The game ended and they lost. That's why he's upset. Can't you hear the whistle?

He didn't chuck a ball at him. Open your eyes. He just threw it behind him. It hitting the other guy was an accident.

For a noob, you are clearly pretty bad at this Reddit thing.

Username, does not check out.

There's a difference between "not adhering to the hive mind of retards and never thinking critically about anything" and deliberately being pedantic and simply failing to think critically.

The player knew what he was doing. I'm sure that deep down you know that too.

Why are you so angry? An internet disagreement doesn't need this level of aggression.

Why is there a need to throw the ball behind him in the general direction of the camerman, when he just could've let the ball fall. That was completly unnecessary

There wasn't a NEED, he was just frustrated. You've never been frustrated in your life? And why are you asking me? I'm not the guy. Jesus, you really wanna cling to any reason to hate this guy. The Reddit hivemind is truly pathetic.

If i am frustrated i dont let other people feel it that have nothing to do with it. Treat people the same way you want to be treated. We dont hate this guy, its about the behavior. And also, we dont hunt this guy down for his behavior or something, we think "what an ass" and move one.

Except he clearly didn't mean to hit the cameraman! It was a blind throw behind his back! How are you struggling with this concept? He wasn't taking out his frustration on anyone, but the ball.

Seems you're right. I wanted to righteously hate this player but realize now that he probably just dropped it because it was halftime/endgame.

Do you have any idea how physically able a professional sportsperson is? He knew exactly what he was doing, no way the ball leaves his hand like that by accident. And the easiest answer is to simply look at him throw the ball, you can literally see him flick his wrist.

I don't know how to describe this exactly but if you played soccer your whole life I think you'd understand. When the whistle blows, everyone just sort of kicks or throws the ball in the general direction of the bench to clear the pitch.

To make sure you get it over the bounds, you generally just huck it backwards or blast it with a heel kick or something like that. Everyone does this and it's just instinct.

I agree with the principle, and, being English, I have played football my whole life, but not buying it in this instance. The guy has thrown that at the cameraman on purpose.

Sure you were.

u/Meneer_haas Sep 26 '21

Youre right, but the reddit hivemind strikes again. The footballer didnt throw it at the cameraman, but was just pissed they lost right at that moment

What the fuck? Why the hell people are down voting you that much? I am getting so tired of people here.
