Check out [any international] play in the MLS.

Go home, Tomi Nguyen.

The reason they pander to fascists is why they consider expansion: who cares about the aesthetics and the nature/identity of the game when there’s money to be made!

And the one before that (2009) was thrown out in a US-backed (or US-neutral) coup that featured tons of violence by the military

put some respect on ZODIAC’s name MFer

In countries where teams don’t move and don’t threaten to go to Alberquerque for tax breaks, a team can represent far more than just “a piece of clothing” (e.g. Leafs/Habs, Barca/Real)

this is usually said after they’ve “enforced the law” lethally on someone for being black and doing a misdemeanour (e.g. selling loose cigarettes, lmao)

Weird flex, but ok.

When they tried to pull that again against Ethiopian Airlines - sent the talking heads out to not so subtly imply that the African pilots were too dumb to understand the technology... I knew they were screwed. They literally just saw “Ethiopia... k we won’t have to try too hard” not realizing their safety record is ~3…

I should’ve added a “yeah I know it’s not for you, I just really like having a practical use for this stuff and figure the readers might like it”

This is what is known as a hypergeometric distribution (selection without replacement - think “how many skittles do I need to take to get 3 red skittles”). Using this calculator here, I…

You’ve lost the respect of half your population (including people who can fucking spell and use English). You’ve won the right to be racist as shit in public. Great trade!

it means “our analytics say that appealing to Real Americans from the Heartland (tm) makes money, so we’re gonna run this shit into the ground and someone else can worry about the next generation”

This + squat racks = perfect gym.  

How many districts are so gerrymandered/are running “Name on Ballot” to the point where that sort of analysis could be done with zero knowledge of stats?

I’ve read that the quality of analysis varies by team. From experience: the NHL stuff is great, the Raptors coverage was great, the Jays as good as can be expected. I’ve heard A’s fans complain it’s not worth it

depends on what sports you’re commenting on, like everywhere else...

John Lewis - born in Alabama, harassed by the Klan, Selma marcher - not being “from the South” is so loud it’s not even a dogwhistle anymore. Bet you this guy probably thinks the Real Americans who move from the suburbs to go work for LMA in Marietta are “Southern” though
