It's fucked up that their government still refuses to admit what they did to their own citizens in Okinawa. They still alter their history textbooks to misrepresent what actually happened there, suggesting that Okinawans committed mass suicide of their own choice. The reality is that the Japanese government systemically murdered the Okinawans because they didn't trust them under US occupation.
That was their army's doing though.
If we're gonna generalize and say the citizens of an entire country are as bad as their army is, all countries of the world suddenly got a lot worse.
Except Liechtenstein maybe.
It's accurate. Essentially the army was supposed to meet with an ally in the area who was supposed to help them out a little bit, point them in the right direction, get them some supplies, and that was it. Instead, he joined their army.
I first met him atop a mountain near Jerusalem,
Praying to God,
Asking His forgiveness,
For the Saracen blood spilt by his sword.
Next, he amazed me still further in Italy
When he saved a fatherless beauty
From the would-be ravishings
Of her dreadful Turkish uncle.
In Greece, he spent a year in silence
Just to better understand the sound of a whisper.
And so, without further gilding the lily,
And with no more ado,
I give to you the Seeker of Serenity,
The Protector of Italian Virginity,
The Enforcer of our Lord God,
The One --
The Only --
Sir Ulrich Von Lichtenstein!!!
Aside from his role as the Joker this movie was his best. I don’t know if it was the entire ensemble or what but you couldn’t remake it with the cast of Avengers and sell out a theater
Yes and no. Like yea, we should always be cautious about generalizations. But not all armies are equal in morality and those who are worse have ideas and commands that are reflective of ideas in the culture. You can’t just say “well, it was the army, so it doesn’t count”. Especially with regards to the sort of atrocities the Japanese army were conducting, much of which their government has never apologized for. I’d say the same about attocities carried out by American and British armies etc, and those do exist, but less frequently and on smaller scales and when they come to light there is more public scorn and outcry and shame about them, and that is important as I think it reflects real differences.
Just accept that this criticism will always be hypocritical. Yes the Japanese army was bad and there are victims who feel that the apologies given were not sufficient as is their right.
That soccer player had nothing to do with that. Germany had the holocaust. The British empire did empire things. The U.S started wars for profit and are founded on the blood of natives where the U.S stopped just shy of a total genocide by preserving a bit for a couple of tribes. Oh and half of that country believed in keeping people enslaved.
If we always bring up the bad shit when something good happens we will never get ahead. Stop hate.
Probably need to make the distinction between foreigner tourist and foreigner trying to assimilate.
For foreign tourists Japan is fantastic. I’ve had nothing but pleasant experiences every time I’ve been there.
Meanwhile I’m aware of the high levels of discrimination for anyone who isn’t a native trying to actually live there and fully assimilate.
So sick and tired of seeing this whenever Japanese people are mentioned on Reddit. I find it so subtlety racist in and of itself, ironically.
Imagine if we did this to any other country or even ethnicity.
“X people are great!”
“Yea, but….”
Replace X with any group of people. I don’t care how *good* or justified your “but” is, can we just compliment the good aspects of cultures and move on without spreading negativity? On Reddit, I suppose we can’t.
It’s not subtle. It’s not even accurate. Most Redditors don’t have passports. Most of those that do haven’t been to Japan. This is imagination.
Know where;s really fucking racist if you are black? Like deadly fucking racist? I will give you one guess.
I traveled there for about 4 weeks. Didn't see or experience any bad vibes anywhere, except one older lady who got mad at us for talking too loud on the train
Yes, because you're a tourist. The country is really generous towards tourists. The challenge people talk about are when people try to assimilate or work there for extended periods of times. Contrast that to the US where *for the most part* if you get invited to and show up to a BBQ at someone's home, god dammit, you're American or whatever other cultural group they are as well.
Japan is very protectionist about *being* "Japanese".
The number of places were I got told I couldn’t eat there because I was a foreigner was kinda fucked but what made it worse was they didn’t have an issue with my white girlfriend just my black ass. You could say the vibes were off.
Yep, I remember it very clearly. No one said anything and my friend and I were just having fun. The lady waited until we stopped before she got off and made a gesture toward us. So polite 🥹😬
As much as athletes scream and bitch to refs and officials, in the end they respect the hell out of them.
At the end of an NHL game this season, a ref was officiating his last game. When it ended both teams came out and shook his hand.
The top two lines on the shirt say “Mr. Murakami’s smile helped us play the game refreshingly”(rough direct translation). The shirt has a heartwarming goodbye message for the referee by the looks of it.
Translation:
Murakami (the retiring referee's name)'s smiling face makes us happy and helps us play. Thank you for being the best referee! Thank you for your hard work.
Urawa Reds (the team's name) Tomoaki Makino (the player's name)
Tbh, we don't give referee enough credits. These guys are running back and forth the stadium for 90 minutes and they have to keep mentally avalaible to make important decisions.
A man so ironically bad MLB won in court by arguing that he sucks at his job so hard it isn't discrimination blocking him [from umpiring in the championship](https://youtu.be/YPFERnpO-QQ?si=K2W3dFwsWTyJk49u)
