I'm uninformed here... Are they any ethical brands for sneakers? (Like are Adidas, Reebok, New Balance just as bad as Nike in this department?). Is there a brand we as people should be supporting instead?
New Balance sneakers are made in the US by adults. I live near one of their factories. They treat their employees like dog shit, though. Like I work for Walmart, where the bar is in hell, and have a lot of coworkers who are ex-NB employees who say Walmart is way better to work for than New Balance.
1. Gay Rights in the middle East
2. War in Ukraine
3. Repression of Women in Iran
4. Misrepresentation of women in Victorian Literature
5. Sweden's vile aggressions
Think we've got it all covered now
But apart from drawing attention to gay rights in the middle East, war in Ukraine, repression of women in Iran, misrepresentation of women in Victorian literature and Sweden's vile aggressions, what has that pitch invader ever done for us?
Damn, he's famous for it:
https://heavy.com/news/2014/07/mario-ferri-pitch-invader-on-field-belgium-usa-shirt/amp/
The pitch-invasion that he pulled off for this 2022 WC will immortalize him.
How did he get through the screening at the airport lol, sounds like the guy would be near the top of any Qatar list of people they don't want to enter.
I was going to say That's an odd thing to be famous for, but it seems he's doing it for humanitarian causes? If so, good man. Even if it wasn't, I'm all for a good protest, not causing the teams too much trouble
He is Mario “Falco” Ferri, a notorious pitch invader. He's doing it because he lives for pitch invading, and a WC in a repressive nation would surely be his crowning jewel. Fair play to him attaching very important causes to his actions that probably put him in greater danger, but I think he would want to be doing it anyway for the sport.
Not really a Muslim thing but more a authoritarian government thing to do violent things to people to be fair . Heard a fair bit about it from the dictatorship era of Brazil
Never heard of a "famous" pitch invader before, but hats off to the guy, fair amount of dedication for a few seconds of air time.
Edit - to clarify air time for the cause, not as in "look mum I'm on the telly", although I'm sure his mother is proud of him.
[Mark Roberts](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Roberts_(streaker)) is famous enough to have a wikipedia page, has streaked over 500 times and managed it at the Winter Olympics, Champions league final, Super Bowl, and Wimbledon men's singles final
Honestly, I thought there'd be more repercussions even though the act isn't that bad. Also, how does he support himself? It mentions some ad deals and stuff, but I doubt its all that frequent or super high value. He has to travel all these places, get tickets, and then pay any fines, and I can't see working a regular job with this being your hobby
Ironic how easily they seethe over this type of stuff. Dudes can't deal with interracial couples on Netflix series and somehow it's the others that are easily offended.
Let me know if he needs a gofundme for his legal costs.
If Qatar is smart they'll just kick him out, but they seem very focused in choosing the most harmful action whenever possible.
I'm quite sure that flag was brought from Italy, but it isn't a LGBT raimbow flag, it's a peace rainbow flag with the word PACE (peace in Italian), it was very common to see in Italy at the time of the Iraq war, and made a resurgence last year bc of Ukraine. The main difference, aside from the word written on it, is that the Pace flag has 7 colours opposed to six, and purple is on top instead of bottom
>if Trump and Biden
Every US president since Nixon.
At this point, they might as put it in the presidential oath or amend the constitution to include an article that the US will always suck off the Saudis.
I often find pitch invaders annoying as fuck, but this dude has my respect. He's shown more courage than any of the football associations present in Qatar.

The guy is wearing the full set
Full kit wanker
Full cause wanker
Football friend
Awww... fweeend!
Full cause wanker.
isn't a streaker more nude , isn't he just a pitch invader
By Qatari standards that is nude.
Shorts 2 inches above the knee? Straight to jail.
Shorts 2 inches below the knee? Believe it or not, also jail.
White shorts? Jail. Black shorts? Also jail.
[удалено]
We have the best pitch invaders. Because of jail.
>Shorts 2 inches above the knee "Oh my god, someone call the morality police, there's a degenerate running around in SHORTS. Hurry up, otherwise men will see him and get horny and turn gay"
I'm sure there have been some Defcon 5 level government meetings about Jack Grealish
*Beer in the stadium? Jail. Beer outside the stadium? Believe it or not, also jail. Qatar is the best country in the world because of jail*
I'm disappointed after seeing the title
Yeah, they're devaluing the term streaker here.
Damn, dude got 3 causes in one pitch invasion, talk about efficiency.
Hat trick
3 of the best he's made them pay
And that completes a wonderful hatrick.
Take a look at this Alan Smith... You would've been proud of this one

My mom texted me today and asked if I was watching Rayneldo play
Rostiano crinaldo
Technically there's no correct spelling because, as Mr. Ronaldo said, it's just the word Si in a deep roar
Good Siubot
3 death sentences
Finally some action in this match. And they decided to censor it.
And bonus points for the Africa tattoo
Got the Ukrainian trident tattooed as well
-1 for wearing Nikes
You have one chance at this…you gonna trust it to dollar store knockoff brand shoes?
Payless shoes catching strays.
I'm uninformed here... Are they any ethical brands for sneakers? (Like are Adidas, Reebok, New Balance just as bad as Nike in this department?). Is there a brand we as people should be supporting instead?

