One thing I always wonder when people put quotes around “soccer,” you know this is not an American invention (the term), right? It’s an English abbreviation for association football. It's adopted in many former colonies. Always bothers me that people act as though it's a silly American thing.

I hope that all those who were arrested spill their guts on everything that Blatter did. All kidding aside, he is a truly evil man. He simply does not care about the slave labor in Qatar.

Michael Garcia, a former US attorney, spent two years of his time compiling a report on the bid at FIFAs behest, which they then buried. I’m assuming it all started there

We can celebrate one shitty thing being addressed without losing sight of the other shitty things that still need addressing. It’s not all or nothing.

Nothing would seal this like FIFA cutting off the large potential growth market cum nose that is the USA just to spite its bloated, bribery-and-slavery-pustule ridden face

If you aren’t hosting a world cup or olympics, you’re doing something right.

Thanks, Obama.

There were news items hitting my Facebook wall that the manager was fired, and the game had ended 10 minutes prior. Consider this: for a news item to post to FB, it has to be posted first to the respective news outlet’s website/blog. That item gets posted once a staffer sees the tweet from the Marlins. The FB ‘bot’,…

Santangelo played for the Expos before Loria bought them, ran them into the ground, then somehow made the MLB give him another franchise. Probably not a lot of respect.

This is news? A dude grabs a chick's boob and it makes deadspin? I had a dollar for every time my wife slapped my hands off her books I'd be a rich man

Isiah Thomas was at the Mets game?

I think what is happening here after careful review:

Posted this on a friend’s page. Small talk immediately before today’s Nats game on CSN. Bob is the straight man, FP Santangelo the color commentator:

I never knew that Mets Knicks front office personnel got to sit in the expensive seats.

If she doesn't want to be groped why does she have those big tits?

I totally agree and I think that this the elephant in the room regarding these two. I think from Rose’s perspective he felt a little betrayed initially in Webber leaving early, add the timeout, the privilege, the adulation Webber always had versus the early image of Rose, and lastly the Martin situation and you have…

For real? Chris Webber is one of the best young analysts in the game. In games he calls, he provides terrific insight. Rose has just gotten a big head over the past few from being on the Mothership so much...

Queens never had a huge black population compared to the older boroughs. Queens really only had a population boom during the post war period and is home to some of the first middle class and upper middle class Black neighborhoods in America like StAlbans and Hollis in Eastern Queens. These areas are still heavily…

This is EXACTLY how my History of the Civil Rights Movement professor explained the difference between Northern and Southern racism.

There’s an old saying that the Southern man doesn’t care how close the black man gets as long as he doesn’t get too big, while the Northern man doesn’t care how big the black man gets as long as he doesn’t get too close. So black mayor, WGAF, black tenants in the building, WE’RE FUCKING MOVING NOW EDITH.
