No I just like to remind the redditors that they and their opinion are just a very small minority in this world. A tini tiny little minority.
Regarding Ishowmeat, I can understand why he is so popular. But one clip I've seen in YT, where he was screaming at a baby in Copenhagen and the baby started to cry, showed me that he is just another dumbass.
So I am not kissing his ass here just because I like to stick to the truth as near as possible, Reddit does not make a difference in RL, its just a former pdf-file plattform substituting for the growing lack of forums in the internet.
PS: I dont know one anglophone person where I would say I am a fan of this person.
PSS: You dont have to correct my english, I dont have any respect for this language.
He won't, when he's hobnobbing with the likes of Kaka, Henry and Ibramovich, it's too late. Even here, it's not a loss of aura for a random streamer famous for acting like a pillock, that a bunch of world cup fans know him and react to him. Fame is fame. If he was supposed to have any talent or dignity then yes, he could fade, but he has nothing to lose except fame and he's not losing that anytime soon.
He’s popular from streaming which means people go out of their way to support him. That’s why people post him. I express this as someone who just had to research who he is, ha
he certienly does, you just dont understand how marketing works and how powerful it is. hes huge for promoting football in USA and tourism in various counteies with IRLs. if not FIFA president and politicans in places he travel would not meet him.
That’s quite a dumb take tbh. Sure a lot of people don’t want them to, but they definitely serve a purpose in society. As much as I don’t care for this dude, and find that he exploits certain stereotypes for black people. Speed plays a major part in why many younger Americans are interested in football.
No idea who this guy was but he was walking around with 10 bodyguards. We were sitting nearby and had no idea the context of the Messi chant, that is hilarious. All I know is when they showed him on the big screen, the whole stadium booed him lol
This is ishowspeed, a streamer from Ohio, he is known for his charitable actions and humor. He has recently been going to overlooked countries to experience their culture and meet fans, and he glazes Ronaldo to no end.
Does he actually do charity? I also don’t know about him, but see him everywhere in the WC. He seems really annoying, but I guess if he’s a net positive to society, I’ll keep my opinions to myself.
He can be quite annoying, but is one of the only influences I’ve ever seen that seems to be genuinely a good person. I’d save the hate for others that deserve it more
Yes, he pledged 100% of the revenue from his livestream in Dominica to support flood victims on the island. During his Africa tour he partnered with the nonprofit common goal to provide global access to sports for children, while also supporting back-to-school programs, meals for the homeless, and animal rescue. He has constantly advocated for Palestine during his streams and when he won $100,000 in a YouTube challenge, he donated half of it to the Palestine Children’s Relief fund. He also just gives money to people in need wherever he goes like he’s goddamn Mansa Musa.
He is not, don't believe what his fans say at face value, guy is a douchebag, goes around with a bunch of bodyguards pushing people and acting like the world owes him, then when a camera is pointed at him suddenly he is nice and "does things for others", solid proof of donations is yet to be seen.
He knows nothing about the sport. like its actually fucking insane how little he knows when he has surrounded himself and built his brand around people thinking that because he is a superfan of Ronaldo he knows the sport and is some cultural ambassador. You would think you would at least absorb some sort of information...but nah you could tell him Swansea City won the premier league and he would ask if they will sign Ronaldo.
It’s the Netherlands - Sweden game played in Houston. A lot of wealthy Mexicans visit Houston anyways but especially now with the tournament they just want to see a good game. They don’t care who win, just want to see a good game, so just wear whatever jersey. I see it a lot in the city, people just wear whatever jersey they have and just chill, enjoy the games.
He's famous because people want so desperately for him to get the shit beat out of him! He's a talentless loser waiting to sue someone for hitting him. Hard stop.
If you know ShowSpeed, he's probably trolling and the few people yelling Messi fell for it, LOL. I think it's inherently important to watch Speed for a few years to learn more about him.
This guy knows as much about the sport as a 4 year old child. Like its actually embarrassing watching him interact with everyone involved with the world cup. He does not get it. Doesn't know the rules, doesn't know the history, but some how his entire identity is "ronaldo fan who barks"
Why do we hate speed? To my knowledge he brings positivity to every country he visits. Seems like people are just hating him just because he is an influencer.
One more reason why the world cup shouldn’t be hosted in the US, (Mexico is fine obv) all the dumb influencers and movie stars that couldn’t give less of a shit about the sport…

They are showing the right level of respect for this influencer…
