I know it’s somewhat obvious, but still feel the need to say that not all Hungarians are like that. Met some of the smartest, open-minded people there, great (sub)culture etc. Sad to see what’s happened to the country in the last couple of years though (imho).

Despite (because of?!) getting arrested there, Budapest is my favourite European city.

No, you misunderstood them.
Basically they are saying that they are a bunch of greedy, corrupt, inept, homophobic, cunts.

What I don’t get is that UEFA preach inclusion, diversity, respect for human rights, back anti-discrimination campaigns etc. All of these are inherently political so this is just another example of Uefa standing by principles only when it suits. I hate UEFA (and FIFA) so much.

Absolute respect to Mats Hummels for being in this shirt at the Germany press conference. 
In the meantime, the UEFA’s twitter / instagram etc. media accounts are spammed with rainbows

What a lovely gesture by Hummels.

He is a man with no friends and he only seems to be getting worse.

You do know that using that word can be construed as being severely sexist, right?

Is ‘bumholes’ going to be the new gender neutral PC swear word?
In U.S. parlance it’s a reprehensible word. You almost can’t say it. I suspect it doesn’t carry quite the pejorative impact in the U.K. I do wince when reading it in a post, and for me it has ruined many an otherwise excellent post.

Americans are prudes about language though - ironically this is what gives swear words their power. Glamorisation of violence and guns is okay but swearing is unacceptable. What a country!
Re ‘cunt’ - I expect feminism will reclaim the word to reposition it as something that is not derogatory.

It’s being reported as a knee injury, but it’s really a muscle/tendon injury in that he tore the hamstring tendon off the bone in the knee and needs it surgically reattached. That is an injury of a player who has almost zero prospects of ever being able to stay fit ever again.

But it’s used pretty frequently?

Oh yeah- I use it myself occasionally on here, usually in relation to the two Manchester clubs.
Just wanted you to be aware, as a non-native English speaker, that it can cause offence.

I never use it. Many women have told me that they find it offensive and sexist.
I see that plenty on here do use it, including people who are generally against discrimination.
