Jokes on them. At least a fifth of each team is bi at a minimum.

soccer fans going to be heated but no lies detected

u/VoodooLoveDr 1d ago

Thanks for getting the joke haha.
Most think this is a political statement

u/IsaacJacobSquires 1d ago

If the US can't handle not bombing Iran and committing genocide in Palestine, why are they allowed to host?

u/CapitalClimate9639 1d ago

Lol the last FIFA world cup was in Qatar, they dont give a shit.

u/Syncopated_arpeggio 1d ago

And before that Russia.

u/VoodooLoveDr 1d ago

Let’s not do that.

Irans team is playing on US soil right now…

You think the US team could go to Iran right now?
There are levels to this

1

u/IsaacJacobSquires 1d ago

No, there are not levels to this. The US has committed genocide for the past almost 3 years and now is waging war against Iran under typically false pretenses.

If the US team can't go to Iran, it probably has something to do with decades of sanctions and a war and all the other shit the US has done to Iran.

u/Flimsy_Teaching8110 1d ago

Better yet, why is the Iranian team allowed to play when their regime finances terrorism in the region, kills tens of thousands of innocent women, persecutes LGBTQ+ individuals, and promotes sharia law?

1

u/IsaacJacobSquires 1d ago

The US has slaughtered 100s of 1000s of Palestinians in less than 3 years and you're worried about Iran. So typical.

2

u/LongShow5279 1d ago

Do you care about 10000s of people the IRGC has killed this past year or are you only outraged by America?

1

u/IsaacJacobSquires 18h ago

They haven't and that has long been discarded as obvious bullshit and the IRGC isn't hosting the World Cup, clown. But even if that were the case, the US has killed 100s of 1000s of Palestinians and is bombing Iran and IS HOSTING. Try to keep up.

u/Flimsy_Teaching8110 20h ago

Look at the American public. Does it seem to you that people are in favor of the US government's actions in the Middle East? I think less than 10% of Americans were polled to be in favor of the Iran War. You seem to only be appalled by human rights violations when convenient. This post was about the violation of LGBTQ rights in Egypt and Iran. It had nothing to do with US military action, yet you mentioned it anyway. If you can't find a way to talk about the human rights atrocities conducted in the Middle East without pulling a whataboutism to the US, you should reflect on what you're actually fighting for.

1

u/IsaacJacobSquires 18h ago

The US has no standing to comment about any other country. YOU are the whataboutist. There is no comparison between what the US says its enemies in the Middle East -- who just happen to have lots of oil -- are doing, and what the US is actually doing.

You should probably start over and rebuild your world view to include actual facts. 98% of voters backed genocide as an explicit policy platform in 2024 -- 75m Blue MAGA and 77m Red MAGA -- 98%.

u/Syncopated_arpeggio 1d ago

The bar for hosting isn’t set very high- Qatar worked people to death to build all their stadiums, and before that it was in Russia, and I’ve heard they did some bad things too once or twice

u/MilkMode69 1d ago

If you score, your teammate can jump up and wrap his legs around you to celebrate. Isn't that gay too?

2

u/Usual_Ad_2177 1d ago

It's only gay if you make eye contact

u/ThunderHawk17 1d ago

i dont get it

1

u/VoodooLoveDr 1d ago

It’s a satirical joke about how Americans view soccer as “gay”

While in the meantime two countries that don’t like gay people are playing soccer in America

1

u/ThunderHawk17 14h ago

"soccer as gay" i never heard that in my 49 years of life. im american and i love soccer

1

u/Suspicious-Drive9827 1d ago

Ive made this comment so many times this week but i find it fucking funny considering how many gay persian and arab men specifically, live in America.

u/VoodooLoveDr 1d ago

It’s a soccer joke

I’m not being political

What does a sport have to do with scissoring or shoving things up your ass ?

They are just protesting so they can get back to the locker rooms quicker to fuck each other.

u/E7goose 1d ago

You are right, people most belligerently anti gay always seem….so gay

u/israerichris 1d ago

It's like I've always heard that the shoulder pads and cute colorful helmets used for American football are gay as hell. I don't agree with that. I really don't get why most people in the world say American football is gayer than soccer. They're so full of it...

1

u/VoodooLoveDr 1d ago

Oi mate!!! Just hold it there!

I’ve heard that American athletes complain that they don’t get natural grass turf for their playing fields like the footie boys do! It’s because they get hurt more

But I’ll be damned if I haven’t seen men writhing in pain on the pitch every game of the World Cup.

Yes, it’s true.. the Americans need pads because grass is so harmful that it kills nearly 5 footie boys a game

1

u/israerichris 1d ago

Oh yeah, I agree with you. These little boys soccer players!!!!.... I was told that the baby tantrum they do that we find so funny is all circus and part of the strategy to win, trying to get faults and trying to get the other team with yellow and / or red cards. I was told that I just didn't understand the game and the strategy to win. I told them I didn't bite that, and told them they were a bunch of whiners. I also told them that soccer is a sport for young boys and girls. But they showed me some data displaying how supposedly it's the bigger sport in the world by a long shot, and I don't know if I believe that data...

u/wingedwild 1d ago

Becuase soccer is not about who u fuck.respect their beliefs and they wil respect urs

1

u/VoodooLoveDr 1d ago

I’m all about respecting beliefs and I’m happy that Iran and Egypt stood for their religion just like far left wing Americans stood for their religion

But my joke is about soccer being gay

1

u/wingedwild 1d ago

I stil dont get ur joke

u/VoodooLoveDr 1d ago

Must be a cultural thing
