What's up Buttercups 😊

[cant-get-no-worse]

hii !!!

thank you, thank you, thank you for responding with such a detailed answer, you’re a gem <33

people hear post wc footy fan and just cringe so you understand my reasons sjskjsjanaj i mean we were all casuals at one point right? why gatekeep ??

wow, you know what they say about money, its not everything but its right up there with oxygen. i think the barca board ( bartomeu ) has a lot of flaws —in that one recent interview suarez said that neymar was planning to stay when suddenly his family made the decision to leave. there were a lot of reasons but the decision came after his personal info ( bonus?? ) kept getting leaked from the club, and that was the final straw or something, plus messi’s he stays insta post after the club’s decision to sue neymar back was sort of a dig at the board too ( so so so real of him !! ) —read this all on the internet btw

never a boring day at futbol club bassalona.

but all that aside, the loyalty bonus was part of his newly renewed contract right, so forget him leaving to psg, it was something both parties agreed on and signed on paper so don’t you think that neymar was entitled to that 43 mil? ( unpaid labour uno )

They also ask for him to return the €14M of the loyalty clause that had already been paid to him + 10% for delayed payment of said €14M + €8.5M in damages —this was overkill tbh. i get not paying the remaining 29 mil but asking for the already paid 14 mil back was too much. not that i’m in any position to comment on it, considering barça’s financial crises 💀

now i get why culér’s on twt get so triggered when neymar is affiliated to barça in any way. leaving the club like that and suing them later too 💀💀 they don’t even consider him a barça legend ( debatable ) they're so blinded by hate for him that they blame him for the clubs financial problems like its not neymar’s fault barça didn't make productive use of that 222 mil ffs 😭

for me the media & journalists will ever be trustable when affiliated to neymar. like the media ( especially the english ) truly despises him in this vengeful way i’ve never seen with any other sportsperson, and i don’t understand it either, from what i've heard neymar was football's IT boy back in the days. whatever happens i blame neymar pai, this man + his toxic friends are truly the root cause of all of neymar’s poor career decisions.

there’s only so much hate a person can take. i truly admire his determination, like man constantly gets hated on, questioned and hurt all the time ( physically and mentally ) and he just keeps going. i just hope he gets his happy ending ( like messi before him ), he deserves it and so much more. i think that’s enough rambling for now 😵💫

Bahaha Bartomeu was absolutely cancerous. The contracts he gave to players were absolutely insane and we're still trying to shake off its consequences years later — thankfully we seem to be on the right path, looking at the current numbers!

Yeah, Neymar's reasons for leaving is still something I believe we'll truly never get the final word of — whether it came from him, his family, his father solely, a fallout with the barça board following, as you said, some contract revelation, etc. Just one of the obscure politics going on at that god forsaken institution haha.

Weeeell, tbh for once I'm understanding Barça side on that, you know? The loyalty bonuses were (seemingly) stipulating for him to go to the end of said re-signed contract, which he did not do by signing elsewhere, so I get the club's decision to not pay him the rest. Although as you pointed out, reclaiming the 14M seems so rat-like but given our financial state, I mean. 💀 The thing I don't get is why would you, as a club, give beforehand money that is to be given when your player has gone to the end of his contract before the fucking end of said contract. You don't know if said player's gonna stay! So why on God's green ball would you give those millions away for a bonus clause that's not even fulfilled? The whole thing is so mind-boggling I'm certain I'm not getting the inner workings of this right, because I cannot believe a board / club would do something this ridiculous financially speaking, even during the Bartomeu era.

Neymar's legend status at Barcelona is a whole part of why it used to make me sad thinking about it — he left wanting to cement his legacy, but by doing so, six years later, he isn't considered a legend neither at PSG nor at Barcelona (there's some debate, as you said, but at the end of the day, his name is always going to be out-shadowed by others and even fucking Geri or Luis have, in the eyes of many, a stronger case than him) because of that move, whereas had he stayed and won some more, that would have become undisputed. Enough to get you mad, truly, if you think too hard about it. And bahaha, the 222M — let's just collectively be affected by a case of sudden amnesia, shall we.

