Soccer is played by an estimated 240 to 270 million people worldwide on an organized basis. Most of those people have probably never seen how a soccer ball is manufactured.

I’m sure 99.9% are made in factories with automation, not by dudes in socks

Did they just skip a whole ass step? Where was the fukin orange ball thing? Didn’t seem to be part of the process

5 minutes showing the uninteresting part about the inner air bladder, completely skips over how they stitch the whole ball from the inside

These were made for Maradona. You can tell because that one guy sprinkled coke onto the bladders so he would get a bump each time he headed the ball.

Most of them play football though

You know, every time I sit there and think my job is so boring, I’m going to remember and be grateful that I don’t spend all day turning rubber sacks inside out over and over again.
The tedious of this would drive me insane.

I would lose my mind just knowing that I still have a million more of those orange bladders to inflate.

There’s so many videos of Indians working in what appears to be extremely inefficient factories with tons of manual steps and some never any safety gear. It’s just mind boggling that things are still made this way.

Aha! Jokes on you because I have seen this! But I also don’t play football and am chronically online so I guess it makes sense 🫠.

At first it looked like he was making Whoopie Cushions.

I had no idea they require seasoning.

I had a feeling they were made for about 20 cents an hour. I still have that feeling

Why do I feel like this is how one particular company somewhere on Earth makes soccer balls, and not how they are made everywhere?

These videos are so depressing

Okay but they skipped the part where it went from an orange ball to a white patterned ball sewn together.

They are usually not made like this

This makes me sad for the people making these. The conditions look…downtrodden at best

There seems to be entire garden industry of making these videos of dudes in some kind of south Asian country “manufacturing” some kind of consumer good in the most antiquated and unhygienic way possible when anyone with two brain cells to rub together can figure out this rate of production is completely impossible to match the scale of demand

Let’s just stick the big square box in the round hole go fast thing!

2:30 of how the balloon you never see gets made
15 sec that doesnt show how the outer shell gets made, only the last step of sewing the parts together.
??????
Its like showing “how a car is made” 95% of the video is showing how the seats are made then the last 15 seconds are the rest of hte car being assembled.

I assure you most are not made this way
