I'm going to be honest here, this bothers me to no end.
I have been to Italy more times than I can count. My family recently bought a house there too. But the sheer toxicity is difficult to swallow. It's just one conspiracy theory after another. If something goes wrong, it's the fault of someone else. It's so incredibly pervasive in Italian culture. No, you're not poor because people are stealing from you. You're poor, because you're a fucking idiot.
It's just.. Man, you don't have to be a lawyer to see this is all bullshit. It's probably even worse than Calciopoli. You have the fucking Minister of Sport demanding to know why other teams weren't punished, because the offences take at least two clubs and the practice was so widespread every club is shitting its pants right now. It's just going to set Italian football back another 20 years and all because teams couldn't be bothered to better themselves, but thought it was easier to try and take Juventus down.
Fucking Italians.
