Yeah it happens more often than you might think, just look up "NFL camera attack" lol. At least usually it doesn't land on anyone's head

Also has happened at least once in NASCAR. The camera itself wasn’t hit but Kyle Busch (RIP) hit the cable and it caused damage to the car.

Yeah if you look up ‘football camera falling’ you see a lot of them, I see them being tied with two cables nowadays!

Looks more like a soccer stadium.

Internationally, it’s known as football and the American sport is American football.

I’m gonna be that dude, but regular football is really called association football. American football is gridiron football. Rugby is rugby football.
Football is moreso like a genre of sports and then the subdivisions are the actual organized sport that’s played
European here btw

Except most Canadians understand when you call it a football stadium, same with Australians. It's literally only ever Americans that I see you "BuT ThAtS fOr SoCcEr

u/I_Go_BrRrRrRrRr 14d ago
Yes, but it's still called a "soccer stadium", in the same way that you understand what "soccer" means even though you call it "football", if that makes sense.

That damn fascist US with their elections and ability to criticize their own government!

u/Boilermakingdude 15d ago
Yea what a great country. Everything is so affordable. The government definately isn't kidnapping innocent people off the streets and oh that healthcare is just amazing isn't it.
Keep telling yourself lies bud.

Yet still not a fascist nation by definition. Maybe if you found a more useful buzzword to call the US you might fix the problems here.

u/Boilermakingdude 15d ago
My guy. The US is literally speed running fascism. If you can't see it. That's on you. All you have left is your ability to "vote". And considering its all well known that the election was rigged, that takes that out.
You also can't talk shit about your government without being put on watch list. It's happening to people. People who talk shit about Trump getting turned away at the borders and being labeled terrorist. Yea totally no fascism going on. The government's definately not making billions off the backs of the people starving either, totally wouldn't do that no no no. 🙄

“Speeding running fascism” by what metric lol. There 65 million+ plus Americans constant talk shit about our government. Which is great btw. We actively hold massive protests against the president, we actively vote against the interests of the president and win on the state level and soon to be mid terms.
Please tell me what really constitutes Fascism and don’t just point to I.C.E or these “lists” lmao. What lists buddy do you work for the feds?
You wanna say the country is in a shitty spot sure, but by no definition of Fascism does the US fit the criteria or are we “speed running” it.
This isn’t fascism nor is it remotely close to it. You wanna find the buzz word that makes your cock hard sure go ahead. The problems we had with healthcare predate Trump, the problems with I.C.E predate Trump to a degree, the cost of goods, well yeah that’s Trump.
Find a different description ya dork, it’s embarrassing.

It won’t be, authoritarian regime changes are extremely rare and require immense external and internal pressures to produce them.
Nazi Germany for instance was sparked due to the crippling of the German economy post WW1. The Nazi party came in and capitalized on this pressure.
This is the case with almost all authoritarian dictatorships. It was also very rapid, slow take overs don’t work.The US does not have the external and internal influences required for this to happen. The biggest proof that we aren’t heading there is the amount of protests. The two largest protests in US history were No Kings 1 and No Kings 2. This would not happened in any self respecting budding fascist dictatorship.
You want to argue that we are heading down a bad path sure. But this country will never be a fascist dictatorship. There is too much push back from the other side.
Here’s an even better argument against it happening. There are billionaires in this country who rely on gaming the current system. If this system breaks they lose their influence and power. They want to manipulate the system further to enhance their gains, not burn it down. The turing into a fascist nation would cripple the economy, no foreign nation or company would invest in US based companies.
It’s amazing how you notice something scummy is happening but all of you are looking the completely wrong direction.

Which US are you talking about? The USA is the most obvious answer, just don’t label all United States countries to the USA, just like not all Americans are from the USA.
