Really? Cause I live in Madrid, am a socio, watch all his post-match interviews (and in fact go to every fixture in the Bernabeau), and your reality starkly departs from what I read and watch in both pro-RM and anti-RM media. Please send me links to the interviews you watch or have read.

I wasn’t making flattering comparisons. That was the point. I was drawing attention to that fact. Thanks for paying attention, sort of.

You dont watch many post-match interviews from fútbol superstars, do you?

What Jessup Moot team were you on? You seem smart!

His worldview is his response to a disappointment? Nice extrapolation.

Like Iker Casillas, he’s faithful to where he came from. To an extreme extent. I'm a RM socio, but I will always laud Messi and be happy I get to watch him in person every year. But the hate for Cristiano is bizarre.

I get that! I agree that he can look petulant, but it's not alien to him and everyone else gets a pass. Mou was the biggest douche ever and I, a socio, had to sit through his shit every week wanting to punch his face. And Cristiano was always upset at himself. Not his team. In the moment maybe not, but that's why he's…

Reading your second paragraph was like watching Luka Magnotta murder a dude with an ice pic.

That’s precisely the issue: your impression is based on what? An interview? What precisely had he said? Or is it based on top-down articles approaching anything about him from that perspective? Y’all speak Portuguese?

Go iron your khakis, Mr. Easterbrook.

That’s the trope to which I am referring. Do yourself a favo(u)r and look up Cristiano philanthropy. Hell, set the filter for THIS WEEK. Now tell me he’s a megalomaniac, or look up that word if needed. You don’t hear about the good things he does because he’s precisely the opposite of what you think he is. And he…

I hope the auction works out for the human capital at Gawker.

A girl in my CivPro class answered the professor citing Law & Order. There was an audible groan. Top-ten law school.

All this vacillation is just so taxing.

As an American who lives in a country where handball is respected, it’s not much different. Spaniards are always bragging about their accolades in handball and “padel”. Just like they love to mention that their dubbing is amazing. No shit, there are like ten backward countries that do what you do- you're always…

Tampa-Bay Socialites? That’s a thing? More like “Future Forensic-Files Files.”

I live in Spain, and this is totally unrelated to beer and merely tangential to Lee Roy Selmon’s, but there’s a large home-improvement franchise called “Leroy Merlin” in Spain. Whether alone or with company, I can’t resist imitating hillbilly wizards whenever I go past it.

All that friction inevitably left Butler with a bone to pick.

I went straight to the credits to and find out who wrote the “lyrics” so I could add him to my google terms that are blocked.
