They do not. But, MLB’s percentage of revenue that goes towards players is higher than the NBA and the NFL’s contractual rate.

lol

“All that separated Verlander from a perfect game was giving up a walk to Cavan Biggio in the second at-bat of the game.”

No need for VAR. Check ARgentina. or PARaguay.

An MLS blog that is honest about what it is but also complimentary of the entertainment the game provided?

I’m not sure that’s always the case. Sure, that’s a distinction with El Clasico between Real and Barca. But look at this list of “Clasicos” and you can see a lot from the same city.

Hey Deadspin, I’d just like to point out that we are here commenting because we like soccer, and not because we love to get riled up about shitty Haisley shit takes.

Really, it’s just Billy. He’s been their worst writer for a while now and has a reputation to keep up (well, down).

The handball rule can be good or bad, but either way it is changeable, marginal, and self-contained. VAR is permanent, pervasive, and omnipresent. To think about which one is worse, try to image a world without one or the other.

I’m sorry but I’m not here for VAR bashing. Having the games biggest moments decided by bad officials is not what anybody wants. You can hate the handball rule but it’s hard and fast. It removes any ambiguity from the decision. VAR makes, as sure as we can get, that the right call, the right team, gets rewarded. Not…

Yes, I recall the halcyon days of yesteryear when there were no weekly controversies in soccer based on disputed handballs and offsides calls.

I know which world I’d rather live in.

Once again, VAR clearly got a call correct. Once again, this site uses that as a reason to cry about VAR. Literally the worst thing about VAR is these blogs after a correct call.

It’s the same as last week, when VAR disallowed a gorgeous Man City goal because it decided that Raheem Sterling’s shoulder was offside by a couple centimeters.

Handball: cold

A more predictable headline and essay I could not imagine. Just shut up Billy.

VAR is the answer. It is consistently righting wrongs and keeping outcomes legitimate. You would rather see City win a match they shouldn’t have won? Get off it, Deadspin. This “VAR is bad” take is the worst take since Burneko’s ridiculous Anthony Davis takes that he went on a ban rampage over.

this take is wrong and bad. All VAR is doing is exposing how poorly written many of the laws of the game are. Keep VAR, change the laws.

Oh hey is it that time again for a hit piece by Billy who somehow advocates against making sure the call on the field is correct?  All rule judging should be taken out of the hands of meat sacks. It's the exact reason why baseball needs an electronic umpire behind home plate to call balls and strikes. So it's…

Everyone loves to rail on City but that’s a fucking joke.
