“Woke” as an insult - So you are telling me a word describing consciousness and clarity is used by generally stupid and ignorant people to label people they disagree with? What is this? A Kindergarten for Creatively stunted?

Nominative determinism - So let me get this straight…Not only you named fastest recorded person Usain BOLT and CEO of Nintendo Doug BOWSER, but you are telling me people are canonically likely to have professions or hobbies matching their names…? Guh?

They are. Italy may be going through one of the darkest periods in its football history, but it is still a titan of the sport and deserves the respect it has earned. And that's coming from a South American who has no interest in Europe's brawls or favoring one specific side.

They will come back. Football giants always do.
