🎶 Now Let Me Say I'm The Biggest Hater

As someone who started as a football fan, I will never understand the hatred people have for drivers of the same team. On ft, we clown on our shit players but still want the team to do well, but then I see f1twt and people are praying on Sainz/Leclerc being fired (haha) and getting kicked out of the sport. Some of you really need to calm down.

Like you’re 25, and acting considerably more immature than you claim Lando Norris to be. Get a job, get a life, and stop posting religiously on your driver hate accounts, it’s a really bad look for the sport and the passionate fans out there. Some of you clowns have 100k+ posts. It’s embarrassing.

I’ve always thought that strictly supporting one driver and slandering the others was immature, the goal should always for the team to do well AND the drivers. Wishing a DNF or a terrible performance on drivers every race day is pathetic behavior. They’re still teammates racing for the same team. The priority is the team overall, not statpadding to appease their ego.

And Jesus Christ learn how the sport works. You don’t have to be a professional analyst, but do not let your biases cloud your judgement, letting you blame everything on your favorite driver’s teammate. Just because your favorite driver is the hottest does not mean you can objectify them and infantilize them. They are grown adults who could not care less about your existence.

These drivers will say controversial things, and they will get angry. They are still humans, it’s natural. They’ll curse out other drivers because emotions are high when they’re racing at 300 kpm, wanting wins. They’re not going to stop and be like, “Now how can I express my emotions in a way that won’t upset anyone?”. They’re going to say things in the heat of the moment, and with their emotions reaching a boiling point, they’ll get angry. And that. Is. Okay.

Sometimes they’ll be in the wrong, and they won’t admit it. Or it’s the other way. Sometimes they’ll right, and their teammates won’t admit it. They’ll blame things on each other, and it’s fine to be angry, just don’t be an embarrassing about it. Your favorite drivers aren’t perfect, and shit happens. It’s not always this faults.

Drivers lives don’t entirely revolve around the sport, and neither should yours.

If Mats Hummels hadn’t been unnecessarily dropped for 4(?)ish years from the national team, I think they would have continued to dominate

Everyone deserves to see these beautiful photos

normal reaction when you choose the wrong team at Padel 👀 @mariuswolf27

Who was going to tell me Mats and Marius Wolf, of all people, are padel buddies? What other secret Dortmund bromances are there that we aren’t aware of? 👀

My worst nightmare as a BVB fan

It’s conspiracy theory time.

We all saw this picture. We all wondered what it meant. We thought, “Why is sitting like that? Staring like that? Will he be getting a new contract?” And now, knowing what we know, I think he knew. He wouldn’t be coming back to Borussia Dortmund. It was his last match at the Yellow Wall.

Here’s my flimsy evidence: That photo was taken on May 18. Terzic and Mats had already been clashing for the entire year over tactics, and probably much more. BVB Central reported through Bild, that the relationship with Terzic was considered “cold” on March 6. Even though Bild is not entirely reliable, it was probably reliable on this.

Reports also came through of Terzic and Mats having a massive fight shortly before the UCL final, person consequences being threatened. This might have happened because of the brutally honest interview Mats gave three days before the final, which would have placed their fight around May 28 or 29, most likely completely destroying their relationship beyond repair.

Back to the day that photo was taken, May 18. By that point, according to reports, many of Dortmund’s players, including almost the entirety of the senior players, including Mats of course, would have been heavily against Terzic. If it is true that he essentially staged a coup, it would have been Terzic and the Board vs the players of Borussia Dortmund.

It was the last match of the year, we got fifth place, barely scraping champions league football, the first time we hadn’t gotten it since the disastrous 2014-2015 season. A vocal player like Mats would not have let that happen without complaint. Since Terzic was the manager, in charge of the tactics, he would have made sure he was unhappy with how the team performed all season along with the tactics given to them.

After the end of the match, we also got this photo:

Marco pushed Mats up to the front. Does that mean they knew he probably wouldn’t be getting an extension and wanted him to get a goodbye? Marco got an entire game dedicated to him, tifo and all, but Mats got nothing. He probably wouldn’t have minded too much, he knew it was Marco’s day, and he seem to be a pretty chill guy.

Marco might have done it anyway, but it would have made sense for Mats to get his standing ovation because there wouldn’t be another game for him to get one from.

That’s the end of my mindless rambling, Mats knew he wouldn’t have spent another year with the Dortmund because the contract extension was always off the table.

Me ranting about Eddie Diaz

DFB: suffering against Greece, barely pulling out a win

Mats and Leon:

Oh… well I hope Dortmund fail then! Really disappointed in them. 🙄

(I’m aware Madrid have a Zionist, I’m just surprised at a club who claims to be progressive would take such a stance…)