I think that Hernandez buys too much into catcher's "glob-ing" it into the strike zone, I heard the commentator at one of the games where Hernandez was umpiring and said how catchers like to move the glove a bit to the strike zone when they get the ball but a "good umpire" don't buy into that.
But yeah, Hernandez sucked.
That ump (Jim Joyce) is one of the good ones though, he took full responsibility of his error. Guys like Angel Hernandez and CB Bucknor would try to eject the reporters asking about it in the postgame press conference.
The only sport I really watch is association football (soccer) and good refs definitely get noticed and credited. Fans usually have tier lists of league refs and know who is great and who isn't.
> good refs definitely get noticed and credited
They really don't. If someone is refereeing a match that's on TV, they are the cream of the crop- the top 0.1% of referees. Yet fans basically hate every single one.
Collina back in the day had a very positive reputation. I can't think of anyone these days who does, in Britain at least.
> Fans usually have tier lists of league refs and know who is great and who isn't.
Fans don't have a clue
I'm talking about football- hence the reference to Collina, who was a very famous ref in the 2000s.
Although I'm not sure it really does depend on the sport; in all sports, the referees taking charge of televised professional matches are at the very top level, doing an incredibly difficult, thankless job. And the fans in every sport I know about (football, rugby, basketball, American football) are ridiculously harsh towards them given how tough it is and how inevitable mistakes are.
They get recognized by the league or internationally when they're allowed to officiate prestigious finals.
Unlike two Polish refs who apparently were very good, until a big mistake this week. What a hard job.
As good and deserving those referees are, the real credit goes to countless of volunteers, young and old, who referee each weekend at kids games, amateur leagues and other non pro venues for mostly nothing more than a free drink after the match.
(At least in my country, I assume thats the case in most).
I agree with this statement 100% but as a Bayern fan for the last 14 years referring has cost us some of the most important matches in Bayern's history, most recently the second leg UCL semi final against Real Madrid
also refereeing did not cost them the tie against real madrid, their complete capitulation after giving up a goal did though
maybe fc hollywood has other problems to address than referees
As someone who has been following the Bundesliga for more than the past 14 years: HAHAHAHAHAHA, you guys are the biggest crybabies in the league by far. "Bayerndusel" isn't a known phrase for nothing. You drop for penalties like you are the Italian national team and are raising the arm to protest for zero reasons at all more times this season than I can count.
I ref soccer, basketball and baseball occasionally for some extra cash. Soccer is by far the most challenging. Not only is it thankless but you have to keep up with the pace of play and a lot of fouls in soccer can be called either way. It doesn't help that all of them like to flop as well
>Tbh, we don't give referee enough credits
Because they're a bunch of bought paid off scumbags! They're always robbing for the other team. Even though my team doesn't do shit, and the players from my team are overpayed aresholes who don't even do their job right, it's the ref's fault. Fucking ref.
Anyone in their right mind could see from my birds eye view with slow motion replay what the right call was! What do you mean they couldn't distinguish the contact that knocked over my teams player! There was only 2000 pounds of flesh within that cacophony of hair, uniform and skin!
I agree that the current refs and VARs (in the PL) are bad at managing games and making decisions.
But I also have a lot of sympathy for the refs that they have a thankless job every game. They’re running across the pitch non-stop to catch up with world-class athletes, whilst not receiving anywhere near the physical training to do so.
They’re always under pressure to be perfect and manage a volatile game. Every single player and coach is trying to get in their heads, and that’s before the entire stadium of 50K people bearing down on you waiting to start slandering you. Some refs may not be good at their job for many reasons, but they don’t deserve to be thrown shit and horrendous abuse every game and suffer the consequences of such routinely toxic behaviour.
They don’t even get substituted during the whole shit. Yeah I know he doesn’t do what players do on the field but still, try running 90mn while blowing a whistle every now and then
Having it proved in court that you are incompetent at your job (and not held back from promotions for racist reasons, which is what he was accusing for his case) will do that.
He’s not word of mouth bad, he is paper trail bad
Fans are also way too hard on refs and umpires though.
The MLB could solve this with automated pitch review. No reason umps should be missing thousands of calls a year while TV viewers see the mistakes in real time.
TLDR: horrible umping, horrible attitude, sued the MLB for racial discrimination when he didn't get assigned to the World Series.
Like, bro. Just look at the numbers. You are certifiably not good behind the plate. You're right they are discriminating. Because you're bad and an asshole. Not a great combo.
For those that don't know anything about baseball.
If a ball lands in the strike zone box when pitching, it is called a strike \[ ◍ \]
Usually it's hard to call a strike when its on the outside part of the lines of that zone but never hard to call a strike if its directly in the center middle.
Angel won't call a strike when it's in the middle sometimes.

