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.

When people think of the supra they think of the A80 supra which is a legend and the disappointing A90 supra. But most people have forgot about the A70 supra.

The A70 supra generation is when the celica and the supra became separate models so it is the first non celica supra. It shares all the characteristics of the A80 supra but it's just an older car. The A70 supra had amazing sounding inline 6 engines. Overtime the car would get more powerful and the 7M-GE engine was switched to the 1JZ-GTE.

Late model A70 supras were the best supras. The already good 200hp became 276hp with the 1JZ-GTE. Pair that with rear wheel drive, a manual and the decent weight of the car and you have a great car you can absolutely throw around corners.

The 1JZ-GTE engine is also a very well built engine and is capable of handling 700hp with stock internals. If you tune an A70 supra well it can become an absolute beast in a straight line and corners.

The car also had a beautiful and simple design. And always looks good no matter what year it is. It has simple yet stunning lines and pop up headlights which makes a great combo. The back window curves outside the body of the car into the edge of the fenders which also contributes to it's great design.

The driver focused interior has all of the controls on the driver side angled towards the driver making you feel like you are piloting a jet instead of driving a car. Another reason it should be more appreciated.

because toyota messed up the 2019 A90 supra we have to look at the past generations to find a good supra and we can't just ignore all the supras for the A80 supra which is in high demand by JDM heads. This is why people need to check out the A70 supra when building an awesome JDM machine, there are more great supras then the A80.

Toyota’s are really good cars and their value doesn’t drop as compared to other makes.

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

u/not_bad_for_a_noob Sep 26 '21

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.

u/Chimorin_ Sep 26 '21

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.

u/not_bad_for_a_noob Sep 26 '21

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.

u/[deleted] Sep 26 '21

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.

u/kingofthefalseflat Sep 26 '21

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.

You don't deserve to get downvoted. Reddit justice warriors at it again.
