TRIGGER WARNING for USA Republicans cheering for Folarin Balogun:

That's a lot of diversity, and that's what makes America great. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
‘If this man [Erling Haaland] has a big World Cup, boom, right to the top, even over this guy [Zlatan], I love you Z but I will take Haaland over you in terms of legendary status…’
What on earth was the point in Alexi Lalas telling this to Zlatan? 😭😭😭
The World Cup absolutely mogs every other sporting event. It’s what the Olympics wishes it was X100.
You’ve got Europeans road-tripping across America and having their minds blown by Buc-ee’s and Bass Pro Shops. You’ve got a small Kansas town falling in love with an Algerian club that chose Kansas City as their homebase. You’ve got South Korea training in Utah to prepare for the altitude in Guadalajara.
For one month, the whole world forgets we’re supposed to hate each other over differences that barely matter. It’s the closest thing we have to world peace.
I am publicly announcing that from this day on Lawrence, Kansas is my American city, I am supporting all of their sports franchises and any Lawrencian is now my friend
Baby Keem talks about video games being an escape for him and how he got into football (soccer):
“When I was like 12, I started playing online games, and I found FIFA….I watched Mesut Özil play. That’s how I became an Arsenal fan. He’s so good that he has a play style, which is like…you have to be double great. In music terms, that's like the greatest rapper making a [great] rock album. This guy is like, ‘I’m going to be unselfish. I’m not going to be known as this [one thing], but I can do all of these things.’ He makes the game look beautiful. He exemplifies what the sport is to me.”

Hitting the playoff game tying 3 to force OT in the same game you threw an alley oop to your literal son is more impressive in and of itself than 6 rings.
Kansas lands Leroy Blyden Jr., the MAC Freshman of the Year.
The 6-1 freshman averaged 16.4 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 4.5 assists per game this season, shooting 40% from three.
Really nice pickup for KU.
