You got screwed in the playoffs.  Congratulations, you’re officially an NHL franchise.

Conservative humor is without question the worst humor.

YES! Gives you the bundles by Today, Yesterday, etc. I missed that for sure.

I have defended MLS on some levels over the years, and yes, Billy’s takes on American soccer are usually trash. On the one hand, he hates MLS because the quality isn’t Barcelona. On the other hand, he hates rich guys, who start soccer teams. On the OTHER other hand, he apparently has no recollection of the “good ol’…

If you knew a single thing about American soccer you’d know how unready the USL is for pro/rel. This is just eurosnob puffery. 

If you are going to write article upon article criticizing it, then I do think you should be required to actually have some factual knowledge on the subject.

Concerned about maintaining a passionate fan base in a city or region with little to no professional soccer history?

This would require Billy to have even a rudimentary knowledge of American soccer.

“Concerned about maintaining a passionate fan base in a city or region with little to no professional soccer history?”

Jesus Christ can Deadspin please find someone else to talk about MLS? Someone who acknowledges the domestic league doesn’t have a 100 year headstart? Someone who has the self-awareness to recognize whining about rich people starting teams in MLS while pumping up the euro leagues is a trash take? Sorry the MLS isn’t…

Wow!  Thank you.  Thank you for making my day with what will definitely be the dumbest thing I come across today.  It’s entertaining whether you actually believe that or not.  I’m hoping not.

Literally right here in the comment section, some wanker is arguing that she should be arrested for assault.

You wouldn’t have the grounds. Any type of sexual contact OR behavior (doesn’t have to involve contact) that occurs without the explicit consent of the recipient is considered sexual assault. She had the right to defend herself.

Somewhere, there’s an incel form claiming the masturbator is the real victim. 

Beating elicits beating.

It is time we stop singing any patriotic songs at sports games. No other country sings their national anthem before every single (non-international) sporting event no matter how inconsequential. God Bless America during the 7th inning stretch just plain sucks.  

It’s also time to change the name because the whole “Oh my god I love this food item so much it’s just like crack!” thing is played way the hell out.

If it takes 7 minutes to determine that Hiirikoski didn’t make enough of an effort to avoid contact, then it was a goal and Finland got screwed.

There are ways to void certain contract terms, especially if the contracts are viewed as contracts of adhesion. Not sure that would work here, but if the terms are particularly onerous, violate state or federal law, or are in total contravention to the public good (“public” here meaning anyone who might possibly enter…
