I was thinking of the Joey Barton vs Man City thing a few years ago, where Barton got ~15 games because the FA added up a bunch of infractions: 5 games for this, 5 games for that, etc. I thought Higuain might see the same thing: some games for the red, some games for hands on the referee, some for confronting…

Right you are - four match ban.

It was bullshit, and I don’t blame him for getting mad...but considering Higuain has more than twice as many goals as any other player in the league, and considering his 2nd placed team is the only one with the chance to catch first placed Juventus, he really, really fucked his team. Billy doesn’t even mention the…

Pretty sure US backup GK Jillian Lloyd retired because of Hope Solo’s unpunished DV charge - her sister was beaten to death in a DV episode.

I’m not sure Leroux said anything, but she was born and raised in Canada and IIRC she played for the Canadian international youth teams until it was pointed out that she was way, way, way too good for Canada, at which point she switched to the USWNT. In other words, she’s just as “foreign” as the USMNT players…

Here’s what I don’t understand: why does Putin even need to wash his money through offshore tax havens? He’s the ruler of the country and the former head of the KGB! Who’s gonna hurt him? If you want to know what happens to people who investigate him, just ask Anna Politkovskaya.

OK, so you’re determined to provide excuses for her behavior no matter what happens. Why not just say that?

What about the girl who was granted a restraining order against Hope Solo in high school? Do you have to know that victim’s height and weight to determine whether “She punched me in the cheek. Then she said, ‘I f—-ing hate you, you fat a— whore!’ and punched me two more times. Once in the eye and once in the mouth”…

Any of you kids out there reading this story, there’s a very important life lesson: if you’re good at your job you can behave any way you want.

Well, I’m going to go out on a limb here and suggest there is at least one Protestant qualified to be on the SC in this country...but there’s not a single one on the SC. Nor has there been since 2010.

Right? If Garland is approved the court will be 4/9 Jewish in a country where 1.5% of the population is Jewish. No wonder so many Jews feel persecuted.

You forgot to mention one key rule: a Democratic President can not nominate a white man unless he’s Jewish.

It’s OK, Hulk.

What, you mean the little people? Who cares about them? They were only part of a “side hussle.” Dawg.

Hey, that’s not fair - at least she doesn’t work for a company that posts rape videos for clicks...oh.

Only 3.5 more years...

Believe me, as a former Harvard undergrad I only knew one person who was expelled, and it was for - gasp! - plagiarism.

Only the true messiah denies his divinity.

I can’t imagine why this hasn’t made it out of the greys.

I recently watched “Spotlight” - the Boston diocese of the Catholic church should change their name to AAFC.
