What I have noticed is that soccer tends to act as a lens for the surrounding social issues, for good or ill. Unfortunately, because there is no perfect, unblemished society on the planet, those ugly parts almost always end up being magnified by soccer. The argument, though, could also be that it's not soccer…

Look, whether they are or aren't specifically racist, the people using racist taunts are in fact horrible people. I don't think labeling them as trolls makes them any better, and in the meantime, they act as a smear on the sport's reputation. UEFA and the Russian FA need to stamp it out, because no matter the…

While it's sad that athletics have been gutted, long-term, I would rather athletics be cut than academics.

This isn't a good draw, either:

This from the team that counts Ozzie "Backflips" Smith among its club legends.

I'm interested in the improvements over the course of the console cycle as developers learned to harness the power of the platforms.

I think it makes sense to leave the PC out of this conversation, as the PC platform exists in a state of constant incremental improvement year-over-year. Let me put it this way: an XBox 360 or PS3 purchased in 2006 will play all the same games at identical performance levels as one purchased in 2013, whereas a PC that…

Actually, Apple has an enterprise solutions system that is intended to provide complete device control, which it sounds like the school district neglected to set up properly.

From the Obafemi Martins school of goal celebrations.

To be fair, Chris Bosh is the superior French Horn player.

You can quibble about any of the others, but The Two Escobars is undoubtedly the best. It's riveting, heart-breaking, and brutally honest.

Is it just me, or does Sherman lose a shoe at the beginning of his run? Did he just run 50+ yards for a touch down with only one shoe on? Unreal.

BEANING ME WON'T BRING BACK YOUR GODDAMNED HONEY!

Apparently, Oduro has an endorsement deal with area Papa John's franchises, so it makes sense. I'm not kidding about this.

They have created a monster which will devour us all. WHAT DOES THE SECURITY COUNCIL SAY ABOUT THIS, PUTIN!?!?

And that, dear children, is how you get pink eye, or conjunctivitis, as it is properly known.

Stupid, yes. Villainous? No. Pretty much all of the world leaders who got involved were in the stupid category.

Yeah, I don't see a major studio taking a risk on that kind of project.
