Too fucking right. It is beyond tiresome to fire up the laptop and wonder whether I'll need a VPN to access GitHub today

I'll repeat what I said the last time about laliga...

> Foot egg is so ingrained into the countrymen that nothing else matters.

> There wouldn't be so much of a forced monopoly if more people would stop watching games and stand up to laliga.

> Complaining on the internet every time laliga shuts down github etc isn't going to change anything, we can't solve your problems, the change has to come from within.

Props to the court for telling laliga to go away.

Refering to football as foot egg when it’s actually a ball as opposed to the hand egg in the US is weird to me.

OT: La Liga shouldn’t have this kind of power and it’s good to see the court take a stance

They call American football handegg, we should be able to do the opposite. :P

Which is foot ball. Not foot egg.

that just sounds petty for the sake of pettiness, surely you can do better in terms of mocking

The opposite would be foot ball. Although both are petty as anyway both are called it because it is played on foot with a ball. Not because you use your foot to kick a ball.
