In beer guy's defense (I think. I've not really delved into this.) His POV is these were racist tweets. I wish I didn't used to think racism was funny/say racist things. I don't feel that way. I apologize.

This was all about money. MLS was trying to move it's appeal more towards the center, but realized the cost of doing so was too much.

I have a bone to pick with your rankings. Thanasis is actually a nickname. Athanasios should be ranked higher.

Only if he was an early adopter, which I can’t see. He probably had a school email address that went away when he graduated.

When I was in a kitchen our head cook swore by traditional American beer (Coors, Bud, Miller, Hamms, Rainer, etc..). Essentially it gave the flavor of beer, but was almost water.

Portland is phenomenally bike friendly. There are “greenways” (Streets designated as bike/pedestrian-first) that make it as easy as possible to commute without a car, yet there are still bicyclist who insist on using the main roads, causing bottlenecks as cars after car tries to pass.

This is NW drivers in general

Because until 1998 both teams were bad. Oregon had his broken a 25ish year bowl drought, and Oregon State was almost done with a 30-year one. That game is the last conference game of the season, so there's not even hope. In 83 they played to a 0-0 tire in the rain.

The Larry Corcoran?!?!

That’s was my first thought. Think about how happy this will make wardrobe people and those looking for B-roll.

I'd be willing to let go too Texas to get the electoral college looking the way I'd want it.

Texas would be one of the 10 largest militaries in the world!

I know a few liberal Texans. They're more Texans than liberal.

It’s the most effective way to win though. It's just not always as fun to watch.

How did Drew not pick Texas? That state already thinks it’s a seperate country, and has the population for a good economy and military.

There’s a significant number of sports fans who be aren’t “traditional” fans, in terms of attitude not background, although the not straight white American male group is overlooked. The entire sports industrial complex (leagues, ESPN, Nike, athletes, etc.. ) has this winning proves greatness attitude.
