Alex Morgan didn’t exactly cover herself in glory, whatever the stats say... and seems undroppable because of her marketing status. Is that the elephant in the (locker) room?

I’m not typically one to cast aspersions on people I don’t know, but if Dan Dakich’s family member is dealing with chronic work-related injuries, has earned $100 million in the last seven years, and has a degree in architectural design from Stanford, then he’s an idiot for continuing to show up every day at the steel…

I don’t care what industry, I love whenever a worker sticks it to his employer.

With an NFL- promoted soundtrack of shitty country music for a league that is 80% African American. 

Is there any other sport like American football where the fans and pundits feel like the players owe them something? And said fans/pundit industry feel they have a divine right to dictate behavioral standards to the players?

The fact that the NFL has made itself into a weekly orgy of vaguely fashy American nationalism can only hurt the popularity of the sport outside the US.
