Hope you're not looking for an excuse to excuse the cop for shooting a kid. Poking into places irrelevant to the story...not good.

The shocking part: they look for excuses forever and a day. It's a damn shame. Death is death, regardless if it was pretty Becky or athletic Jamal.

A song that has been sung forever and not a damn thing has changed. In short: black men are dangerous in the wrong situations; police are notoriously overzealous in their treatment of young black men; white America hates talking about race and dismisses any mention of it as poking a dead animal. Let's sit down and…

I'm with you. Herd's usually got his stuff down: his embracing soccer, his criticism of baseball, social commentary etc.

Either the U, Reggie Miller, The Two Escobars, Pony Excess, or technical non-30-for-30s such as the Alabama v Auburn one. I didn't see the Hillsborough one although I've read the background story on it. Todd Marinovich's is super underrated; Marcus Dupree's, overrated.

Read both, brain is now at a standstill. Help.

Perfect illustration of why I could never be a writer. Also studying journalism in college, intern writing for a prominent college sports website, love the people I'm around...but I couldn't live with the whole writing thing.

The dude on WEWS sounds like a slow-jams music station DJ.

Thunder and Hornets in the same place? Tsk tsk.

Alright, game over. Everyone else just leave.

We're a developing soccer nation. Actually talk to USL, NASL, etc. owners about reaching MLS. Most of these guys don't even have their chickens lined up (re: stadiums, academies) to join the first division. (Hell, some MLS teams don't.) When the lower leagues can fix things up and build, then P&R can happen.

America loves a winner. America loves "the best" in sports. We're blessed/spoiled. So our soccer growth isn't in an effort to chase the best ourselves, it's based on chasing the best wherever the best may be.
So we have little perspective/motivation to develop MLS, which sucks, because if we're so great with sports,…

People should realize MLS was built in 20 years, so it's not going to be Europe, South America, or even Mexico. Also, the league's gotta invest in youth development as if it's the only thing that matters (see Mexico). If the top players play over the rest, ship him to a big European team and let him take on the big…

I picked United because David Beckham, but I was a noob (also, eight). So yeah, I'm stuck with it, you could say.

Really, just throw your support into MLS. Those big, fancy European teams aren't going to look under a rock for American talent, you know. They need a place!

YEAAAA, WE'RE 48-0 IN SUPER BOWLS #FOOTBAW

Sad part: bye bye forever, Tim Howard. DeMarcus Beasley. Perhaps Beckerman and Jermaine Jones. The USA's platinum generation is done, and Landon is included.

STOP EVIL!

The irony of liking a cult sport: liking a cult league in a cult sport. (It's because every soccer fan in/outside America thinks we're a joke.)

The thing is, Haisleyan commentary takes a fat shit on MLS for not being Europe, primarily because Americans don't like not being (around) the best, even in so-called un-'Merican sports.
