I get really put-off by all this snarky, performative "sportsball" mockery, as if sports are only for dumb jocks and beneath the consideration of me, the vaunted intellectual (i.e. "person who sits online all day"). Athletes are artists. Artists of the human body and of physics. What makes that any less worthwhile of an endeavor than some pedantic nerd shit? This is gonna be a great game, and I can always read my books from the library later. #esparg #worldcup #sports #sportsball #athletics

I'm not a football fan, or maybe I just like top-level football (like everything else I like). I only watch a few important matches every four years, during the World Cup. This year the overall level has been very good, with several good teams and many good players. The final was a great match and a well-deserved victory for Spain. But this is the first time I've seen the repercussions on #mastodon and what has surprised me is the extraordinary number of idiots there are (not that I didn't know) and the stupid ideas they have. The mere fact that they mix politics (or what they think is politics) with almost everything they do and see (the little they understand) clearly demonstrates their intellectual deficiency. These things make me use social media less and less, or use it in "read-only" mode, so as not to waste time and energy on idiotic people. I'll think more carefully about how to use this. #argentina #worldcup #esparg #futbol

The Argentina team really are like pathetic bullies. They’ve been running around physically pulling, pushing, and hitting the Spanish players and the second anything happens to them they’re off crying to the ref. Play fair or man up lads 😒 #EspArg #WorldCup
