Thomas Harris97 said:It’s just like when that John Doe guy over at Fox claimed France would be playing the Americans in the finals, and he didn't even say it until an hour before the game against Norway started. And here's another thing that really burns me up—if Linus got benched because he wasn't performing, how is it that Kate's adrenaline levels suddenly make them great again out of nowhere?
I mean, our whole sports scene just feels rigged as long as the mob is running the show. It’s most obvious in football since that’s where the massive money is, but honestly, all these other sports are basically held hostage by the same crowd of shady characters.
It’s always the same faces, I guess. They're just perfect for keeping the system running through every era. There's zero actual drive to win; it's more about having a smooth transition. You get coaches who don't demand anything, they just sit there being "wise" and silent, occasionally throwing some ash on themselves for dramatic effect, offering their services up like a prayer to some supernatural force... it's exhausting to listen to.
The French are clearly a supernatural force of their own.
In America, every single athlete seems obsessed with landing a job later—coaching gigs, commentary roles, color commentator spots... and none of them actually succeed at any of it.
Then you have the Coordinator. A role that should require actual dedication, hard work... maybe even speaking up once in a while.
And now, ticket sales for the 2018 World Cup are already starting. But against whom? For which games...? The finals?
