FIFA World Cup: 150-foot tall soccer mural completed in Dallas

After coming back from a trip overseas, I have received reverse culture shock. This is the perfect encapsulation of what Dallas “culture” is. I don’t know if the overabundance of great food options is enough at this point

Is capitalism Dallas culture?

Yes. Yes, it is!

Even if you don’t love it, I think it’s still better than the blank wall that was there before. The city can always benefit from more public art. I’m upset with the FIFA committee about the whale wall too, but I’m not upset about this one.

What’s the difference between art and an ad? Is anything better than nothing, even if it’s an ad? The world cup committee doesn’t know.

Does this mural have any meaning after the games are played?

Idk man what’s the meaning of the giant eyeball in downtown? I’d rather look at that than nothing is my point

So will the murals just stay up when FIFA leaves, like some abandoned-World’s Fair-dystopian hellscape and our grandchildren ask us why there’s a painting of people playing soccer? (Who am I kidding, I suppose they’ll tear the building down or paint it over)

Fuck this new world we live in. We literally have no say about anything anymore.
