If the Dutch can fail to qualify for an expanded Euro, if Mexico can be at the mercy of a Zusi stoppage time goal, the US can certainly fail to qualify for the WC out of CONCACAF. As much as it would suck for fans, I’m not sure it would be a bad thing in the long run, provided US Soccer learns from it.
Your heart is in the right place, but this is factually incorrect. Walker (and the Legislature) stuck it every public employee union except police and firefighters. While this was tough to swallow for many of the anti-labor purists who wanted no exemptions, it was also a cynical political move that betrayed what Act…
I don’t remember who wrote that line, but I read it earlier somewhere. As might be expected, Beck stole the line and never attributed it to its author.
Overarching rates don’t matter if you individually feel like things aren’t getting better. You can even have a job and feel like things aren’t getting better if your new job is a step down from the one you lost.
You’re both right, because you’re talking about different things. Fuel is a huge cost to the shipper and drives its economics, but ocean-going shipping costs as a portion of the consumer’s retail prices are tiny to virtually zero for almost any good that can be shipped in bulk or containers. It’s how I can eat apples…
The NCAA is also afraid of exactly how outside “jobs” have always been used by boosters to bypass rules on payment of athletes - No show “jobs” that pay 6 figures. Same reason you aren’t allowed to sell your likeness. The auto dealer will pay each player on the hoops team $10,000 for an autograph. (A variation on…
I wonder if there would be a more pronounced debate on language here if Trump had been caught using the nuclear-option racial slur? Very few in the press would throw that word around in print as they have with the vulgarity and crudeness of the current situation.
“The father had recently been picked up by the police in Butte, Mont., where he and his wife had holed up in an R.V. with more than $100,000 in cash, both clearly suffering from dementia. Returned home, he was now living in a memory-care ward — but his restless energy meant that he was constantly trying to escape by…
Which is exactly my point, and is the only reasonable conclusion to the argument US Soccer was making to defend their position. Which is why it’s completely fair to argue the point: It takes you 180 degrees from where US Soccer said it does.
I disagree, and it seems the point IS lost on you. It’s not enough to just say “we’re right and US Soccer is wrong” if you want to show people who do believe that Rapinoe’s protest is OK in one context and not the other why and how they’re missing the point.
On the short list of the least discussed/referenced great films in history.
It’s so obvious that it’s lost on many.
The best thing about this thread is that you and I are basically in agreement about this issue despite your initial reply which assumes we are not, and yet people on the opposite side of the issue have replied favorably to both our posts.
I don’t think the qualitative difference resides in who is watching. It resides in her determination to continue with the gesture regardless of the fact that she’s doing it while wearing the US kit.
Belated thanks for getting it.
It’s fair to argue if there is a qualitative difference.
Promoted for missing the point as badly as US Soccer.
Yes, there is, and it cuts either way depending on where you stand on the protest to begin with.
