- Heads up that if you want to talk ball on this page, it will only be within the context that football is often a tool of colonialism to placate colonial subjects. Thanks in advance.
- “sports are ableist and are rooted in colonialism.” ok, discuss lacrosse. Quickly. *snaps*.
- Tired: don't talk about sports around me because sports are colonialism wired: don't talk about sports around me because sports glorified the quarter-zip.
- I am committed to never to stop talking about the colonialism tendency of the sports, specifically of english cricket. This is always front of mind i will make sure everyone knows this.
2. Críticas a la Perspectiva que Asocia Deportes y Colonialismo.
Otros usuarios critican la idea de que los deportes son inherentemente una herramienta de colonialismo, argumentando que esta visión ignora la diversidad cultural y la capacidad de las comunidades para apropiarse y disfrutar de los deportes.
- Also the "sports are a tool of colonialism" acting as if indigenous cultures didn't have sports? or diaspora cultures? just say you don't like sports & the sports fans you know irl are all trashbags lol. No need to pretend it's some superior moral stance. Such a weird take.
- If you don’t like sports, just like…keep scrolling. Literally everything can be a tool and of colonialism. Some people just don’t want to live a completely joyless existence in spite of it. Ffs, just let people enjoy things.
- No doubt that some sports were spread by colonialism but i would love this person to tell the nation of india that they can’t enjoy cricket because of it.
- I’d love for you to tell an indian or pakistani person they’re a tool of colonialism because they like cricket. Right to their face. Of course, you’re much too much of a coward to do that.
- The fact that football / futbol / soccer is so popular in places that were never british colonies is testament to the fact that the sport’s appeal isn’t about colonialism.
