I think I can one up you. I was traveling on a business trip within Europe. I showed up for my 8am flight, without my ID card (we don’t need a passport within EU). Turns out I left it at the gym the previous day. I reschedule my flight to noon and go pick up my ID. Turns out it just expired the day before. So now I…

Well, I would think the American way of doing things is let the better man win and not let a boss (Vince McMahon in this case) decide who wins. Deciding who wins/gets rich by a boss/upper forum is the stuff the 13 colonies rebelled against. This planned economy vibe of pro-wrestling feels like communism to me.

I’ve been trying to form some kind of relationship with/understanding of pro wrestling for about 30 years - hey, even read this article - but I just can’t comprehend what Japanese and Americans like about this fake fighting. Does not compute. Especially for the US. America dominates so many sports, why do you have to…

While I can’t watch the vid - not available in Europe, kinda stupid for a soccer post if you ask me - I take issue with the following:

The NFL’s expanded Thursday slate rubs players the wrong way, and with general viewership declines, many media executives are blaming the Thursday games for the public’s general football fatigue.

Can you imagine No1 Trump Fanboy Tom Brady being backed up by No1 Tump Public Enemy Kaep? The universe would collapse. I wanna see it!

One was in play, the other one was aftet whistle. Big fucking difference, buddy.

I say this as a former player and current coach. All these rules giving QBs special protection are BS. You are either a football player or you can get off the field.

All right. Then I guess I should be listing all the times women have grabbed my ass, talked dirty to me or made any unwanted sexual advance too. I don’t do it, because it’s not a big deal. But if we elimanate all tolerance as you propose and look at it black and white I have been sexually harrased by like a dozen…

Fun fact, USA fans have have been a declining % of NFL fans world wide for a decade. Still over 80%, but declining. If you add to this that Trump who went after the players is pretty much considered a clown internationally, overall this might even help the NFL.

Hm, then what is the difference between kneeling for the Anthem and carrying the flag this way? That the later is actually prohibited?

Sensitive issue, have to start with disclaimers: 1) Read a lot of the reports on Weinstein and his operation and method were absolutely disgusting. 2) When I was 15 a much older women approached me in a way that I believe very much qualifies as sexual harassment. 3) When I was 16 3 senior girls locked me in the trunk…

I only fell for the last two. Feel like a winner. Thank you!

Popular with me. +1

The ideal followup would be all 53 taking a knee next time. You either show unity or get pushed around as individuals. I’d think the players already learned that in the past 20+ years in pro sports.

Seriously, wtf someone’s employer has to do with them being giant douchebags in their private lives?

Wow, had no idea there was still some straight on kicking in the 80's. Turns out Mosley was the last regular kicker to do it.

Had to cut 0.4 kg in an hour for a weight in once. I haven’t had a drink of water for about 12 hours by then I couldn’t even spit, it was though.

It’s hard tho. I didn’t know anything about the guy, just saw a pic of him swinging and my first thought: “that dude is SHORT”.

I coach football. For the past 5 seasons we moved our bench to the opposite side of the home bleachers. This way the visiting team gets most of the noise from the fans, and we don’t have to put up with angry parents. There are still some idiots we hear shouting stupid stuff, but it’s much more tolerable across the…
