Okay you show up to a Sunday league amateur soccer match. You scream KYS to the ref, they red card you. Why you surprised?
Comment on What a shocker!

Let me put it in terms a normie can understand. You show up to a game of pick up basketball (local league) and one person is wearing high heels (off meta) the second person shows up late, and the third person doesn’t know how to block a simple pass. How is that not gonna upset you?

Why isn’t the ref stopping the guy in high heels and a thong?

Hey, business is business. You use a gun, I use a fountain pen what’s the difference? Let’s put it in my terms: you’re in a hostile takeover, you snatch us up for some green mail, but you’re not expecting some poison pill to be running around the building, am I right? Hans, bubby, I’m your white knight.

What world do you live in where more people play basketball than online video games?
Even then, I don’t think there’s a way someone on my team could be so bad that I even raise my voice at them, much less verbally belittle them. Whenever I have a useless teammate I think “Damn, they must be new. I don’t think we’re winning this one.” And then I do my best and I have fun.

This is easily the bougiest comment I’ve read in a while. What world might they live in, where more people play IRL sports than more expensive online games?

Wow alts that’s sad. Anyways that’s why you’re defending your poor game play.

I can play a lot of my games on a computer that cost me less than $100, plus peripherals. Gaming is cheap nowadays as long as you’re not gunning for the newest crap, and it lasts a long while. Meanwhile, playing basketball regularly requires you either have reliable access to a car (I don’t) or live in an area where there’s a publically available basketball court, AND enough people to play. Yeah, you could set up hoops in the street or something, but literal cars run through there. And people need to back out of their driveway. If you can’t do it in your neighborhood, then you have to spend time that a lot of low-income folks don’t have traveling to and from somewhere that does have the requisite things. Not impossible, but not at as convenient as an old business laptop from 2017 off Ebay with Steam on it.

Did I say raise my voice? That’s how you’d react. Not I’m saying when people show up not ready ro play Damn right I’m going to let them know that’s inappropriate.

So, what you won’t raise your voice and just calmly ask them to kill themselves? What?
beejboytyson@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Nah but calmly muting them and playing better is your own option. Listen you don’t want try hard DONT PLAY RANKED. That’s like me going to a burger shop and getting mad that they freak out when you ask for a salad.

Ya don’t get banned for saying “hey, I think you should try to prepare better.”
