Part of me wants Ireland to get knocked out of the Rugby World Cup.

Reason: only the bourgeoisie in Ireland play rugby. The working class mock them and their weird accents.

But Ireland have never won a World Cup in anyfuckingthng so maybe now I am a traitor? Should I swear loyalty to the Queen??

    But also being elitist against sports team players isnt going to help you build popular support and would creep into being IDpol id suspect; id better focus my attention at criticizing capitalist infulence on sports rather than sports players themselves, more likely to build friendships with my fellow working class who enjoy it by tapping into something they likely feel too, then explaining it with a marxist analysis.

    Edit: Also you’re right to ID that sports players tend to be bougie, I think its because while they dont all start as bougie people (although it helps) capitalist sports encourage a fascist mindset, and reward those who manage to climb to the top untold wealth; it certainly would give one the impression of neo-liberal myths being true regarding hard works reward; its an illusion of course.