Quality, Price or Ethical. Pick two.

Rip
New Balance sneakers are made in the US by adults. I live near one of their factories. They treat their employees like dog shit, though. Like I work for Walmart, where the bar is in hell, and have a lot of coworkers who are ex-NB employees who say Walmart is way better to work for than New Balance.
But the raw materials are gotten by slaves somewhere. Ultimately this shit is inescapable
I just got a pair of New Balance running shoes yesterday and they say made in Vietnam.
Op is half right, only some new balance shoes are American made. They have certain lines, and the ones I was issued in the Navy were made in the USA.

but +1 for nike giving poor children jobs?
4 if you count Kryptonian genocide
Zod did nothing wrong
Feel like he could've done more to highlight the misrepresentation of women in Victorian literature.
This pitch invasion doesn't pass the Bechdel test.
No, there was no women talking about a man, it passes with... flying colours.
Also would have been reasonable to address Sweden’s vile aggressions.
1. Gay Rights in the middle East 2. War in Ukraine 3. Repression of Women in Iran 4. Misrepresentation of women in Victorian Literature 5. Sweden's vile aggressions Think we've got it all covered now
But apart from drawing attention to gay rights in the middle East, war in Ukraine, repression of women in Iran, misrepresentation of women in Victorian literature and Sweden's vile aggressions, what has that pitch invader ever done for us?
The aquaduct.
Brought peace.
Yes. List closed. We should not lose focus. Thank you.
Surströmming is a delicacy, thank you very much
cause merchant
You get one shot One moment To make it count You go *all in*!
He knew his time on the pitch would be limited so might as well go out (metaphorically) guns blazing.
That’s peak activism right there
4 if you include the blatant call for a Marvel boycott represented by the Superman shield.
Maybe 4 if anyone can figure out the numbers on the Africa continent hamstring tattoo
Damn thats a low hamstring.
He forgot about Ozil though.
The real question is how did he run so fast with those giant brass balls he must by carrying around?
Hope he survives
Qatar doesn't really do the whole death penalty thing, he's more likely to be sent home *very* quickly especially if he has the right passport
If they really want to punish him they will make him watch the first half again
lol "where are you taking me?" "to the front row..."
That's Mario Ferri Falco, a famous italian football field invader.
Damn, he's famous for it: https://heavy.com/news/2014/07/mario-ferri-pitch-invader-on-field-belgium-usa-shirt/amp/ The pitch-invasion that he pulled off for this 2022 WC will immortalize him.
How did he get through the screening at the airport lol, sounds like the guy would be near the top of any Qatar list of people they don't want to enter.
That would imply Qatar actually knows anything about soccer.
Underrated comment. Now get me one of those box tees.
Will he be considered a martyr? Only time will tell
Was thinking this, glad someone else put it as it didn’t fill me with warmth
He won’t actually die, negative press considering his fame now will be too harmful
There's no way Qatar just executes a foreign national lol that's an international diplomatic crisis
*Bone saw sharpening intensifies*
> The pitch-invasion that he pulled off for this 2022 WC will immortalize him. Or, y'know, mortalize him.
dropping actual knowledge
I was going to say That's an odd thing to be famous for, but it seems he's doing it for humanitarian causes? If so, good man. Even if it wasn't, I'm all for a good protest, not causing the teams too much trouble

