preferably be avoided personally.

Not every European country. I’d wager it’s mostly Southern and Eastern Europe where that is the case.

True, though there's also FC St. Pauli (antifascist) vs Hansa Rostock (neonazi). Can't think of anything from Denmark, off the top of my head, or the UK. Not much of a football fan tbh.

In the UK it’s tied to social class rather than political party.
