Israel Murdered A FIFA Football Referee, Assistant Referee, And 3 Players From The Palestinian National

words cannot express how pissed off i am at the news of trump being invited to the championship game on thursday. so a fascist president can be invited to a game, but players can't wear pride jerseys or any other specialized jerseys during warm ups? it's "keep politics out of sports" until the politics align with your harmful views

‼️‼️

If you're having trouble keeping up with what's going on in Palestine because of US news coverage of university protests, here are some articles you can read and a video you can watch:

While CNN & all the other mainstream media try to paint the university protests as "pro terrorism" (which they're not, they're literally anti-war protests.) Palestinians are being slaughtered by the minute.

Please don't stop speaking about Palestine.

south africa was banned in the olympics in 1964, 1968, 1972, 1976, 1980, 1984, 1988 & 1992. a total of 8 times. for 28 years they didn't set foot in the olympics. you know why? apartheid. apparently the olympics disagreed with the apartheid regime in south africa. russia & belarus aren't allowed to take part in the olympics this year. you know why? because of their involvement in the war in ukraine. several countries throughout history haven't been allowed to participate in the olympics because of various reason from their involvement in war to human rights abuses. now if the olympics aren't blind to all that... why in the world are they blind to what israel has been doing to gaza for the past 10 months? why is a genocidal apartheid nation allowed to participate in the olympics when any other country in its place would've been banned?

is now a good time to talk abt "it's not about politics" in relation to sports. i'm sorry but literally everything is about politics are you stupid 😭 what a stupid sentence i hate it so much. and i've yet to see anyone draw a line in the sand about what "about politics" actually means. in the case of hockey it seems to be that visiting the white house isn't political, it's just tradition. but pride tape is too political, and the sport isn't about politics. in the case of f1, wearing a shirt to raise awareness for human rights is too political and why do you have to bring politics into our sport, but allowing a convicted felon running for president into the garage of one of the top teams is fine, bc it's obviously not about politics.

it's literally just a buzzword that people throw around to excuse some behaviour, and not others.

and i'm sorry, but in a world where professional athletes can go on podcasts and talk abt how they're totally not sexist, but they just don't think people should be allowed to get abortions, and where alex ovechkin has been basically doing the work of putin's PR team for the last twenty years, everything is fucking political. even staying silent and having no observable political opinions is still political, because ignorance is a privilege that a lot of people can't afford. there is no possible way to seperate politics from something as commodified and commercialised as professional sports

With so much of the news cycle focused on the crackdowns on American universities, I wanted to post news out of Palestine today:

Israel completes the shutdown of local Al Jazeera offices, making it that much more difficult to get out dissenting information:

Bombings continue in Rafah, where 7-month-old Hani Qishta, already orphaned, was killed himself. (I've blurred the image but if you click on source, it's unblurred.)

This is how I learned that Orthodox Christians paint their Easter eggs red, not the pastel I'm used to. The number of Christians in Gaza is tiny and shrinking fast during this genocide.

The person posting this, Hossam Shabat, is one of the last journalists in north Gaza. He's 21 years old and has already see more despair than most people will in a lifetime.

All universities in Gaza have been destroyed, and thousands of students and hundreds of professors killed.

Congrats to this family and best wishes to young Haron. He has big shoes to fill.

williams really said "guys we're gonna test out the scientific method. if we do the same thing (putting an unprepared rookie in an F1 car) twice and we observe the results: we'll find out if we really put Logan Sargeant's career in an early grave or not! stay tuned to find out what happens to this poor F2 driver with another whole career ahead of him! we might just ruin that too!" like hm yeah why WOULD we try to learn from our mistakes? might as well test a theory. for the good of the sport. jesus christ

One thing that pisses me OFF, is the fact that people don't know how to use tags anyone. Like why are you tagging irrelevant stuff.

Why is f1 tagged in a post about football?Why is there SMUT in the FLUFF tag? Why are written stories in the smau tag? Why are you tagging Oscar Piastri in a post about Charles Leclerc?

JUST USE TAGS THAT ARE INVOVLED IN THE POST!!!!!

There is no reason to have to scour through abunch of posts that have no fucking reason to be there shouldn't be there to get to posts the are actually about the tag.

me to posts that don't have anything to do with the tag I'm looking at:

The only reason I started watching the leafs halfway into the season(first season watching nhl)

idk about you but personally i’m a big fan of our goalie tandem
