the user base of tumblr is a specific demographic of people who were ‘the smart kid’ growing up but didn’t do as well academically as they got older due to mental health struggles, were probably bullied in school and were quite lonely & introverted so they took solace in reading but now rarely pick up a book, grew up on tumblr but continued using it into adulthood unlike most of their peers who stopped using it after it lost popularity
But I love the football that brings people together across religious divides, geographic divides, political divides.

The biggest diverse, invasive or pervasive culture that human kinds knows is football and I love the fact that at the altar of football human kind can come worship and celebrate. x
Tonight against Everton in the Premier League, Manchester United are set to extend a historic streak of having an academy graduate in the first-team matchday squad — a streak of 4000 games, dating back to 1937. From Tom Manley and Jackie Walsall, to the Busby Babes, to the Class of ‘92, and now the new kids on the block under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, United have carried on a proud tradition of fielding homegrown talent.
The top five of United’s all-time appearances list are all academy graduates, as are several of the club’s record goalscorers. Fifteen managers over 82 years have given youth a chance. It is, as current manager Solskjaer says, “in our DNA”.
United’s leading goalscorer and talisman for the season is Marcus Rashford (13 goals), who has been with United since age seven. 18-year-old Mason Greenwood follows with six (6) goals and has been with United since age six.
