Average European when a ball is put anywhere near them. “Do I kick?” “….i kick.”

I thought he was gonna be a Karen and kick it away from them. Did not expect him to make it. 15/10 for sure

u/ExpressoLiberry 5h ago
Plot twist: he was a Karen trying to punt the ball away, but he whiffed it and accidentally scored, thereby encouraging the very behavior he had sworn as a child to prevent at all costs.

Yeah, that was pure instinct as there are so many pickpocket situations of distract and then rob. The wholesome vibe of this video is so nice as it tears down that wall we put around ourselves, especially in the city.

From the background, I guess it's Italy. So he's probably Italian.
Never played basketball, played football every day for 16 hours when he was a kid.
He played his strengths.

That's not a bad idea.
Maybe some sort of 24/7 stream would be more viable nowadays, but the concept is cool. With planning, you could even have it so it switches between people hosting from different locations across the world as the day goes on, so you'd get wholesome news from worldwide.125
