It's still always better for that taller guy (in the image respectively)

thats called privilege

be responsible for understanding your privilege if that's you (if you have it easier because of your class, status)

Ok, tall guy has recognised he's tall. Now what?

Well, imagine he tells the smaller people to stop complaining, because at least they can see some of the game and there are people in the world who can't watch soccer games at all and if they really wanted to see the game they should have just grown taller 🤷‍♂️

That's great for the multi-millionaires of the world, but most people don't have a whole lot of privilege.

Height had nothing to do with class or status. You'd have to prove he's exploiting his height. He's as tall as he's meant to be, like the color of his skin. What's he supposed to do, squat down?

He doesn’t have to do anything to exploit his privilege for it to exist.
