Since I don't see much football stuff on Lemmy, this is Mohammed Salah, an Egyptian footballer and premier league royalty. YNWA
YNWA made me think of what Muslims say about Mohammed.
This is a famous footballer Salah (YNWA)
It stands for You'll Never Walk Alone, it's a motto and anthem of Liverpool FC.
Will he burn if there’s crosses in the Museum?
Can someone explain the reactionary joke I'm missing here, what does this mean.
You see, when football is mentioned online, the collective intelligence of any comment section is cut by at least 90%. This stacks with another 90% if it’s women’s football or any token LGBT acknowledgement in football. The joke is Muslim Bad.
Which is a shame. I used to make fun of le sportsball amirite until it clicked that there was immense entertainment value in these matches, which could be super tense and exciting even when an individual match doesn’t have super high stakes. There’s storylines with each of the players and managers, there’s a lot of diverging personalities among them and they all handle the same game in their own way. And unlike scripted shows, when something unexpected happens it is so much more interesting. Like the story is real in a way that scripted entertainment isn’t.
Maybe that’s what some people are missing! Those who think the pitch is too big, it’s too slow, goals too infrequent, whatever the common gripes are.
Football is one of the most scripted sports ever. I mean just look at Polish league for example, le huge sponsor arrives, puts locally large sum of money into some really shit team in 3rd league which barely existed for last 80 years due to persistence of local schoolteachers and suddenly boom, in 2 seasons that club is winning country championship.
The only real sports remaining are those that do not have money in it.
umm, piracy bro. Pirating sports streams or torrents is an ancient practice, check out [email protected] their megathread, ask their or check out the freemediaheckyeah site (you find it on their subreddit).
for news I use an arabic site called Kooora I don't know what English site is popular, using a British free VPN you can view youtube videos of highlights from their local channels, they make these highlights cuz they hold copyrights.
I'm not urging you to watch football, just that not having money isn't a reason not to do so.
Nah, he doesn't really care. He even celebrates Christmas with his family
Why would he not celebrate Santas birthday?
Huh?
What does YNWA stand for/mean?
It's a typo for YMCA.
You'll Never Work Again
Close, but it's a threat: You'll Never Walk Again. They are kneecapping people up in here.
It's something the Dunmer often say.
You'll Never Walk Alone. It's liverfool football club's motto. They sing it at every game. People get it tattooed.
Thanks!
