@eddieh33@PolymarketHoops@TheSteinLine You gotta watch the games lol, he’s not the next bird but his energy is ridiculous and singlehandedly started so many runs for us last year. Wouldn’t be the deal breaker in not getting a Giannis trade done but there’s a reason why we love him
such an iconic and one-of-a-kind player. im sure even after he retires, that song will still be playing in stadiums, ppl will be doing his celebration, players will grow up idolizing him. once said he wanted to leave something of himself in football. time’s gonna be kind to him.
I love the World Cup what do you mean Scottish football fans in kilts are lined up for fried chicken at the Downtown Crossing Raising Cane’s before 11 a.m.
Imagine if Boston (Massachusetts, really) allowed for more fun stuff to happen throughout the year? Not just when there's a major sports event? What's happening in and around Boston right now is a glimpse of what life here could be like, if more of us stopped being such Puritans!
Abdul Carter says he will only address Jaxson Dart introducing Donald Trump one time:
"Some things are bigger than football, and this is one of those things.
Jaxson is one of our leaders - he's the face of our franchise. He represents himself and what he does, and he represents all of us.
If he chooses to align himself with a man like President Trump, it's my responsibility based on what I believe and what I stand on to not only show my teammates that I'm against that, but to show the world.
That doesn't mean that we have to spread hate. That doesn't mean that me and Jaxson hate each other or we have beef. I sit next to Jaxson every day - we're close, we talk.
As long as we make sure we have the same goal as a team, and our goals align - which they do -that's all that matter.
I just want to move past this."
The transition of sports fandom from loyalty and joy and community to monetization and commodification is a little heartbreaking to me. A signal of the broader commercialization of everything not nailed down in America.
