To note, also: this isn't about the stadium being lit up in rainbow flags or anything like that, either. What is being demanded is that the city of Seattle cancel all their Pride celebrations on that day, because it also happens to be the day of the match. Which, yeah, is even more of a 'fuck that shit' moment.
Politicizing people's existence is a step towards seeing them as inhuman. When you see someone as inhuman, it makes committing atrocities against them easier. No one should cave to these points of view. Either we all have human rights or no one does.
Okay, why the fuck aren't we boycotting FIFA already? Seriously they look the other way for anything! For money and power, hooligans are a big problem in many nations and none of these football institutions are willing to do anything about them and they are dragging the world back to the dark ages.
Fuck em. You can play the game, they don't own it. No matter how much they act like they do, it's an old game you can always play yourself. And there are so many other sports which don't have orgs like these shit heels like EUFA or FIFA!
I already am! I don't watch football nor do I go to matches. Yet I still get bothered by their hooligans and their enabling of reactionary government bullshit for their own wealth.
Hm, maybe they should consider putting on their big boy pants and respecting our local culture, isn’t that what’s demanded of people when they visit places like Qatar for the WC?
🖕🏻 is the only proper response
Don't like it. Don't play. Easy as that.
Exactly this. If Westerners can accept Qatari alcohol bans, for example, they can suck it the fuck up, or they can just not come.
Not like they're winning it anyway.

Proving that whenever religious people claim LGBT people are "forcing it on everyone" it's just projection
The city can do whatever it wants. Pride will still happen, probably bigger and fancier than it would have otherwise.
yea fuck that shit. seattle is the best and gayest us city and i love it
I've lived near Seattle all my life. Ain't gonna happen.

Being queer is punishable by death in some ME countries, I sure as hell wouldn't go for a pride match there.

The Trump peace prize was the final straw for me. Not that the other stuff hasn't all been bad.
Because I can't boycott something I never participated in to begin with?
Because they think football is just a game
Tell that to the city the hooligans visit. Basically their sanctioned army.
Who is "we" cause I know that ain't French.
You can start boycotting anything at anytime

Why aren't you?
Streisand Effect, ACTIVATE!
They should respect the culture of the country you're in right? Or was that just for Qatar?
Maybe they should withdraw from the WC and give it to a more deserving country
They are among the strongest teams in their respective continents, though.
Poor babies, then play in those lands
They can stay home then 🤷 they won't be missed
They should really learn that they are not the world police and the world doesn't revolve around them
Because that title actually goes to America! /hj
