    This isn’t killing with kindness, this is using the facade of kindness to belittle someone and their opinion.

    Do you really think they need a hug, or are you just insinuating that their opinion looks like an emotional outburst?

      If you’re talking about the base image, it’s sort of real.

      The player is YouTuber Max Fosh and it was a charity football event. However the incident (as far as we know) was not scripted and he actually tried hard to get a yellow card just to be able to pull off this stunt. You could probably find the video he made on it by searching “Max Fosh yellow card”.

        For Football rules this would result in a red for dissent towards an official. If they’re lenient then just a second yellow

        I haven’t kept up with rules that use a blue card to comment on it’s place here