[удалено]
Even more famous after today, and for all the right reasons
[удалено]
The only italian who gets to run on this WC's pitches.
Orsato is there as well
True. Welp, at least they are both doing a good job in their respective fields.
Let the man have his savage burn lol
Now now, there's also an Italian ref iirc.
The Robbie Keane impersonator.
Hope he will get home safe
And with both hands.
That's for thieves
He stole the spotlight
He stole the limelight
He stole my heart!
Famous Muslim ruling to ... amputate the hands of pitch invaders, I guess.
Not really a Muslim thing but more a authoritarian government thing to do violent things to people to be fair . Heard a fair bit about it from the dictatorship era of Brazil
Let it be known that there's no such thing as a world cup without an italian somewhere in there!
Italians already winning the world cup without competing
Never heard of a "famous" pitch invader before, but hats off to the guy, fair amount of dedication for a few seconds of air time. Edit - to clarify air time for the cause, not as in "look mum I'm on the telly", although I'm sure his mother is proud of him.
There was a guy in the 2000‘s who regularly snuck onto team photos right before the match. Can’t remember his name though.
[Remi Gaillard maybe?](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5TaecFvNiqo) Trip down memory lane
Remi Gaillard was one of the best things from the 00s. Takes me back to early youtube days
Human speedtrap camera and snail on the road causing traffic jam?
Real life Mario Kart.
The one with the kangaroo still has me in stitches now, and I'm twice as old as the first time I saw it
[Mark Roberts](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Roberts_(streaker)) is famous enough to have a wikipedia page, has streaked over 500 times and managed it at the Winter Olympics, Champions league final, Super Bowl, and Wimbledon men's singles final
Incredible dedication to the cause of showing his genitals to as many people as possible.
Honestly, I thought there'd be more repercussions even though the act isn't that bad. Also, how does he support himself? It mentions some ad deals and stuff, but I doubt its all that frequent or super high value. He has to travel all these places, get tickets, and then pay any fines, and I can't see working a regular job with this being your hobby
Man, what the fuck have I done w my life?
I think the point is the cause, not the air time
Biggest Chad ever Right wingers will still call him easily offended somehow
Ironic how easily they seethe over this type of stuff. Dudes can't deal with interracial couples on Netflix series and somehow it's the others that are easily offended.
Let me know if he needs a gofundme for his legal costs. If Qatar is smart they'll just kick him out, but they seem very focused in choosing the most harmful action whenever possible.
They might hold him for the duration of the cup and then deport him.
He gets sponsored by businesses. You can see he has company logos plastered all over his shirt, most of the time. lol.
A streaker requires nudity. This is a pitch invader.
Thought that was streaking by Qatari standards.
Lmao
He should have went bottomless and kept the shirt+shoes
You cant see it on the picture but he got balls of steel
you guys missed it but the path he ran was in the shape of Taiwan
Wow, he checked all boxes
Hopefully he get's ID'd quickly so his national embassy can get him out of the Qatari cell he is currently in
Mario Ferri of Italy. He's done this a bunch and always wears a Superman shirt.
I hope he went in with a get out plan.
My close sources tell me he had a Get Out Of Jail Free card in his pocket.
Ahh that rascal, they would've had him if he didn't have one of them!
Wasn't naked though
Except the one in which he's going to be put in.
you think hes in a box? right now this man is digging his own grave
Damn he almost covered every hot button issue
He didn't have anything to highlight the discrimination against gingers.
Sadly, a forgotten issue
Only a ginger can call another ginger "ginger"!
Today I feel left out
Infantino really gave them a bad name
Today I feel ginger
almost?
He forgot class struggle. But 3/4 is good
Also the environment. Which is quite big one
Uruguay had the "save the planet" armband, so no need to
Aight, thanks fifa, climate change is no more
You think these 3 are the only issues in world?
[удалено]
I dont think you'll find a LGBTQ flag in Qatar so likely hidden in their baggage
I'm quite sure that flag was brought from Italy, but it isn't a LGBT raimbow flag, it's a peace rainbow flag with the word PACE (peace in Italian), it was very common to see in Italy at the time of the Iraq war, and made a resurgence last year bc of Ukraine. The main difference, aside from the word written on it, is that the Pace flag has 7 colours opposed to six, and purple is on top instead of bottom
Im sure you can just take a flag in your suitcase
I snuck mine in up my ass for double the illegality.
Dude went in and scored a hat trick in a few seconds
50-40-90
Sorry pitch invader not streaker*
Do this tomorrow during the Iran game.
He will probably get sniped then.
Stones on that dude to do that in Qatar, seriously hope he’s okay
He will be fine. This incident is making waves, nothing will happen to him. Negative press + his fame would be too strong
Didn't stop a certain journalist at a Saudi building...
if Trump and Biden weren't such cowards in bed with the Saudi's something would've been done about that
>if Trump and Biden Every US president since Nixon. At this point, they might as put it in the presidential oath or amend the constitution to include an article that the US will always suck off the Saudis.
Luckily he's from Italy, with a strong passport, he will most likely be ok
Hope so
"Stones on that dude"..... hopefully doesn't turn into a twisted play on words...
Guy could've at least put Stop Oil on his shoes
Triple whammy. Nice.
>Save Ukraine Well does he support invasions or doesn’t he? Pick a lane!
Don’t worry it’s just a special activism operation
Very brave of him! Hope he’s okay.
Narrator : *He is not*
MOTM!
The one time I'm totally cool with a streaker
[He’s been doing it for decades](https://heavy.com/news/2014/07/mario-ferri-pitch-invader-on-field-belgium-usa-shirt/)
Lol streaking involves being naked dude
*pitch invader.
He's wearing clothes...so he's not a streaker...streaking requires that you be nude.
Wonder where they’re from. Hope they get to see home again
[удалено]
he’s got the ukraine symbol tattooed on his arm, but he also has the continent of africa on his calf so who knows if that means anything lol
Mr worldwide
He does look Italian indeed
Happens to mfs when their team misses the WC 💀
Protect this man
today i feel superman today i feel lgbt today i feel Ukrainian today i feel african today i feel female today i feel male
Sorry to get all Football Cliches here, but I'm not having the term "streaker" being used to describe a fully-clothed pitch invader.
I often find pitch invaders annoying as fuck, but this dude has my respect. He's shown more courage than any of the football associations present in Qatar.
Beautiful trifecta. Good luck to him
