MrBeast filmed himself rigging sweepstakes and contests, endangering people with reckless negligence, but is still makes new videos.
Other people have had their careers ended over mere uncorroborated allegations of misconduct, so why tf is that loser still making shit?
One if the very few YouTubers I forbid my kids to watch. He's pretty much a summary of what's rotten in our civilization. Such a piece of shit.
There are worse individuals, apparently the wells he dug in Africa were a real philanthropic venture.
That said, I would be fine with his career ending, I am sure many more people would be doing far better jobs than him.
The only reason he hasn't fully embraced MAGA is because it'll kill his ratings.
Mr. Beast has always been and will continue to be a huge piece of shit.
It must be a generational thing but that guy creeps me the fuck out, and if horrific allegations about him came to light, I would not be surprised.
MrBeast IS a 13 year old brain piloting a grown man's body.
Nah, he’s aware of what he’s doing.
He was just “engagementmaxxing at all costs” before it was en vogue.
Since they won, we should rename that bit of water the Gulf of Belgium.
Checkmate: we now only order Freedom Waffles.
We should instead go back to calling American football "gridiron." It sounds cooler.
I prefer handegg.
A toxic masculinity-fueled sport like that could do with a whimsical but accurate name to balance things out.
waitball, where you spend most of the game waiting for them to do something with the ball
Unfortunately that would not differentiate the two
Or AdvertiseBalls. It’s just commercials with a bit of gameplay in between.
Wasn't there a chance of winning the World cup at around 1%? They had such a crap team that they had to import players from other countries who were technically American but didn't actually live there. Irony of irony is that Trump relies on immigrants to fill out the team.
To be fair I think that happens in every country. England used to have the best players in the world (Until SA started throwing money at the sport i guess, I dont follow much these days), but at world cup time suddenly we're playing against those players because theyre all foreigners.
They had the easiest path in the entire tournament to the round of 16, finally met a country halfway decent and got the doors blown off them.
Mr. Beast is an American ambassador for sure! He's probably yachting in the Gulf of America as we speak!
People with kids, please don’t let them get brainwashed by those cancer influencers
It’s called football because it’s primarily played with the feet (unlike that other ”football” game).
You mean handegg
American football has been referred to as just football (in America) longer than football (soccer) was called just football in Britain. It was called association football as a distinct game separate from rugby football and other football games. Football distinguishing it from games played on horseback. Soccer was British slang from association (similarly at the time rugby football has slang term rugger.) Eventually the association part fell out of use but other countries that had developed their own football games tended to still call it soccer. I don't really care either way, I'll call it football when talking to people who call it football and soccer with people who call out soccer, I just think the origin of the terms is pretty interesting.

This may blow your mind but there are other countries and they have always called it football (or the localized equivalent).

The problem with this line of argument is that basketball would also be football, as would baseball, cricket, hockey, and even cycling.
You had me until cycling. Which would clearly be "ball-less tech polo" or something like that 🤷🏻
I'm not beholden to what some rich kids (not my class) of the university of Rugby or Oxford or whatever (not my town) in England (not my country) called the sport once upon a time.
For that matter, you're not beholden to call it anything. You could make up a new term for it if you wanted. Don't let "the man" stop you!
This is how I learned the US lost at the World Cup.
They didn’t just lose, their king pissed of the Europeans so much they felt it necessary to stomp them in to the ground
On one hand, as an American, I would have loved to see us win.
On the other, nothing made me happier than seeing our asses get handed to us after Trump played interference.
I found out by seeing a post about CUM being defeated. Canadians, Americans and Mexicans. I only get my latest news from shitpost communities.
As if we needed yet another reason to hate Mr. Beast.
Americans pretty much stop playing footy at 12 years of age. If you are a talented athlete you probably end up playing basketball or football. American men will likely never be good since all the talent always goes elsewhere.
Footy/futbol/soccer is a third tier sport in the United States and it always will be. It's by far the single most popular sport in any country that is good at it. Median salary for the NFL and NBA is 10 times more than MLS.
Not even close really.
Can they also adopt the metric system like everyone else while they're at it too?
And also dump Phillips screw heads. They're godawful.
Most US students learn both but there is no centralized education so literally nothing is or can be adopted. The only standards you will follow are the discipline specific standards set by a collaborative council of large industry corporations who simultaneously approve or deny a course of accredited status of college credits.
Yes please. As an American I've become the annoying girl who often gives measurements in metric (tbh I mostly fit along with the Canadians on units) and I've grown to strongly prefer robertson screws.
Roberson was also a Canadian, so you're fitting along well in uh... your screw preferences too!
I'm all for calling the US/CA "football" as "gridiron football". I think it makes it seem more "alpha" anyway. (And, "football" alone matched the game play of "association football" better.)
Nope. Hand-Egg it is and will always be.