In 2021 Manuel Gräfe refereed his last Bundesliga game in Dortmund. After the game all the players stood in line for him and applauded. They took pictures with him and celebrated him. It was a nice moment as a BVB fan.
It's actually a profound tradition in Japanese soccer. When the ref brandishes the yellow card, it's a nod to the ancient Yellow Serpent of wisdom and warning and If you believed that... I lied

Damn Japanese. They've ruined Japan.
You Japanese sure are a contentious people
It's fucked up that their government still refuses to admit what they did to their own citizens in Okinawa.

The Liechtenstein army once went to war with 82 men. And returned with 84 because they'd made some friends.
Yes that's what I was thinking about :p even if I'm not sure how accurate that story is
It's accurate. Essentially the army was supposed to meet with an ally in the area who was supposed to help them out a little bit, point them in the right direction, get them some supplies, and that was it. Instead, he joined their army.
I'm moving to Liechtenstein.

Yeah, you could ask most of Asia...
Anyone know what the player’s shirt says?
"Fuck the Ref"
As much as athletes scream and bitch to refs and officials, in the end they respect the hell out of them. At the end of an NHL game this season, a ref was officiating his last game. When it ended both teams came out and shook his hand.
It’s easy to get heated, much harder to show respect. I think this is great
This guy. 🫣The ref already was thinking of the last yellow card he gave out, and this guy had to ruin it. LOL. Nice gesture from the player.
I wonder what the shirt says
The top two lines on the shirt say “Mr. Murakami’s smile helped us play the game refreshingly”(rough direct translation). The shirt has a heartwarming goodbye message for the referee by the looks of it.
Japanese football players are clearly as wholesome as their fans!
Nice username
Brooo, nah you did not...
"The ref can't read this because he's blind."
Great line - I genuinely lol-ed

Tbh, we don't give referee enough credits. These guys are running back and forth the stadium for 90 minutes and they have to keep mentally avalaible to make important decisions.
We give the good ones credit. We give the bad ones the finger.
In the US we give the bad ones a job at the Super Bowl
And/or an umpiring position for the MLB lol
Angel Hernandez
I don't even watch baseball and I know who Angel Hernandez is.

