It is my sincerest hope that the US misses the 2022 World Cup as well, and this finally gets everyone to admit that the US will never accomplish much in it’s #5 sport.

I have to side with Billy Haisley on this one because it’s funny to see people get mad about the fact the MLS still isn’t any good (I’m glad it’s here, it has made strides and it will get better). And equating the MLS to a middle-of-the-road European league isn’t exactly a glowing endorsement since that currently puts…

Sometimes I legitimately wonder if our amateur weekend league teams here in Brazil could take a MLS team. Maybe US Pro Soccer Teams should be wondering the opposite. How do you allow yourself to do that kind of stuff ON TELEVISION?

It’s as if Stephen Colbert, to use an existing comparison, had taken his “Stephen Colbert” character to Fox News and enjoyed glowing press for doing satire at the network.

Laura, good article, you bring up really solid points and I 100% agree with you.

I posted to the earlier article about USS swimming when I was young, so I won’t rehash.

I can’t get over the fact that the USOC managed to harbor MULTIPLE independent, honest-to-god international sex trafficking rings actively preying on children.

That’s one of the things I love about hockey. At the end of the game, the players shake hands.

Canadians also. We see this, and then have to tolerate hockey jokes? Really?

This is why Americans wonder why the rest of the world loves soccer.

Zlatan did not receive a red card. The red card received Zlatan.

I know. It’s their worst season ever and it appears to be all downhill from here.

To Barry’s credit, this is by far the worst season in the history of the franchise, so he was at least right about that.

It’s nice to learn that even sports fans in Vegas can be as insufferable as the rest of us.

Nadal went through periods in several matches (Fognini, Djokovic, Zverev) where the other guy redlined for a little while. He lost a bunch of games in a row to all three of those guys. But he stays calm, knowing it won’t last, because it never does. God help anyone who is counting on redlining for 3 straight hours in…

Yeah, reading this story I’m about to go and punch the dude and I have no vested interest in this at all.

Nobodys mocking the sport. They’re mocking the fuckheads who play it and ruin it for the rest of us, fuckhead.

This is why I wish sex work and sex workers weren’t so stigmatized. I’ve long thought sex work needs to be legal, regulated, unionized, and taxed.

golf, chris.

The best of that whole thing was when ESPN declared USC the 3rd greatest college team of all time... before the national championship game.
