As promised, here are some pictures from the month of February. Meaning Stockholm, Gothenburg, Uppsala, London etc. If the pictures don't show it, I should tell you I had a lot of fun. A lot. A personal favourite was the snowball war at 5 AM versus a group of spanish people. We totally won, by the way. Granted, we did have homefield advantage.
And on a sidenote, fuck the boycott of the tennis match between Sweden and Israel. If you like tennis, just go. People who mix sports with politics are always people who don't care about sports.

sports has a lot to do with politics. in fact it's unavoidable when a team represents a country, they symbolise everything the country does.
ask yourself how many afghanis cheered on the russians in the 70's? ask yourself how many vietnamese cheered on the americans in the 60's? think about it, sports IS politics. doubting it would be being ignorant.
when israel blew up gaza's only international football stadium (built by fifa)in january 9th this year, it had to do a lot with politics.
not to mention that the ancient olympic games started with the idea that all countries that participated had to make ceasefire deals during the games. obviously they failed, since politics and games has always gone hand in hand.
so instead of using the old cliche that "sports and politics has nothing to with each other", look at the history and you'll see that saying so is just an easy way out of taking sides.
and yes, the people planning to demonstrate on saturday probably doesnt give a shit about tennis. as little as you give a shit about the whole israel/palestine situation.
haha hur lång tid tog det att skriva det där? var ärlig.
..and obviously you don't care about politics.
It's not that I don't care. And I don't try to kid myself by saying that sports and politics are not related. I'm just saying that should be the ambition. If you start mixing sports with politics on purpose, within 50 years, nobody will be able to play anyone. All due to you people.
for shame.
