Why are people making a big deal out of this? This is gold and the dude should be handsomely compensated for it. | ||

TLDR final table positions based on points per game. Celtic champs, Hearts relegated, St Johnstone jumped over Hibernian. | ||

I guess that could explain the Korean reaction. Most of the world is probably more amused than outraged. | ||

Korean culture are extremely conservative outside but behind closed doors, anything goes. Porn is still outlawed, anyone with any drug use are banned from appearing in public TV etc. You may want to google for more info. K pop has done a good job whitewashing on how we perceives South Korea | ||

Those were not just sex dolls, but a decent number of them were still wearing advertisement for their manufacturer. And that was a bigger issue than the mannequins themselves. | ||

Ironically the clubs had a very lively fan friendship before the reunification. - Union is considered a rebelish workers club (not very liked with the eastern leadership...), Hertha nowadays has the image of an (unsuccessful) club of the rich. - Union has a cramped stadium, but with hardcore fans, Hertha has the huge olympic stadium (they can nearly never fill), but less fanatic fan support and a ton of VIP, business and casual spectators, which are unsurprisingly looked down upon by the hardcore purists - both clubs avoided playing each other for most of the time(first because the German divide, then because they were leagues apart), and only in the recent history have actually met each other. Overall, I would actually say that there is not much in terms of rivalry besides the usual stuff when a town has 2 teams in the same league and the boring "true football fans" vs "evil commercials" (and Hertha isn't really a good representation of commercial footie either, so this is a weak reasoning). But since both teams don't have much else going in terms of active rivalries... This is kinda the biggest thing they have right now. The times of Union Berlin vs BFC Dynamo or similar are gone. And Hertha is too boring to really cause proper rivalries. And them being isolated for decades didn't help to build those either. | ||

I'm gonna cheer for Union win I think? Or a Piatek gol, both would be fun | ||
