The Rolling Crisp

I know here on tumblr.org many of you are not that into the sportsball, but I know you love righteous drama and pettiness, and oof, do we have some for you over in football land.

So Hungary, as you may’ve heard, has put out some anti-LGBT legislation that would ban the depiction or promotion of homosexuality to people under 18. It’s not quite law yet but it’s just got to get through their president Viktor Orban who is, unfortunately, a shit.

Meanwhile, football, no the other kind of football- the one with the round ball, is currently having a big European tournament. Euro 2020. Yeah, they didn’t rename it. Doesn’t matter.
Germany were due to play Hungary last night in Munich and they asked the governing body of the tournament for permission to light up the stadium in a rainbow. Like this:

But they said no. Specifically, they said no while dressed in a rainbow pfp and claiming that the rainbow isn’t a political symbol:

And Germany, bless them, looked at that and said, ooh bitch it’s on now.

Munich city hall got out the banners

Here are the fans going to the match

The German captain Manuel Neuer in his rainbow armband (which UEFA had previously made noises about disciplining him for, because they’re bastards all around)

A brief selection of the many stadiums across Germany that lit up in solidarity

And last but not least this absolute madlad who ran onto the pitch during Hungary’s anthem

Viktor Orban stayed at home and sulked, and Hungary got knocked out of the tournament.

Flags Mashup Bot is really out here trying to start World War III

UPDATES

My fav part is that it is genuinely just a bot. All it does is take two countries, puts the 2nd country’s colours on the 1st country’s flag and mixes their names together.

Literally the only other thing behind it is that the bot weights picking the second country based on how close they are to the first, and basic geography + history means that’s also where you’re going to get the most aggressive relations. This isn’t some guy trolling by making things specifically to piss people off, it’s some guy who likes flags going “wouldn’t it be fun to mix flags together, let’s write a bot for that” and accidentally creating a whole meme culture of “days since flag mashup bot last tried to start WW3 = 0” and the like.
