I get really put-off by all this snarky, performative "sportsball" mockery, as if sports are only for dumb jocks and beneath the consideration of me, the vaunted intellectual (i.e. "person who sits online all day"). Athletes are artists. Artists of the human body and of physics. What makes that any less worthwhile of an endeavor than some pedantic nerd shit? This is gonna be a great game, and I can always read my books from the library later. #esparg #worldcup #sports #sportsball #athletics

"That for me no doubt is a penalty" - Alan Shearer watching Harry Kane blatantly dive. Absolutely shambolic commentary. Especially because he won't shut up about it. They've just replayed it and Kane clearly jams both toes into the ground to make it look like the keeper has blocked him and caused him to go over. Tom Daley would have been proud of that one. 10 10 10 say the judges. #Football #SportsBall #WC2026 #ENGDRC

There’s an American guy at work and he was asking why we have summer sports where we wear woollen vests, and winter sports where we wear tiny little shorts. He’s got a point. #Sportsball
