Basically if you draw a line from 0,0 to Messi's dot, everyone who is above that line can be argued to be better than Messi. All those missed through-ball attempts could have been very wasteful for all we know.

I always pronounce Real Salt Lake with a Spanish accent, and it's just so cringe-inducing. Literally rolls off the tongue, unfortunately. Can't say it isn't memorable though—maybe they should go for broke:

That always struck me as a potentially stupid name. One day the Big One will hit, and no one in the Bay Area will appreciate the name "Earthquakes." It's like calling a Los Angeles team the LA Riots.

It's not sexism, directly, although I'm sure it plays a role. Watching the Women's World Cup would probably be like watching the MLS—not much fun because of the absence of superstar-level skill.

Outside of people who just hop on the bandwagon, who actually really enjoys sports and talking about sports that haven't at some point in their lives (childhood/college) played the sport they love? Not many.

Xenophobia mayyybe, but racism no.

Man, you guys really fell for the troll bait pretty hard.

Yeah, I wonder what kid would want to learn how to make scissors from an old man to keep the craft alive. Probably not many, and that's probably the real shame because there wouldn't be a shortage of rich folks (and hipsters) who would pay good money for good, genuine craftsmanship.

They have nukes, and lots of crazy climbers. No mouth punching, please.

Why do crazy people all type in the SAME WAY... .... .......!!

Mika, thanks for writing this article! Yours are always so interesting!

Depending on the person, that's the same thing.

But the brain is clever. They would find some way to justify their actions and twist it to fit their worldview. Anti-vaxxers aren't led by reason—they're led by intuition.

Truly, and when you see one in person you realize how gigantic it is. A beautiful beast.

Is that raccoon blind? What's with all the face touching. I was so afraid that the cat might go bonkers on the raccoon.

wait wat?

I feel something similar when I watch Jeopardy categories being read by Trebek—particularly the longer category names.

I don't know about Japan, but I know that in Korea there's a weird fascination with English. I guess it's because it's the lingua franca where business is involved, but if you listen to any Korean pop songs since the 90s, you'll find them sprinkling their lyrics with English words or phrases, sometimes with poor…

Seriously. It seems ridiculous that they outsourced graphic design of all things—as if no one else in America could make the same or better collage for cheap. America's obsession with the bottom line needs to go.
