guys its messis bday tdy! storytime for my goat fr

(basically: me yapping abt how messi is the reason i started watching football? kinda? and how hes always been relevant in my life?? if u wanna know more then the yap is below)

all my life, ive been surrounded by football. its a big sport around the world, and especially so in south america; when my father moved to the states he brought his love for futbol with him.

however, i really didnt care much for the sport growing up, unlike most kids my age and culture. i was preoccupied with my own toys and friends and whatnot for a significant amount of my life.

still, i have memories of the beautiful game; my father, watching peru's wc campaigns, a copa america final or two, el clasico peruano (¡arriba alianza!). echoes of a green field, an argentinian or mexican (or rarely, a peruvian) accent, the ratty pullout bed my dad refused to get rid of for sentimental reasons, the similarly ratty blanket my mom also refused to get rid of for the same reason.

my lack of ball knowledge also meant that i only knew about a few players, and teams; alianza was good, and it was good if they won, la u alianza's local rival; think the north london derby or el clasico could go fuck itself, any south american winning anything internationally was also good, landon donovan was the best player us soccer had ever seen, and my father played like him in his day, barcelona was red and blue, and had messi and neymar, the best players in the worldand i have no recollection of knowing much about ronaldo, except that he had nice hair and was 3rd best.

this brings me to my point - lionel messi was, in my eyes, the best player in the world. my dad's favorite entertainment was whenever his friends came over and asked me whether i liked messi or ronaldo more, and i told them proudly that the question should really be messi or neymar, and i like messi more, thank you very much.

this is probably why i always had a tendency to favor barca over madrid when i really started wtaching football; madrid were the 'bad guys' in little me's eyes and besides, the best players in the world played at barca, remember? messi! and neymar! the best!

anyways. color me surprised when, during the 2018 wc, the winner was not argentina or brazil. i was absolutely shellshocked at this notion. 2014 was unlucky, really, and argentina should have won, after all, and diego maradona was a shitty coach for argentina's 2010 campaign.

but what shocked me more was france winning. france? who was from france? no one that i knew. my father was disdainful about the whole thing ("of course they won it, not like croatia posed much of a challenge anyways, england should have beat them to at least make it interesting" he sniffed for weeks). i had a little book where i could put stickers of players in, and it only had some random swede in it and the following boxes of the predictor filled out:

Who do you think is going to win? ARGENTINIA!! 🇦🇷

Winner 🏆: France

yes i drew/wrote it like that LMFAO

i also had peru going all the way to the semis; 1st in their group and beating croatia and uruguay before getting beat by brazil. so, uh, clearly my ball knowledge was. peak

fast forward to peak: the wc 2022. did the theme song js play in everyones brain? cos it js did for me. and now that i mentioned it its probably playing in urs too. yw. my dad had already showed me a few matches (the usmnt's 2021 nations league campaign, basically, and i had no club... but why i became an arsenal fan is a different story, for another goat's birthday mayhaps?). my english teacher, usually a bitch, locked in and showed usmnt's group games.

but over winter break was the actually interesting games (aka, the actually strong teams, not whatever berhalter was smoking with how he played against the dutch), and the final was one of these.

my dad and i have a tradition on weekend mornings to eat breakfast out. from waffle house to ihop, i alone am the hungry one ahh we were dressed nicely, since we were going to a nice local diner this time around, but the final was playing. i convinced my dad to 'just stay for the first half' which turned into 'the closing ceremony will be really cool, and i wanna see messi lift the world cup' which turned into 'cmon argentina can come back in extra time' to 'we cant leave during the penalties!' to 'we cant possibly not watch the closing ceremony' and before long, it was 1pm and my dad and i were dancing in our living room as lionel messi finally lifted his world cup up.

dont mind the shitty quality pls my phones old

happy birthday, lionel messi. thank you for everything. BRING THE CWC HOME! the odds of that are very slim but ykw delusions are the solution

if you read this far pls give a like cos i wanna know who actually read ts LMFAO

PREACH BRUTHA

It’s so frustrating how much racism f1 fans are willing to put up with, especially when that’s coming from other fans

I don’t see it anymore because I am more than happy to block folks, but the amount of awful, hateful, antisemitic bile that gets thrown at Lance just because a bunch of people on the internet, most of whom have never met a Jew, got told that all Zionists are actually Kahanists even though 1) they never stopped to ask the 90+% of Jews who identify as Zionists whether that’s even how we would define the belief (it’s not) and 2) fifteen years ago, none of us would have had to explicitly identify with the term because it was just accepted as part and parcel of what being Jewish is until people outside of our community started demanding we abandon it.

Like, why do you think the Strolls pointedly don’t talk about being Jewish? Why do they even have to use the name Stroll? Why does the fandom gloss over all of this?

alright, this is gonna be a long one.

i’m incredibly sorry you have seen so much anti-semitic stuff online, and i agree that a lot of f1 fans/fan groups online have significant issues with racism & prejudice.

however, the link you draw between zionism & judaism feels incredibly disingenuous. the 90%+ figure is also not accurate, as very few studies have been done on the actual % of jewish people that identify as zionists. the studies/polls that have been done are often flawed, biased, and/or not able to keep up with the constant changing state of the political reality of Israel, especially since the israeli government began its most recent attempt at the genocide of the palestinian people.

saying that being a zionist is “just part of being jewish�� seems especially problematic to me. does that mean you don’t consider non-zionist jews to be jewish? because if so, that is in itself anti-semitic.

yes, there is a difference between zionism and kahanism; however, when the state of israel has, throughout its history since its founding in the 1940s off the back of the mass displacement & ethnic cleansing of Palestinians during the Nakba, the ideology of zionism has taken the form of pushing out palestinians from their homes since its earliest days. zionism, in principle, would not be problematic— however, we do not live in a world of principle. we live in a world where zionist ideology has not been exercised in a manner where the preservation of the safety of Jewish people has been the sole priority— as the definition of the word suggests— but one where zionism has, since its inception as a widely-held belief in the past century or so, been used as a tool of oppression, ethnic cleansing and apartheid against Palestinians. in that way, zionism has become more like kahanism than it is the original definition of zionism.

i liken it to the US republican party. the core beliefs of the original idea of Republicanism is small government, individual rights, and little government involvement. however, that is not what the modern republican party is; it has become a white supremacist, uber-capitalist, oppressive party that serves only the interests of the rich & wealthy. however, you wouldn’t know that if you were to only read the definition of what an American Republican is, the same way you wouldn’t get the full picture/context of what modern zionism has become by simply reading the definition of the word. it’s like how Nazis weren’t actually ‘national socialists,’ despite what they called themselves.

i mean this in the nicest way possible, but one cannot simply ‘define’ a belief in the way you imply you can with zionism. zionism as a belief has been used for a century to justify the existence of an apartheid state in Israel, the oppression of Palestinians, and the ongoing genocide against them.

nobody is demanding you abandon zionism. i’m sure that, growing up Jewish, it was likely portrayed to you as an ideology that would provide safety and security to a historically marginalized, oppressed community— but that isn’t what zionism is in actuality. we don’t live in a world of simple definitions; we live in a world where everything is defined by its context and its history, and zionism’s context & history is one of oppression, racism, apartheid, and genocide.

aside from that, i do believe it’s unacceptable that jewish people are still being made to be afraid to talk about their religion or their beliefs, or change their names for safety. it’s incredibly sad that the Strolls had to change their names, like you said, and that they so rarely talk about their religion out of fear of anti-semitic backlash.

i just think equating judaism with zionism is unfair, historically ignorant, and often anti-semitic in of itself.
