Savagery Around The World Celebrated In World Cup Chants. Heroism Gets Shamed

Throughout the World Cup, two cultures infamous for their savagery have been celebrated by fans across the world, but a chant honoring the heroism of an important World War II battle is getting… shamed out of existence?

Mexico’s national soccer team was recently eliminated by England on Sunday, but their team and fanbase have always leaned heavily into the country’s Aztec past. The home stadium in Mexico City is named the “Azteca,” while the Mexican jerseys feature elaborate Aztec patterns.

Norway has moved on to the quarterfinals, which means we can expect more plastic Viking horn helmets and rowing celebrations.

Mexico name their stadium Azteca and have Aztec patterns on their kits, celebrating a civilisation of mass human sacrifices and ritual cannibalism.

Norway wear Viking horns and have rowing celebration commemorating the savage rape, pillage and conquests by their forefathers.…

What do Viking and Aztec cultures have in common? Well, they were both absolute savages. The Aztec civilization infamously committed human sacrifices and acts of cannibalism, while the Vikings raped and pillaged during raids in the British Isles and Northern Europe.

Meanwhile, the English soccer chant “Ten German Bombers,” about the Battle of Britain during World War II, is often deemed inappropriate because it glorifies violence.

Viking barbarians and human sacrifices are okay, but celebrating the defeat of the Nazis is bad?

Of course, honoring Aztec and Viking culture is all in good fun and a great way for people to connect with and discover history. But there’s no reason English fans should not be allowed to openly chant about the British Air Force shooting down Nazi planes. That is truly epic and inspiring, and it should be celebrated as such.
