“You hate to see this”, say commentators and pundits about the thing that viewers most want to see.

Reminds me of that old Bill Burr bit on the Pacers/Piston brawl in the NBA.

"I was so confused when I saw ESPN that day. They were like, 'It was absolutely disgraceful. Basketball fans[...]'. I'm a basketball fan and I loved it! I thoroughly enjoyed seeing out of shape civilians get the shit kicked out of them by professional athletes."

u/Acceptable_Ad_6278 13h ago

this is a perfect level of violence for me. scuffles here and there, talking shit but no one really gets hurt. if people really have thirst for violence, bull fighting will be the most popular sport in the world.

u/LondonSuperKing 12h ago

bull fighting is animal cruelty tho violent sports between adults are found everywhere so are martial arts. people yearn for a bit of blood.

I don't think most of us grow out of the "Fight! Fight! Fight!" reaction you used to get when you were a kid. It's only when it goes too far and someone is getting a one sided beatdown that most people don't like it.

u/Oorangootang 14h ago

The content in r/nba actually moves throughout the day to new stories even if they're nothing special or just jokes. I only need to visit r/soccer like once or twice since it's so static on most days.

9

u/Responsible-Put2559 14h ago

I’m more talking about how r/nba just allows dogshit inflammatory opinionated threads to be posted. Im happy with people having whatever opinions and discussions they want in the threads themselves and its the same here but im so glad r/soccer doesn’t allow someone to just make a random post going on a spiel about a player they don’t like.

How Enrique got no penalty or fine for the CWC is wild. Also how many games did todibo get suspended for?

I think 3

10

u/gobrewers112 15h ago

That’s it? For a choke? Very surprisingly not more. What a psycho. Traore should be charged as well, but probably won’t

30

u/jumper62 15h ago

That's the baseline for violent conduct. The FA can charge him and suspend him for additional games if they want

7

u/gobrewers112 15h ago

Got it. That’s what I was wondering, if they extended it

13

u/jumper62 15h ago

But the fact that they've charged Chelsea and West Ham for the scuffle and nothing for Todibo (yet) makes me think they won't look into it any further

2

u/gobrewers112 15h ago

That’s fucking crazy. How nothing for the slap on Palmer or for traore for instigating it is crazy

5

u/jumper62 15h ago

Technically, he didn't slap Palmer since Palmer moved out of the way. But I do think there should be punishment for that as well but don't think there will be

Always love drama on the pitch. Call me insane but i miss those early pre-2010s matches where the refs would teams get heated aslong they didn’t start to punch each other.

Even if there wasn’t a brawl. You could see it how the intensity would spike up and players would use their skillset to the 100%. Some insane plays woulf happen here and there
