We associate #trolling with #edgelord #bigotry
But a #troll can do good
Example:
" #Egypt and #Iran are calling on #football #soccer’s governing body to intervene in the #LGBT #Pride celebration planned to coincide with their group stage match in #Seattle at the 2026 #WorldCup"
Egypt is playing Iran during Seattle Pride Week
And local organizers designated it a Pride Match

Hey Egypt, Hey Iran: 🖕
There is nothing wrong with #LGBTQIA #LGBTQ

@ncoca The AFC has 8 qualified teams, with the possible of another should Iraq win their playoff game.
If countries like China, India, Indonesia or Thailand are ever going to qualify they need to improve their football. It’s got absolutely nothing to do with it being rigged. To suggest such a thing reveals you to be a clueless fucking moron. Stick to cricket champ. #WorldCup #FIFAWorldCup
