The kid is awesome but I appreciate the umpire’s “I’m not gonna take this shit!..... but I won’t embarrass him either..... uhhh... let me brush this.... DONT FUCKING DO THAT AGAIN... okay Play Ball!”

“I wish it were 1825" — official slogan of the Republican Party in 2016

U.S. Soccer is a bunch of hypocrites considering Tim Howard has been blurting out inappropriate things his entire career.

Ball definitely bounced before the goalie kicked it - this has happened before.

I like this, but I’m not going to star it because I don’t know what it is.

Oh please. Garbage take. The US does not SUCK at soccer. Does Mexico suck (obviously not counting their last game)? Of course not. They are both top 25 in the world soccer nations. Are they Argentina class? Of course they are not, but let’s stop with the nonsense.

That’s not how hockey works at all!

This somewhat goes along with the commentators - I agree that they did a pretty solid job - but was anyone else annoyed/frustrated with the television production? How many times did they have lingering slow-mo shots at Klinsmann or the ref or a relatively meaningless action while play was live and sometimes in…

yeah, right? “There behavior was so bad, I was surprised no one said anything, so I took out my camera, filmed, and didn’t say anything!”

It strikes me as really important to remember that sportswriters fundamentally are entertainers deriving their usefulness off the work of other entertainers. An elite athlete’s job is much harder to be good at than theirs (hence the pay gap). Athletes are also held to a more objective standard than writers are.…

I read his rant and all I think of is this as a reply

I was there at the top of 215. The Caps fans around me were totally fine and mature. We embarrassed ourselves last night. Guy next to me was the worst offender of them all, and his 4-year-old daughter on his screaming wife’s lap looked absolutely terrified. It was a disgrace all around. Have been a season-ticket…

Ah there it is. The wristband truther. That is fucking amazing.

How do you leave out the incessant booing of a barely conscious, obviously concussed Orpik? This doesn't happen everywhere, at least not as consistently as it happens in Philly. Bunch of assholes over there. Don't validate their shitty behavior.

Those other things that you mention are done when good things happen, not to voice frustration.
