Because Lamela was coming from behind Van Dijk. Virgil had position and contacted the ball first. Lamela initiated the contact. Not a penalty, as the ref closest to the action clearly indicated to begin with. It took the AR who can’t even recognize an offsides to decide the penalty.

Our healthcare system is fine, excellent even. Lots of advancements being made every single day in keeping us healthy.

Pizzagate is on par with flat-earthers and anti-vaxxers, it’s one thing if you want to engage in the validity of Keynesian economics vs. Friedman, or why one is conservative vs. liberal, or even if Belichek is a fucking cheater. When you are literally pulling batshit conspiracies out of thin air about the Hillary…

I liked it when America was hated for being powerful and evil. Stupid and evil doesn’t bring the same sense of pride.

I’m so happy H. Chung kicked his ass.

Lukaku left Everton...so that he could challenge himself at the highest levels of the game and hopefully win important trophies

I would love to see your Christianity rankings.

This is a really bad look for Sager, so I guess he really did die as he lived.

Ump: Inside corner, strike three! You’re out!

Fuck Roy Moore.

I’m 33 and my highlights would be the interesting ways my children have vomited, urinated, drooled, sneezed and defecated on me.

By physical appearance, you’d probably assume this chubby keeper playing for PS Sakiet Eddaier in Tunisia’s third division was something like a plumber or a short-order cook at a mid-tier chain restaurant.

some of the best defensive talent in the league continues to waste away, and John Elway is somehow once again looking for salvation in Osweiler’s big, dumb arm. Perhaps there’s a better place for him to look.

most courts would refuse to enforce a non-disclosure agreement to the extent that doing so would prevent someone from reporting a crime

The empty bullpen was a particularly nice touch.

Yeah but on FS1 - which seems like a station that should be airing the first couple of rounds of March Madness Toughman contests and American Athletic Conference football games.

Well, it’s not like FS1 is setting new standards for airing post-season baseball, either. At least TBS had the stones to hire David Lynch to direct their broadcast, and it’s paying dividends in free publicity.

Oh god I so hope this is the opening volley in the labor battle that destroys the NFL

I’m looking at the Spanish government response and thinking it’s completely ridiculous. There was no indication that independence would have been the favored choice and the central government could always deny the legitimacy of the vote anyway. Now the separatists have exactly what they want.
