I'm grateful for the recent changes in the moderation of Hashtags via Mastodon but I really wished it had a "filter" option in the dropdown, like "add to new or existing filter", mute hashtag, etc. Now that sports season is back and there are a thousand and one teams and more people are active, using team and game specific hashtags, it's gonna be hard to chase, esp when people don't use universal sport hashtags like #Football#Soccer #baseball#Rugby, etc along with their team or game specific tags. It is exciting to see sports growing in the Fediverse, though. #Mastodon #dev#MastoDev
“Activists who disrupt the flow of weapons to a genocidal regime may violate petty criminal statutes, but they uphold a far greater law and a more profound human imperative: to protect a people and culture from annihilation,” she wrote.

Imagine seeing a banner that says
“STOP KILLING CHILDREN
STOP KILLING CIVILIANS”
And your reaction is like this.
Tell me again, why do we need to have any kind of respect or support for these people?

Portugal FC: le foot, support de l’histoire des immigrés portugais
En banlieue parisienne, une myriade de clubs de #football ont été créés par des ouvriers portugais venus clandestinement en France. Ces équipes ont permis aux exilés de s’affirmer comme individus à part entière et transmettent au fil des générations les mémoires de leur communauté.

Your feel-good story of the day, about a young Vietnamese-Australian joining an AFL team:
"When Jayden Nguyen was nine years old he arrived home one day and surprised his father, Duc, with the news he wanted to play footy with his mates.
"Duc knew little of the AFL, having arrived in Australia as a refugee from Vietnam with his dad in 1986, but his son was keen, so why not.
"On Saturday afternoon at the SCG the proud father will stand and speak to his son’s Bomber teammates moments before Jayden becomes, according to Essendon, the first player of Vietnamese descent to play in the AFL. He’ll also be their 14th debutant this season – an AFL era record."

Only three games left in the #WEuros
Somehow, Germany beat France to send them through to the semis where they will face big bad Spain.
England face Italy tomorrow in their semi final 😨
Nach Umbenennung von Sportteams: Trump will "Redskins" und "Indians" zurück
Vor mehr als drei Jahren änderte das Footballteam Washington Redskins seinen Namen zu Washington Commanders. Nun will US-Präsident Trump dies rückgängig machen und droht dem Verein. Auch eine Baseballmannschaft hat er im Blick.
Not against half time shows, except on football.
If they do this shit again on the #WorldCup im going to flip it.

Finally got 2 nice tickets for the test match against AS Monaco.
Portugal did well to hold on against Spain last night.
5-0 might look like a bad scoreline but for a team that didn't even qualify* for the Euros last time, against the current World Champions, it's not too shabby.
Now, can we talk about how every group has neighbour countries in it?!

We're all women-of-a-certain-age who know very little about #football. You're welcome to join us, whoever you are!
Reply or DM if you would like more info.
*I accept there may well only be three Wales games 😜
