Mexico, the 10th most populous country in the world, where football is, by far, the nation's number one sport.

No domestic cup. No promotion and relegation.

Salaries and attendances in the second division and lower leagues have fallen by more than 50%.

Very few players are exported to stronger leagues.

Yet the priority remains the same: maximizing profits and following what benefits the US market, despite the two countries having completely different football histories, cultures, and identities.

It's hard to imagine doing more damage to a country's football than what has been done in Mexico.

🚨🎙️ Thierry Henry on FIFA turning the World Cup Final into a Super Bowl circus:

“Football is losing its soul little by little. A World Cup Final is supposed to be the purest form of football, pressure, intensity, emotion, tactics, suffering, history. Not a halftime concert made for social media clips and celebrities in vip seats.

When you play at the highest level, your body is programmed around rhythm. Fifteen minutes. That’s what every footballer in the world has known since childhood. Your muscles stay warm, your concentration stays locked in, your emotions stay alive. Now imagine players sitting there for 25 minutes during the biggest game of their lives because FIFA wants a bigger TV spectacle.

People think footballers are robots. They are not. Momentum is real. If one team is dominating before halftime, that long break can completely kill the intensity of the game. It changes everything tactically and mentally. You cool down physically, you lose adrenaline, and then people expect players to immediately return playing at 100 miles per hour.

And let’s be honest here, this is not about football, it’s about money and entertainment. They want football to become the Super Bowl. More commercials, more performances, more headlines, more celebrities. But football became the biggest sport in the world without all of that. The game itself was enough.

The dangerous part is that if the final quality drops or players get injured because of these changes, fans will attack the players first. They will say certain stars disappeared in the second half or failed under pressure, without understanding the conditions were completely changed for a television show.

For me, the World Cup Final should feel sacred. Ninety minutes of war between the best players on earth. Not a pause long enough for the world to forget the match is even happening.”

I swear 50% of societal issues are because parents just refuse to have potentially uncomfortable conversations with their children and have for generations.

I for one am shocked that NBA employees are gambling. How did they get sucked into that kind of activity?

I really hope they address this on the FanDuel Pregame show sponsored by bet365, right before the big game at DraftKings arena

asking ai to generate a video of the only former black president being arrested while you yourself are a convicted felon and a friend of epsteins with the caption “no one is above the law” is as equally insane as it is racist
