Ka0 posted:Just redraw the entire thing goddammit, what's the point in continuing with this. Are they really looking forward to record-number of heat strokes in a single match in front of a live world audience. No didn't you hear, because they don't feel like making the magical "keep players from dying in the summertime" technology their bid was hedged on, FIFA have agreed to hold the tournament in the winter, thus disrupting the entire season. Which they of course would've known ahead of time because nobody is dumb enough to believe the saudis can miraculously cool down entire outdoor stadiums enough to keep everyone cool. Also loving lol at FIFA setting up a new ethics commission. Reminder that the head of the previous independent ethics commission quit in disgust after she couldn't make any headway in her job. Sack the lot of them and start over. Shaman Tank Spec fucked around with this message at 20:00 on Sep 18, 2013 |

Popehoist posted:They cannot hold the loving tournament there, surely. What a farce. Well see here's the thing. Being a decent human being and standing up to flagrant and offensive bigotry does not get Sepp Blatter millions of dollars in bribes. Smoothing things over and turning a blind eye to flagrant offenses towards basic human rights does. The tournament will go ahead as planned even if literally everyone in the world protests.

Well they may be harder to spot when a billionaire oil sheikh is carting you around in his limo and throwing massive bags of money at you all the time. It's 100% obvious that all we're going to get from FIFA is paid off PR bullshit. Could there possibly be room for citizen journalism here? Maybe people who live there could document what's actually going on and how slavery actually totally is a loving thing. It might get traction and picked up?

effectual posted:Why is 'pitch' a word outside of baseball? Why not just say 'field' or whatever? Well I went and googled it for you because god knows I can't stand watching this FIFA presentation and here is the answer apparently. A guy posted:The oldest sense of pitch that’s immediately relevant is that of thrusting a stake or pole into the ground (which is why we talk about pitching a tent). The sense of a playing field comes via that, originally from cricket. The act of setting up the playing area by knocking the two sets of stumps into the ground was called pitching the stumps from the end of the seventeenth century on. However, it wasn’t until the 1870s that the term was turned into a noun to describe the playing area and it was extended to football only about 1900 — surprisingly late in both cases. E: cricket outdates baseball by a few hundreds years. Shaman Tank Spec fucked around with this message at 10:26 on May 29, 2015 |
