@JW_1888 Maybe they’re opposed to the 19th century Lowland appropriation of Highland culture?
(Isn’t it common knowledge that historically Lowlanders regarded the wearing of “redshanks” kilts as barbarous???)

[Ed Rae @EdRae11]

@DrakeMT Wrong question.
There are only 2 conferences.
And Vegas beat (swept) the President’s Trophy winners.
When did the Leafs ever do that???

[Ed Rae @EdRae11]

@jacknetta @LockedNHLBruins Not a chance Detroit goes for that.
More like Hagens, Letourneau and a #1.

@ArmstrongT97969 @RideoutTim You’re correct, Professor Smout.

[Ed Rae @EdRae11]

@thegibshow_ @timmmccloskey That’s an idiotic and utttely irrelevant question.

A better question is what’s the average income (including unreported and untaxed income from tips) of wait staff.

And the answer is that it’s much higher in the U.S. and Canada than it is in the UK and Europe.

[Ed Rae @EdRae11]

@EvanMarinofsky @ConorRyan_93 100% yes.

[Ed Rae @EdRae11]

@FarvaRangers Haiti is anemic.

They’re only in the Wirld Cup because it’s in North America and the 3 best CONCACAF teams weren’t in qualifying.

Curaçao thrashed them 5-1 in qualifying last June.

@KonstantinKisin @sunQ_osrs Let’s not go to that silly argument. An identical white man doesn’t get that treatment.

If you haven’t seen Republican Senator Tim Scott’s “driving while black” speech, it’s a must watch for the experience of black males with American law enforcement.

@GrahamSpiers That’s a largely nonsense post.
Losing is possible (🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 lost to Kazakhstan not that long ago after all).

But Haiti is absolute rubbish. They are never a serious contender in CONCACAF, got thrashed 5-0 by Curaçao and only qualified because the U.S., Canada, and Mexico were hosts.

@ohgoodgrief2 @ManagerTactical Most countries in Europe.
But Finland, Russia and Czechia would have ice hockey above soccer (perhaps well above) as their number 1 sport as far as adult interest and gambling goes.
In Sweden it would be close, but I’d think hockey would be more popular there too.

[Ed Rae @EdRae11]

@ConorRyan_93 I’m like you in really liking Zacha.
But I have two concerns: (1) how well will he age (he seems to play through nagging injuries and isn’t a speed burner to begin with), and (2) whether or not he just had a career year or whether that will be the new normal for 4-5 more years.

[Ed Rae @EdRae11]

@_TyAnderson Yes! And Miller was cheaper.

[Ed Rae @EdRae11]

@RPMComo Does anyone in Scotland without Irish descent actually cheer for Celtic???

And if yes, then why?

There doesn’t seem to be any left-wing or terrorist cause that is too despicable for them to support.

[Ed Rae @EdRae11]

@BruinsWyan2 If you want to put all late bloomers and players who have never had breakout years in a different category from reclamation projects, that would exclude guys like Jones, Wahlstrom and Reichel too.

But there’s still Taylor Hall, Danton Heinen and perhaps JVR very recently.

[Ed Rae @EdRae11]

@NHLBruins And yet Marco plays Peeke over him against a speedy team like the Sabres.
Henri should be the 2RD.

[Ed Rae @EdRae11]

@scotball_ Scotland is expected to lose to Morocco and Brazil.
If that happens a non-negative goal difference will be very difficult to achieve.
So they may need a draw with one of them.

[Ed Rae @EdRae11]

@southwalesmag @AshtonGgmu Most North Americans have jobs and therefore aren’t watching during the day.
That’s why weekday North American sporting events typically start at 7:00, 7:30 or 8:00 local time.

[Ed Rae @EdRae11]

@FPLFella Those aren’t the local kickoff times.
Nobody in North America cares what times the games start in Europe.
They are scheduled for the convenience of the locals, not the convenience of people from “the bloody continent”.
