I can't do better than quote Dr. King in reply:

Cambrai was 1917

That would be great, though you should be allowed to spike it

Isn't the solution to have a functioning public transportation system connecting Orlando and Tampa and joining up all the suburbs first, then build a stadium midway between the two. That way (a) you don't have to use I-4 to get there and (b) you can drink during the game and still make your own way home.

On this specific, they're right. Racist chanting is just about dead in British football. There's still plenty of homophobia, lots of misogyny, bucketfuls of sectarianism, not to mention all the spite. But almost no (overt) racism.

The fans are segregated, if it came from the away fans' section, it would be pretty obvious.

12 team playoff with four byes. Makes it very unlikely that anyone will play more than three games (you'd have to beat two top-4 seeds in succession).

There are 11 places left to settle: Uruguay/Jordan, Mexico/New Zealand, four UEFA playoffs and five CAF playoffs.

It's usually called "semi-pro" football, because the players are paid, but not enough to not have another job. Some teams do literally pay the minimum wage.

Alpe d'Huez (one mountain) had an estimated 500,000-750,000 fans on it (spread out over about 20km/15 miles). Most of them had been drinking all day when the riders went past about 4pm local.

Insane fan behavior is pretty normal - one rider got pissed on by a "fan" on an earlier stage. There are loads of photos of…

I was driving on holiday in France a few years ago and stopped at a level crossing for a train. Turns out it was a TGV. Those mothers are terrifying up close.

Deadspin commenters do not make a joke about Virginia Tech shooting. Surprisingly classy.
