I can't pinpoint exactly when every fandom subreddit I'm a part of went from jokes, memes, and interesting conversations to incessant bitching and general smarmy negativity, but I sure wish we could go back.
Ya after like 15 yrs on Reddit, it never ceases to amaze me how different most of the world is compared to how it’s viewed on Reddit. America specifically
Yeah what really put me off was when the ooh america is doooooomed front page circlejerk continued on even on the 250th 4th of july. I was like cmon guys can we at least take a one day holiday break from the non-stop negativity? But nope there's no brakes on the reddit doom train not even for a once in a lifetime holiday
What are you talking about? This scandal is a leading news headline around the world and people, most of which have probably never been on, or even heard of reddit, are pissed.
Bro read the room. It’s a scandal all around the world and should have never happened. Referees fuck up all the time (though this time it was 100% deserved btw) yet never get overruled except when the host country is the US and you can’t see the issue.
Not literally, Ronaldo served his 1 game automatic suspension and got a delay on the extra 2 games on account of it being before the World Cup. Which was already massive bullshit and a corrupt/ceiticized decision.
Balogun won’t serve his automatic 1 game suspension. For a card he got in the same tournament. This is 100% unheard of.
Oh FFS it’s a game played on grass where men kick a ball into a net. If you’re angry at 250 million people most of whom know nothing about the game and are just happy to watch it on home soil then get a life. Be angry at FIFA for making the choice. But to be angry at fans most of whom are just trying to enjoy it is something else.
And yet its not gonna make me stop cheering my own country on. Fuck off with this. I am from the US, of course i want my team to win. If you don't, stop watching. Get a hobby. Jesus christ just be happy for the young players playing at the highest level for their country, not for their government, for their country.
I was having a great time until the world's weakest narcissist forced himself on the proceedings. But that's the one thing he's good at, so we shouldn't be surprised.

Yep. Funny how the whole world is having a great time and celebrating while the usual Reddit scum feed off of outrage
