The problem is that this more or less even league sees a much larger pipeline of talent pumping into Los Angeles and New York than Columbus, New England and Chicago. There are provisions that in theory give every team a fair shot at talent, but with the exceptions put into the system by the MLS you basically have a…

ugh i don't even have anything darkly witty to say. too much darkness and heartache. this is too correct and relevant.

But it's clear that connectivity is the future of American stadiums, especially for football, where teams are desperate to recreate the superior aspects of the home-viewing experience.

We really need to talk about the Arsenal/Tottenham rivalry. Anyone born here in the US tries SO hard to represent their "hate" for the other team and it's such crap. Unless you grew up in England with parents that were fans of one or the other, your "hate" is 100% made up. I am a huge Spurs fan but I can't possibly…

On the one hand, well said. On the other hand, I've been commenting here for four or five years now (and on Gawker, and on io9 and Kotaku for probably the last two years or so). My comments are usually reasonably well-recommended (the middle-of-the-road ones probably get twenty or thirty recommends, I guess?), but I'm…

"I don't need femisin because i like when my men are men, i was FURIOUS when my husband turned out to be a possum"

There are possible solutions/mitigation methods for this issue - putting a waiting period on created burner accounts before they can post images, limiting the number of images that can be posted on a burner account within a certain period of their creation, etc. - but I doubt Denton is willing to do anything that…

I know, if they could master turf to a level that was as satisfactory as grass it would mean good things for smaller clubs across the world, not to mention ones where it's too hot/cold, wet/dry to maintain a good playing surface. But even then I don't think it would be right to play the biggest tournament in a sport…

It will only work if the docs are truly independent and not hired by the teams. I know docs who have been working high school games who have been pressured by coaches and the players own parents to let the kid back in the game and have been told their services would no longer be needed when they refused to bow to that…

Or... you could just leave football/soccer to people who already like it and stop trying to suggest changes to make it more like games that you like.

The addition of speedbumps every hundred yards ought to do it...

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Ugh, the Jackson impersonators alone would be coming in droves worse than Jehovah's Witnesses coming to your door. Which would be kind of ironic, seeing as how Jacko was raised JW, if I remember correctly...

I'm sure he's already erected one to himself (no pun intended).

I often tell my conservative friends that Liberals think of Barack Obama is about as socialist and liberal as President Reagan.

"Republicans quietly tap lobbyists..."

There was one single incident about Israeli soldiers shooting Palestinian football players in the feet. The Palestinians claim they were innocents. The Israeli military claimed they were throwing handheld bombs at officers, shot to incapacitate them, and diffused the additional bombs they had on them, and then they…

Yeah. It shows restraint. No children were shot because they weren't used as human shields this time. See the cycle?

Yeah, guys - it was just a joke!

Can't wait for the clips of him asking men this same question. C'mon turdburger, cough em up.
