I'll repeat what I said the last time about laliga...
> Foot egg is so ingrained into the countrymen that nothing else matters.
> There wouldn't be so much of a forced monopoly if more people would stop watching games and stand up to laliga.
> Complaining on the internet every time laliga shuts down github etc isn't going to change anything, we can't solve your problems, the change has to come from within.
Props to the court for telling laliga to go away.
- JrProgrammer 5mo agoRefering to football as foot egg when it’s actually a ball as opposed to the hand egg in the US is weird to me. OT: La Liga shouldn’t have this kind of power and it’s good to see the court take a stance
- nubinetwork 5mo agoThey call American football handegg, we should be able to do the opposite. :P
- louthy 5mo agoWhich is foot ball. Not foot egg.
- Yiin 5mo agothat just sounds petty for the sake of pettiness, surely you can do better in terms of mocking
- ktallett 5mo agoThe opposite would be foot ball. Although both are petty as anyway both are called it because it is played on foot with a ball. Not because you use your foot to kick a ball.
- AndrewDucker 5mo agoThe opposite of "hand egg" is not "foot egg". And the point is that the object played in "American Football" is not a ball. Balls are round. It is egg shaped. The object played in "Football" is a ball. Describing the ball in football as an egg just makes you look like you can't see properly.
- cobbzilla 5mo agoi get it, it’s not the canonical “egg shape”, but many eggs (fish/frogs/etc) are spherical.
- AndrewDucker 5mo ago"Foot Fish-egg" would be pretty funny, I agree.
- Symbiote 5mo agoFoot-roe, or foot-spawn for amphibians.
- dfxm12 5mo agoSoccer is also known as "divegrass", not footegg...
- swiftcoder 5mo ago> There wouldn't be so much of a forced monopoly if more people would stop watching games I don't think giving up one's national sport is really the right response here. We should absolutely be able to enjoy sports without bowing down to regulatory-capture-by-former-government-ministers
- nubinetwork 5mo ago> We should absolutely be able to enjoy sports without bowing down to regulatory-capture-by-former-government-ministers You're right, you absolutely should... but the only way to tell them that you don't like their policies is to stop giving them your money.
- tancop 5mo agoand how do you stop giving them money? you watch it on a pirate site where none of the revenue is going to the league. not watching it at all is just performative sacrifice
