Ok, the one day I take a break from political news, am sharing a story. I manage and play in an Over50 soccer league. Our team has been playing for a while. Used to be Over40 but now we get old.
Today one of my teammates got a yellow card for cursing in English at the referee. Meanwhile, because I know all the Portuguese curse words, the other team was cursing at the referee during the first half all in Portuguese.
During halftime, I told the ref that I am calling BS. My guy says one curse word in English and you give him a yellow card. You are 10
players on other team cursing at you on Portuguese and you do nothing.

Ref says, well, I don't know Portuguese. I tell him, maybe you should because what they are calling you is pretty bad and no yellow card for them.
The ref was confused as if I was calling him out. I backed down but told him again that he was being mocked all game and he didn't even know.
Even the Brazilian players, once I told them, agreed.
Anyway, I think I got a couple of calls in second half because of my explanation.
We won the game.
