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.

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

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?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago
