People have this dumb, lizard brain need to circle the wagons if they feel like “outsiders” are attacking one of their own. It leads to large groups of people making incredibly stubborn and ridiculous decisions that can appear baffling to everyone else not in the group.

A lot of us said dumb things, but how many of us said blatantly racist or homophobic things?

I don’t think people realize how conservative and racist most of Wisconsin is. People saw the protests at Madison, but remember the state voted for Walker. They voted for Paul Ryan. They voted for Ron Johnson.

I bet a lot of them have opinions about PC culture.

I gave him a star, but really only because it makes you angry.

Reaching for what? This article isn’t really anti-Hader. In fact it’s explicitly neutral on Hader himself.

The looks on some of their faces and the intensity in which they clapped, suggests to me that, at least in the case of the handful of fans I looked at, they were proud of him for saying racist shit and being “one of them.”

Most Brewers’ game attendees are from nearby Waukesha County. A hyper conservative, nearly all white, exurban dump also referred to as Walkersha County for it’s endless support of Scott Walker.

Probably Brewers fans were just drunk

As someone who doesnt care about cycling at all, that might actually get me to tune it for a moment.

He doesn’t have control of transfers. Micheal Edwards does....and he hasn’t put a foot wrong recently. Salah, Ox, Andy Robbo, VVD, selling Countinho all excellent moves.

Keep in mind that it’s not that 75M is outrageous for a goalkeeper given prices at other positions, it’s that goalkeepers are so valuable that the teams that have ones that good generally make them completely unavailable for sale. Buffon five years ago or Donnarumma now or Courtois or ter Stegen or Neuer would…

Maybe, maybe not, but when he keeps making egregious howlers in training and in friendlies against lower-division teams months after that, his position as the starter quickly becomes untenable. It’s not like he was particularly stellar in the rest of the Champions’ League either.

It’s interesting to see Klopp do a 180 from his “I wouldn’t spend big even if I had the money” philosophy. I think that CL loss to Madrid finally broke him. He’s 1-6 in cup finals and has never paid more than pennies for a goalkeeper. Now he buys the most expensive one in history 6 months after doing the same for a…

Even before that game, he was unreliable, and was barely winning the competition for starting 11 against Mignolet.  

Is it wrong of me to get nervous any time I see a South American with a German-sounding name?

Except she then the went on the 700 Club, which is a definite right wing spectacle of fuckery.

Playing martyr on the 700 Club falls into the category of turning this into a right wing spectacle of outrage and grievance politics.
