It's not as insane as it looks. After a few hours on an fpv drone you can easily fly like you see here no issues. Look up some of the pros flying around tight spaces on Youtube, now those guys are insane.

The bigger problem is that flying over people like this is a big no-no, and completely illegal in most parts of the world. Even the best pilot in the world can have a faulty prop and suddenly plummet down into the crowd. And while racing FPV drones like the one that is probably being used here aren't very heavy, they'll still clock in at 6-700 grams with camera, which could do some real damage if you hit someone's face at 100km/h

exactly, you don't understand it and that's ok. Many people are very passionate about a lot of things. You are just not passionate about sports (or team sports, whatever). You don't have to be. But football is kind of a big deal being the biggest sport tournament in the entire world by far (or at least western world)
I assume you are from the united states, and I (am from Argentina) work with people from the USA, and I also don't understand many things from your culture, and that's ok too :)

>congratulation on your team sucking and not winning the World Cup.

My country's team didn't even qualify lol, I don't really mind. Just watching Argentina this year was embarrassing for the sport, the histrionics and diving, they have no shame. I think at the start they thought 'ok we'll try to play clean', then lost to Saudi so it was back to the ol' get one goal in and then disrupt play as much as possible, fall down at every possible instance and Leandro Paredes deliberately booting it after a foul right into the subs in the Netherlands match, shameful. They don't know the meaning of the word sportsmanship.

How is it so much more than a sport? I just see it as a bunch of dudes trying to put a ball in a fence. Or like American football a bunch of dudes trying to put a ball past the line and I see people losing their minds over it or trashing their own cities or like my father-in-law becoming angry at his own family because "his team lost". Yes I see a bunch of people celebrating and being happy over it and getting drunk or whatever but I don't get why that is.