He was the IT boy, I truly think he embodied the very definition of a starboy footballistically-wise. Sad to think he possibly never let himself/had the right environnement to grow out of it. His dad being one of the key point at that, indeed. I don't know if you're around those spheres or something, but there's a French influencer/comedian on Instagram that talked about it once. From what I remember, he met Neymar for an ad, a sponsor, an interview or whatever the sweet fuck that thing was, and he recalled having been struck by the coldness of the interactions between Neymar and his father/agent. Now, you could say this is only the professionnal façade given by the pair to some media people and we don't know what's going on behind the scene, and I'm all for this, but what he specifically pointed out wasn't so much being weirded out by the player/agent but more by the player/father relationship. He wondered how one could sustain a healthy familial dynamic between a father and a son - one he saw absolutely none of during his brief time spent with Neymar and Sr, said he didn't felt like Sr was Neymar's father at all, directing him, telling him what to do at any point - all while maintaing a healthy profesionnal environnement between an agent and a client. The family member/agent/player/child boat is a whoooole other discourse that we could have for lots of players, and not only in football, it's actually kind of mad. I think it was Zlatan (my man <3) who said nowadays family members took too much space in their child/player's life and the medias, forgot to draw the right lines, forgot who was getting the money in/working or something.

Anyways, his environnement? Big bruh. I don't want to get into it cause we don't know what happens behind closed doors, once again, but part of me hope the birth of his second child will make him realize that to live a healthy, independent life with his close family/loved ones does not include allowing your jobless friends to squat your home 24/h.

& I agree with your conclusion! For all the bad stuff you can point out about him, because there is plenty, you can find good stuff in equal amounts, if not more. His resilience, both physical and mental, is one of those exceptionnal strong character points about him that somehow seem to fly under the radar. To have suffered stardom at the dawn of the internet at such a young age, a potential career-ending injury, multiple injuries slowing your progression, a very lively and pressured environnement of friends/family, the endless eyes of the medias - whether English, French or Spanish constantly quesitonning your life or career choices, all that is exhausting on both sides. Many would have given up for less. I truly wish for him to win something, if not a club level, at least with the National Team, so he can at least have that for him.

Oops you made me ramble again. Eheh. Much love! 💙

shoutout to everyone who wants to infodump but cant string together coherent thoughts to form sentences and instead just look at you like this

[square-opossums]

watching gen z and millennials make fun of gen alpha has been torturous. "But they're actually stupid" 1. theyre middle schoolers 2. isn't that what older gens said about us? don't you remember being 11?

it truly is just "impulse reaction to cringe <- has not yet unlearned shame"

the cycle continues let me out of here

guys. guys I think we should kill cringe culture

i had a dream that time travel was invented and too many people choose to travel back in time to save the titanic from sinking (the question of whether unsinking of the titanic deserved so much attention in the face of human history was the subject of both heavy academic and online discourse), which caused a rift in the space-time-continuum that led to the titanic showing up indiscriminately all over the world’s oceans and sea in various states of sinking.

this caused a lot of issues both in terms of fixing said space-time-continuum and in terms of nautical navigation, and after a long and heavy battle in the international maritime organization it was decided that the bureaucratic burden of dealing with this was to be upon Ireland, much to their dismay. the Irish Government then released an app for all sailors and seafarers so they could report titanic sightings during their journeys, even though they heavily dissuaded you from reporting them given the paperwork it caused.

anyway i woke up with a clear image of the app in my head and needed to recreate it for all of you:

one of the most infuriating things about becoming an adult is when you realize that it actually is 10x easier to solve problems by making a phone call vs literally any other communication method

do you think mocking catholicism is funny

You gotta read and watch some old books and films that aren’t 100% modern politically correct. I’m not saying you should agree with everything in them but you need to learn where genres came from to understand what those genres are doing today and where media deconstructing old tropes is coming from.

Also, more often than you might think, they’re not actually promoting bigotry so much as “didn’t consider all the implications of something” or just used words that were polite then but considered offensive now.

Kill the censor in your head.