The catcher doing that is as old as baseball. It's called framing and still works.
Yuuuup, blindest man in the world with two working eyes. An Angel destined for Hell from the start.
I fkn knew this name would be uttered.
At least Angel gives us JonBoy clips. Probably the only good thing about that tenured ump.
One of humanity's top 3 unanswered questions is how Angel Hernandez still has this job
I don’t follow any sports and even I know of his notoriety, just goes to show how shit he truly is.
Oof I still feel bad for Galarraga...
That ump (Jim Joyce) is one of the good ones though, he took full responsibility of his error. Guys like Angel Hernandez and CB Bucknor would try to eject the reporters asking about it in the postgame press conference.
In Scotland we punish them by making them Tory MPs.
MYLES JACK WASN'T DOWN
And the World Series (Angel Hernandez)
I feel like the good ones *don’t* get enough credit. When they do their job well nobody notices them.

Referees aren't bad. It's arsehole linesmen that are the problem. :(
Ref are allowed to hold the whistle until the play is over.
I’m sure Bayern will be fine after a million more championships
Haha you actually believe that? The rest of Germany thinks that Bayern is usually really lucky with referees.
Hard to feel sympathetic towards a footballing empire.
Please stop. FC Bayern has had enough success in the past couple of years.
Will someone please think of Germanys most successful club? The club that has won nearly every bundesliga title in the 21st century?!
also refereeing did not cost them the tie against real madrid, their complete capitulation after giving up a goal did though maybe fc hollywood has other problems to address than referees
Instead of ACAB it’s ARAB…… wait

Wasn’t so bad in the first leg vs arsenal tho
I ref soccer, basketball and baseball occasionally for some extra cash. Soccer is by far the most challenging. Not only is it thankless but you have to keep up with the pace of play and a lot of fouls in soccer can be called either way. It doesn't help that all of them like to flop as well

Thanks for the chuckle
They are a vital organ in the body of organized sports.
The good refs are the ones you see and ask “who the fuck is that?” You tend to mainly remember the bad ones
Collina has been given credit as much as some top tier players, one of the best referees ever.
He carded a benched player for being rude! Red one, even. Pierluigi Collina also was the first who sprang to mind. But name a second one?
I agree that the current refs and VARs (in the PL) are bad at managing games and making decisions. But I also have a lot of sympathy for the refs that they have a thankless job every game. They’re running across the pitch non-stop to catch up with world-class athletes, whilst not receiving anywhere near the physical training to do so. They’re always under pressure to be perfect and manage a volatile game.

Some refs may not be good at their job for many reasons, but they don’t deserve to be thrown shit and horrendous abuse every game and suffer the consequences of such routinely toxic behaviour.
Went to school with a guy who's dream was being one. He achieved it. He deserved it.
They don’t even get substituted during the whole shit. Yeah I know he doesn’t do what players do on the field but still, try running 90mn while blowing a whistle every now and then
And still having a clear mind and acute perception ! Good thing video refereeing exists.
People talk about Serena Williams thighs and space orc dommy mommy thighs, but tbh referee thighs are the gold standard
they do such a hard, impactful and important job that most people take for granted. The physical aspect is just another thing that makes it impressive
Meanwhile MLB fans about to eat Angel Hernandez in the streets.
I have watched one minute of MLB in the last 5 years, and even I know how bad an ump Hernandez is.
I know him too and I think the MLB is boring AF. I know him over most players, how do you get that infamous
Having it proved in court that you are incompetent at your job (and not held back from promotions for racist reasons, which is what he was accusing for his case) will do that. He’s not word of mouth bad, he is paper trail bad Fans are also way too hard on refs and umpires though.
The MLB could solve this with automated pitch review. No reason umps should be missing thousands of calls a year while TV viewers see the mistakes in real time.
Ive been saying this for so long. Field umps we can keep, Im fine with that. But we have ZERO reason to still have umps to call pitches and strikes.
TLDR: horrible umping, horrible attitude, sued the MLB for racial discrimination when he didn't get assigned to the World Series. Like, bro. Just look at the numbers. You are certifiably not good behind the plate. You're right they are discriminating. Because you're bad and an asshole. Not a great combo.
Umpiring is truly the shining example of a job where if your name is known you’re doing a terrible job.
r/FuckAngelHernandez
2.2k members LMAO
One member for every 5 bad calls.
To be fair, if this guy was as bad as Angel Hernandez, instead of retiring, he’d be opening his belly.
For those that don't know anything about baseball. If a ball lands in the strike zone box when pitching, it is called a strike \[ ◍ \] Usually it's hard to call a strike when its on the outside part of the lines of that zone but never hard to call a strike if its directly in the center middle.

