Seriously.

Your takes are so bad.

How about Fuck FIFA because it’s a corrupt worldwide criminal network, and Fuck The Next Two World Cups that the US shouldn’t be playing in. This very website has documented the cost, in the denomination of human slave lives, of the 2022 World Cup.

Honestly, this might be the funniest thing to happen to US sports in forever. After all their preening and condescension and pedantic misuse of plural/singular, all the soccer bois melting down is just hysterical...

Norms: Nazis are bad.

The point is it really helps them collect info on you!

If you broke the rules, you cheated. That’s my line.

Oh, it’s a thorny issue.

Yes exactly. It’s a change that would fundamentally alter the game, and poses safety concerns for the players. Just like PEDs.

I think they should have big fucking asterisks... and I think they do.

All-star selection is a bit different because it’s entirely qualitative and the designation is just basically a corporate gimmick. That’s actually what is so appealing about comparing stats — there’s no politics or sponsorship involved, it’s, in theory, a measure of how good someone actually is. Homeruns are the most…

Hey snowflake — if you can’t handle the content, go somewhere else!

You make some very reasonable points, but what’s the point of playing if you can’t be the best/most? I mean, if they’re not playing for the pleasure of playing, we’re keeping score, and this is another way to do it.

I think everyone knows, they just don’t care.

No one cared during the Olympics... and Putin invaded Crimea while everyone was still busy giving him handjobs for forcing his corrupt contractors to shoot all the stray dogs in time for the visitors... I feel like there’s a lesson there.

Hey snowflake, it’s pretty hard to see how demanding that black players obey their white owners and not highlight police brutality is not about race...

Deadspin did some fantastic coverage, and many of the readers seemed pretty virulently opposed to being forced to confront the issue.

But this kind of corruption is one that people actually (sometimes) pay attention to. It will be fascinating to see if soccer fans can squash their legit moral/ethical concerns they would ordinarily express about Russia because their beloved “beautiful game” is being played there. I bet they will. They seem to have no…

Yeah, he’s dirty as hell whatever it is.

Yeah, I was agreeing... I was challenging the public to explain why not... you’re not the only one here, homey!
