Before we get into the whole “ugh, soccer is the worrrrst!,” just know that fucking everybody hates Pepe.

If the ref sees a dive, they should confirm it on video replay, then red card the diver. That’s the only way this shit will end.

This is why people hate soccer.

As soon as I saw that this happened in a Portugal match, I knew it was Pepe. The worst of the worst.

Pepe’s the worst and always has been. There has to be a law that players have to choose between diving and dirty fouls. If you do both habitually, you should be banned from the game.

Along with avoiding sponsors and US citizens, Rafa Márquez also declined Landon Donovan’s support of the Mexican team.

I don’t know what culture you live in, but I personally feel like some presentations of religion (I’d argue the most prevalent presentations) contribute to this misunderstanding. When the Israelites repented and God forgave them of whichever sins they were committing at the time, God lifted the punishment He was…

That is interesting to read. I’ve always taken forgiveness as excusing someone for something terrible or telling them it’s okay they did something in the wrong. It’s not a word to use for the person making the offense, it’s for the forgiver. Huh. This puts things in perspective.
