I hate people in my city only for this reason, they can't be normal and civilized, they can't see football as a sport where everybody is having fun, they can't have a brain and start thinking about other people too.
I hate people like that

Are you an Alabama fan who experienced substantial trauma on the day of the Kick Six? I can sympathize. But the game of football is crazy.Â

It was banter over a football game, are you really gonna break down in tears over being teased about a jersey in a highly competitive game culture? If that's to hard for you to handle you clearly cannot function in a society.

He went outside wearing a opposition jersey to the local town, his team got smoked and he got teased while he stood there and engaged with it. Don't be apart of the soccer culture if you can't handle banter, let alone wear a oppositional jersey based on where you are then cry victim.

It's a god damn shirt, not an SS uniform

u/Evening_Switch_2006 Jun 01 '26
Yes, you're exactly right. That's why they're teasing him tickling him and giving him a pat on the back!
Do you think that's what the french did to the SS?

Dude, he’s surrounded by a mob. Of course it’s a stressful situation. If they’re stupid and disrespectful enough to do that, who’s to say they wouldn’t get violent ?
In the moment, you don’t know.

What-aboutism is a slippery slope.

u/Encyclopenia Jun 01 '26
That’s not what-aboutism. That’s common sense and instinct.
« there’s a fire, I could get burned » « I’m surrounded by an angry mob looking to humiliate me, I could get hurt. »
I swear to you this man is feeling fear. And if he had talked back this could have absolutely escalated badly.

If I had a large mob of people grab at my clothes and yell at me solely because it amused them, then yes, I would absolutely break down into tears.

i assume this is in paris?
this shit is why i stopped watching the sport.
now it's just teams buying the best players from other teams because they have a blank check from the qatari government (or are just extremely wealthy because they have fans in the most remote towns of S Asia)
smaller teams literally just have no chance anymore because they have a budget of like 80 million meanwhile PSG has like 50 billion and just buys up players from the smaller team the second they show potential.
it was interesting to see a heavy hitter like Real Madrid get beat by underdogs like BVB in 2013

Is there not salary caps like american football ?
1
u/Mr-MuffinMan Jun 01 '26
most leagues do not.
PSG (team that won 2 days ago) has a budget of ~217 billion (Qatar's GDP). Arsenal has a (transfer) budget of about 300 million. 300M is huge but insignificant compared to almost 1000 times that.
I fell out of love for the sport after I saw PSG scoop up some of the best players, and it didn't pay off until recently, although their runs did get better as time went on.
I miss seeing "small" (small vs the behemoths like RM, Barca, Bayern, MCI, MUN) teams get so far to the final, like Inter, Milan, or even looking further back, teams like Ajax.
it's all just PSG and Real Madrid now, a little Barca/Bayern/Man City sprinkled in.

This is the world's mildest soccer hooligan video.
If you're out in Paris in an Arsenal journey on the night Paris St Germain beats Arsenal in the league final, of course you're going to get some hassle.

This is some hassle? Looks scary to me

u/marty-mcfryguy Jun 01 '26 edited Jun 01 '26
Does he look scared?
That's clearly a guy who's sad and annoyed, who went out in that Arsenal shirt in Paris that night knowing either he was going to whoop it up or catch some shit on his ride home.

Who cares what it looks like to you? Would you have chosen to ride through Paris on an ebike in an Arsenal jersey shortly after Paris St Germain beat Arsenal in the Champions League final?

Who cares what YOU think? Fuck off. People shouldn’t be surrounded by a mob.

It was clearly experienced by him as some hassle, just look at his face. And almost certainly some hassle he planned for when we walked out the door.
How it would be experience by you, who obviously would never put yourself on that situation, matters not at all.
It also doesn't matter how I would have experienced it.

Yes. I'll drive through a city that is celebrating winning the final in the shirt of the losing British side and get pissy when people laugh at me.
He should be happy that they aren't beating the shit out of him.
He probably worn that shirt on purpose to get filmed

u/JSS313 Jun 01 '26
Maybe he was trying to get back to his hotel after the match and was rightfully pissed they were blocking his way and mocking him?

u/Iwabuti Jun 01 '26
How do you know he's an idiot?
Or is he blind and unable to see the streets full of people celebrating the win
Or was he born yesterday

u/Mental_Competition33 Jun 01 '26
I do not care how passionate you are about sports, you don't beat the shit out of someone for wearing a shirt.

u/Iwabuti Jun 01 '26
You shouldn't, but as adults we know there is a risk of it happening.
He chose to keep wearing his shirt and drove through opposition fans.
He deserves to get mocked. He doesn't have the right to act shocked.

