I don't see anyone taking Hossa's contract, there's just too many years left. And at $5.2mil for a guy that scores 30 and finishes top 5 in the Selke is a fucking bargain in today's NHL.

As a Kings fan I was stoked to read this. Im hoping we have at least 5 more years of "me not being able to watch the TV because its too intense" playoffs ahead of us.

I guess I stand corrected, however, I suppose when we're talking about FIFA, nothing should surprise me. The NBA has no such rule. Neither does the MLB or NFL or NHL.

No, he's not really missing the point. Also, Nick Miller = Awesome.

Except that's it's not a 'Men's World Cup.' There's no rule keeping women out of the World Cup. They just aren't good enough.

Since the german womans football team (which I'm a massive fan of) gets destroyed by our male youth teams I'd guess it will be a fairly sad game.

This isn't sexism.

"That doesn't mean he is our best all-time player- that accolade goes to a woman."

93 stars and counting

If you believe that the Williams sisters, at any point in their careers, could win anything more than 1% of the time against any male in the top 200, you are seriously misguided. This reminds me of the "Alabama could beat the Jaguars" type stuff, or previously "the Hurricanes could beat the Bengals" in the early…

Your point about #1 men's/women's player versus #1 player brings up an interesting point. From a statistical standpoint we could determine and state who is or isn't the "best" player in a given sport in the U.S., difficulty of the competition in their respective leagues not-withstanding. However, if we were to take…

Your comment is actually a perfect response. People like you that care that I left the apostrophe out of women's sports also care that the word men's isn't constantly used during the men's world cup despite the obvious context. You're what I call a nonsense person. You're inefficient and useless to society. People…

Because the only time he's called that is during the Men's World Cup. It's basic context. If he was brought up during the Women's World Cup they would use the men's qualifier. It's just basic speech and leaving off unnecessary qualifiers. During the men's world cup do you seriously expect them to incorporate…

I would expect this kind of idiotic comment from "cincyeaglefan"

lol. Cause when people say Landon Donovan is the "all-time U.S. leading goal scorer" that doesn't create direct comparison in the first place? The comparison is already there in the way people talk about sports. The author is arguing for factual accuracy and that's it.

You're wrong. That's what the author wanted to be able to say "that's all I was trying to say" in case of controversy but the first and last paragraphs are very clear. She wants direct comparison of achievements and I've just given you an example of why that's absurd. If two sports achievements are not made in…

Elsewhere than the comment section to the article?

It's also called the "World Cup" despite the fact that "world cup" is the name given to the international championship of almost every sport in the world, not just soccer. I don't see you getting butthurt about people failing to use the formal "FIFA World Cup" to distinguish it from the FIBA World Cup or the IAAF…

Couldn't overlook the fact that the author thinks PK's count towards career goal-scoring totals. Impossible to take article seriously after that.

Because the Williams sisters once said they could beat any man ranked below 200 and then lost to the 203rd ranked man on the same afternoon 6-2, 6-1. This kind of shit article is actually what ruins womens sports. My friends and I watch the womens World Cup with the exact same fervor and support as the mens. When…
