No, sometimes it is just Spanish football as for everything behind Cloudflare.

It's intentional- If people can't use the internet they're more likely to watch the "game." For once management might have learned something from employees- take a dive, cry foul.

At least you get some message about why. I'm on Vodafone and the only thing I saw was "Por causas ajenas a Vodafone, esta web no está disponible". Fucking censorship sucks, and seemingly people still see Spain as a modern democracy when shit like this happens in public and everyone knows about it, yet here we are. Because of football we can't browse the web when there are matches...

  Who sees Spain as a modern democracy? Only those who benefit from the rampant clientelism.

    Most people outside of Spain? Just as one example, "The Economist Democracy Index" lists Spain at spot 21, yet we have rampant government censorship, make that make sense.

      Those lists are a joke. They show how much the priorities of the government align with those of the newspaper they are printed on.

        Right, another thing you can try (if you haven't) is traveling to any country except Spain and think what those people think of Spain, and you'll learn the same thing.
