Her brother was named to the chair of a mine in a foreign country. Okay. How is that related to fucking hurricane relief of an already devastated US island?

No way that little shit held a flag in his fucking life. Flagging in Montana in the summer is insanely unpleasant.

Because I’m a dick. Welcome to Deadspin for the first time.

Lucky for the NHL, I wasn’t going to watch it anyway. Along with most of the rest of America.

+1 God dammit he beat me to it!

Is that a Melancholia reference in the fourth picture from the bottom? Deep cut.

If we’re going to post a bunch of Rise Against, we might as well post the best:

The install base 10 years ago was also smaller than it is today, you have more customers buying more games and game-related stuff. And let’s be honest, for a lot of people that game doesn’t cost $60, it costs as much as $150 for some special edition or another with special DLC or figurines or something. Given that…

Honestly, the more I think about it, the more I think Precourt is looking to move and sell. The Crew, or whatever they fucking call themselves soon, are much more valuable in a growing city like Austin.

Basically even if we had local TV ratings for Columbus, they’d probably be tainted by Precourt’s shittiness, doing everything he can to make sure the team financially tanks. That said, on the average, TV viewership per game on the national level is slightly above the NHL sitting around half a million people.

The revenue fees argument is old, tired and untrue; even with an expansion fee of $150 million, that comes out to about $6.8 million per team, that barely covers one year of Michael Bradley’s salary in Toronto. The main source of their revenue is almost certainly two things: attendance and Soccer United Marketing aka…

....Seattle is actually colder than most of Europe and even in the summer we tend to be in the mid to low 80's....so your picture is a pretty shitty example of a place that doesn’t need scarves. Also fuck off, who cares if fans wear scarves? Maybe just let fans have fun and quit being a whiner.

an ejection by ushers

Well, them’s the breaks!

Quite frankly, I think is a Seattle Sonics, MLS-style thing. Precourt specifically made sure there was an escape clause in the contract when he bought the Crew that let him move the team; he was always going to move it to a city that was more profitable and populated. Precourt bought the franchise to move it and when…

So, worth noting that apparel, TV rights and all the other bits of “marketing” go through Soccer United Marketing aka SUM. So cut out TV rights, marketing, etc. and you’re basically only left with stadium seats revenue. Blammo! He’s taking a big hit to his pocket book! Never you mind he’s getting that SUM money…

Well, Houston usually doesn’t draw well because they’ve sucked for years; their attendance has gone up thanks to a good season under an exciting offensive team coached by Wilmer Cabrera, imagine that. FC Dallas on the other hand have attendance problems caused by other issues, namely that they don’t actually play in…

Ummmm...as a nerd I feel compelled to point out that Chult is not the only part of Faerun (the setting of the Forgotten Realms) that is primarily filled with black people, there’s also the Shaar.

Depends on what league you want to follow. If you want to follow a league that speaks English and is one of the best in the world, you’ll probably want to go with Stoke. Stoke usually do juuuust enough to stay in the top flight, but generally get their dicks stomped on by most teams in the league. If you want…

They always try to walk it in!
