>>13055372Sports have historically been an outlet for friendly patriotism, a non lethal clash between rivalling groups. Football in particular have combined artistry with a greater chess game as well as a physical battle for 90 minutes with the best athletes any group or nation can bring to the table.
But then some nations felt it was unfair and started recruiting talented players of another kin, and managers from other places. They became prostitutes who only cared about winning or "winning enough" to turn a profit and sell tshirts for their divas. The divas draw crowds and keep the money flowing, so rules have to be tightened.
Sports today is just soulless bureaucrats using talented people to make money. Nobody should care about this.
Ffs, Belgium and France have "national" teams that are 70% negro, and Germany have what... 3 German players? The only reason to watch now is if you enjoy the weak version of the actual game and the talent displayed by managers and individual divas. I still find beauty in the game, but it is not what it once was or what it was intended to be. It is a raped corpse of what once was.