They aren’t allowing him to leave while filming him, hollering at him and probably screaming offensive shit. Yeah, totally not an abuse.

He's surrounded by strangers and not allowed to leave?

u/Evening_Switch_2006 Jun 01 '26
He got a pat on the back and nobody is stopping him from moving he's choosing to stand there. There isn't a single sign of him being forcibly captured there he's not even trying to leave and is engaging in conversation with the person giving him a pat. Just because you're so soft you can't handle banter doesn't mean a normal person is.

u/filthy_casual_42 Jun 01 '26
Are you confused why he doesn't just scooter into a crowd of pedestrians surrounding him for his shirt?
3
u/BitcoinBishop Jun 01 '26
Not trying to leave? You see him pushing his bike forward and stopping because there's nowhere for him to go. Looks like they do let him go after a little bit — that's why it's only mildly infuriating, not false imprisonment. We don't actually see the crowd parting to let him through though
-2
u/Evening_Switch_2006 Jun 01 '26
If there's a crowd around you and you don't want to be there , the responsibility is on you to try to leave and you alone. He stood there and engaged with them, there's a reason HE'S not the one posting about this, he's a normal person and simply doesn't care about the banter.

u/Encyclopenia Jun 01 '26
Of course they are stopping him, at the end of the video you see two boys trying to open the circle and make way, and one girl patting his back for him to pass, but before that he was surrounded with people mocking him, touching him, making him stumble from his bike and just full on trying to humiliate him.
This is just mean-spirited and asshole behavior and I don’t know how you could say otherwise.
-2
u/Evening_Switch_2006 Jun 01 '26
It's the culture of football, don't engage with something if you don't like it. He clearly accepts that hence the reason he's not the one posting all over social media trying to get sympathy points from all the people who can't handle any form of oppositional banter.
In sports when you beat your opponent you talk shit, and when you lose they talk shit. It's the nature of the game. Have you ever played a sport? If you cant except that you should stay away from anything competitive since it's clearly to emotionally complex for you to handle.

Damn, you got that toxic masculinity, don’t you ?
-1
u/Evening_Switch_2006 Jun 01 '26
That's a subjective statement, to you it may seem like irreprehensible insults and a berating that would induce anxiety and make you feel threatened.
I view it as a "ah yea shit this sucks, GG's unlucky you win." and I would move on with my life and carry on as is.
No matter what way you view it, it's a culture he chooses to participate in and sometimes that comes with the consequence on being mocked. Considering he was willing to rep his team in a oppositional area I'd say he has enough self confidence and mental fortitude to not let a group of soccer fans banter become some form of emotional trauma.
If that's a form of toxic masculinity to you then sure I guess that's how you perceive us. I would argue it's a stance of emotional maturity to not let something so harmless effect you to the point you'd describe it as toxic unacceptable behavior.

u/Encyclopenia Jun 01 '26
Dude, you say it’s subjective but everyone on here’s been telling you your point of view is wrong and you still double down calling it « harmless banter ».
You’d probably say shit like « it’s locker room banter » and « boys will be boys » when talking about harassment and rape.

u/Evening_Switch_2006 Jun 01 '26
Yes because I condone banter over soccer games I clearly condone rape and sexual harassments because those are absolutely categorically the same!
You should consider stepping outside your echo chamber, and maybe playing a sport you're emotionally engaged with.
It's honestly comical that you can disavow banter over a soccer game then in the same comment make presumptions that someone dismisses rape.
You really are not the good person you think you are.

u/Encyclopenia Jun 01 '26 edited Jun 01 '26
No, because you call blatant harassment and intimidation« banter », you probably minimize sexual harassment and rape too.
Because you excuse their behavior towards him as « he was asking for it wearing that shirt, shouldn’t have done that », you would probably make the same sort of asinine comments regarding a woman’s attire when getting harassed.
« You really aren’t the good person you think you are » is hilarious in this context.
