  • Not at all, many fans, including influencers from Muslim background actually use it to describe anti-football tactics on social media. It is even officially defined on wikipedia

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-football

    People have been calling Mikel Arteta “Artetanyahu” for doing warcrime against the beautiful game, playing defensive haramball with 4 centrebacks and 3 defensive mids, nicking goals through corners. Milos Kerkez the Liverpool left-back got subbed off at minute 38th last week because he played horribly and people been calling him “Charlie Kerkez” because he “died.” Kids these days are brutal.


  • As described, Real mainly during Jose Mourinho era, but also 2014-2018 invented haramball. All that offensive talent in the squad and they play defensive, dirty football to scam counter attack or set piece goal. Prime example was the UCL final against Liverpool in 2018, they injured Liverpool’s best player Mo Salah by judo slamming him into the ground, dislocating his shoulder, concussing Liverpool’s goalkeeper, and won 3-1. In the run up they had several controversial ref decisions going for them as well.




























  • There’s a bit of truth to that in low level journals, because these days there are so many journals, so many predatory publications preying on the need to publish and pad out CV’s in academia that there are large volumes of publications from especially from countries like China, India and Korea that are quantity over quality. These days it is hard to find a qualified peer reviewer because the system is truly busted and academic peer reviewer is wasting their precious time while not getting compensated. And this is not to say the same behavior is not rewarded in western academia, Asian academics just have more hustle in them to prove themselves.

    But in the example above, this excuse is pure cope. Nature is the highest impact factor journal with one of the strictest peer review. Many old and crusty western academics, as well as eager and overly critical young postdocs are eager to tear apart papers submitted to Nature, if anything just to also virtue signal to the editors that they are smart and critical scientists so that next time they submit their papers to nNature the editor will cut them some slack. Publishing in Nature is definition of publishing high impact high quality work.