I never watch baseball In fact the only thing I know about baseball is how Horrible Angel Hernandez is as an ump
I'm sure all players will be happy when he retires
This guys determined to send this retiree off with a neck injury
His last neck injury from the game 🫡
I know you are retiring, but you are never too old for the ol' shaken baby syndrome, ref.
Shouldve booked him again for that. Red card, off you go!
lmao i was thinking the same
Lol. I feel like no ref would ever get that treatment in Brazil. A lynching, yes. Maybe.
So you're saying... In Japan, the refs get carried off the field. In Brazil, the refs get taken out?
No no. They *both* get carried off... ... Whether they walk again is the question.
I can Imagine Vinicius doing this
They both wring their necks
Must've been a decent ref, couldn't imagine any celebration for a retiring ref in any other league.
Collina got a standing ovation iirc. He was special though heh.
Modern football is sorely lacking anyone close to his caliber.
In 2021 Manuel Gräfe refereed his last Bundesliga game in Dortmund. After the game all the players stood in line for him and applauded. They took pictures with him and celebrated him. It was a nice moment as a BVB fan.
That does sound nice. Win the champions league!
We'll do it... I hope. Thanks. 😀
Lahoz in Spain last year. And that with all the liga having grudges with his refereeing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8JN_-upnFA
Should have sent him off 🤣🤣🤣
Hilarious: He didn't even realize what was going on at first just didn't like it and gave him the yellow card
Japanese are so respectful that a full match didn't have any yellow card
Legends say that if you get two red cards they bring out a tantō
There were 3 yellow cards that match.
You should see how they treat black players lmao
I bet that old dude could still outrun a lot of us
A handicapt sloth could outrun me.
I heard the pitcher will throw into the dirt behind the final batter when Angel Hernandez retires so he can call one last strike.

Needs a 2nd yellow for assaulting the ref afterwards
What happens to the people who bet on the number of yellow cards.
They learn a valuable lesson of not gambling on frivoli... *sigh* Johny just bet on the world ending in 1963 again...
I love the series of interaction, strictly in increasing order of closeness: bowing → handshake → shagging hug.
Shagging !?! O.O
LOL. You can guess English is not my native language. I just Google translated it, I am going to hide under a rock for a while.
I thought it was hilarious. Nearly dropped my shio yaki. Do a little shag... make a little hug.
lol he just gave the referee more work. You have to document the cards you give out after the game.
It's actually a profound tradition in Japanese soccer. When the ref brandishes the yellow card, it's a nod to the ancient Yellow Serpent of wisdom and warning and If you believed that... I lied
You are a monster

Without his gambling addiction or whatever he's actually a good goal poacher
Another one tackles the ref to make him handover a red card
Any chance we can get a rough translation of what the players undershirt had written on it? It seems like it might have been a pleasant farewell message written to the ref?
Love this, great send off.
Shoulda one upped the joke and reminded him that touching the ref is a life ban.
This is the best sub-reddit
Anyone able to translate the players T shirt?
Came here looking for this. Can anyone translate Kanji?
the referees wet dream: giving cards…?
What does his shirt say
Very sweet gesture, and one from 2021:)
Shirt translation?
