I contacted every member of the US Men’s National Team to ask if they were happy about today’s result and if they like puppies. None responded and I think we can all agree that their silence speaks volumes.

“status as a blogger for Deadspin probably doesn’t warrant a response”

If my co workers were in a salary litigation I wouldn’t comment either. Also, did you consider your status as a blogger for Deadspin probably doesn’t warrant a response?

Sorry Deadspin, but in the US soccer world, ur only slightly better than TMZ.

Don Cheadle should replace Jussie on Empire.

It’s almost as if faking a two hate crimes is somehow against the law and actually prosecutable! Who would have thought? 

My only take-away from this is that Deadspin and all of the other sister sites have a set of different writers with differing opinions. Some of these writers, like Drew, are great and I believe would actually side with “Don’t be a dick while beating the shit out of an underdog opponent.” And others like whoever wrote…

“Score all the goals you can but maybe don’t celebrate like crazy when you’re up double digits” just seems like such a reasonable and common-sense take. The fact that it’s getting so much push-back is absolutely wild to me.

It’s the most thin-skinned overreaction to the slightest criticism. “Hey, maybe tone down the celebrations when you’re up 10-0.”

Americans not reacting well to gentle criticism? Whoda thunk it?

“Actually, it’s good to be a dick when you’re beating the shit out of a clearly under-matched opponent” is the worst and weirdest take Deadspin has been flogging since they trotted out “The New Orleans Pelicans have some sort of, uh, moral duty (?) to trade Anthony Davis to the Lakers because that would be entertaining…

This is next level Trump-style willful stupidity, like when he says he won’t fire Kellyanne Conway for violating the Hatch Act because “she’s very loyal.”

Like, I don’t understand how so many don’t understand this. You’re beating a team that never had a shot before the game. You’re not even trouncing a historic hated rival and wanna rub their nose in it a little bit. Play the rest of the game hard, sure, score as many as you can with a view to the standings and the…

Deadspin shifts their faux morality to embrace Barstool culture whenever they see fit. If the Russian team had done this to Jamaica, for example, there would be a 70,000 word scolding think piece shat out overnight.

Fuck, your article and the first comment I read completely miss the point: nobody disputes that the U.S. was justified in scoring as many times as possible, with goal differential being a factor in the standings. It’s about celebrating the 8th or 9th or 10th goal and beyond against an outclassed, clearly dispirited…

While I agree that the commentary was a little dramatic from the Canadian Broadcast Team, the USWNT celebrations were a bit much, They are the dominate force in the game and should display a little more class than that especially when playing against a far inferior team that was just happy to be there for the first…

Not to go full grandpa here, but there’s at least 9 phones I can count in the picture with Draymond scraping the ball. How is that fun for people?

>Trindade, without consulting the firm, filed a criminal complaint with the Sao Paulo police alleging that Neymar raped her

I agree. The horror of having to kill the pets was illustrated by the faces of the men having to do the job, not by actually showing the animals being killed.
