@AdamCrafton_ @TheAthleticFC To be fair to FIFA, they are only trying to make up the revenue they lost because they weren’t able to accept bribes when awarding the WC to all of North America. That money has to come from somewhere and it’s not coming from Middle Eastern oligarchs anymore.

@Lukewearechange Saying “Trump is owned by BB” is neither making fun of Israel or Epstein. It’s taking a shot at your host and then complaining you didn’t get invited to the party.

[Jonathan Pope @PopeJon32]

@Running_Ryan No doubt that Stanford does but do you think the decision-makers at Stanford will support a plan that would result in less revenue and lower pay for themselves even if it was good for the institution? The only reason this is hard to fix is because the solutions mean less money.

@ClayTravis It’s because the American government is the most poorly run and powerful institution on the planet. We have a massive deficit, $39T in debt, and the govt’s decisions are driven by fear of losing elections. It’s unsustainable and no AI driven stock boom can hide that.

@wil_da_beast630 It was an election year and democrats need 90%+ of black votes at 70ish% turnout to win the White House. The reaction wasn’t about George Floyd or historical oppression, it was about holding a Joe Biden campaign rally that he didn’t need to leave the basement for.

@TunawithaCh They are great players, we missed the CL, and we are in the dead zone between the season ending and the World Cup. This is prime time for reckless and baseless transfer speculation so I would just ignore the noise until the WC ends.

@catturd2 Today?! This is California, anything but an absolute blowout will be called closer to the 4th of July than today.

@plaverty9 @Top100Rick If it meant a wave of productive employees that my clients were disappointed to see go came running back to my company; then yes, i would welcome them with open arms. The competition is dead. Punishing the players simply harms the PGA Tour and reminds people LIV still exists.

@jadler1969 @MZHemingway Complaining that the system of checks and balances worked to protect a very citizen-oriented provision of the Constitution is just not a good look. It’s a simple premise too, prior to changing the constitution, the voters must have a chance to vote the legislators out of office.

@fargolawyer @ZeffMax They don’t. They have ownership interests in companies that are valued at billions of dollars. Fortunately for them, none of those businesses are valued based upon their ability to get technologically illiterate attorneys to use a digital exhibit.

@Kwtweep @Steven_Swinford @FraserNelson Never underestimate the self-serving nature of politicians in stable, western, liberal democracies. They have so much to gain and almost nothing to lose.

@CJ1two @QuincyAvery It’s a different game played at a much higher level than in HS and college. It’s also likely that no QB has played teams that are as good as his consistently until reaching the NFL so they have to reteach some things the talent gap hid. It’s why he was a day 3 pick, not top 3.

[Jonathan Pope @PopeJon32]

@MichaelDell @davidharsanyi 7) do something that millions of people are willing to watch or listen to like all of the athletes and celebrities who are worth more than a billion dollars have done.

[Jonathan Pope @PopeJon32]

@Top100Rick @casualclubguy There are so many good golf courses that I will use a comparison from the NFL that I use when I hear people talk about top 5 qbs. He is one of the 10 top 5 qbs in the NFL. This course is one of the 200 top 100 courses in the country. It just depends on who you ask and when.

[Jonathan Pope @PopeJon32]

@BadSportsRefs @ArashMarkazi They haven’t been missing. It’s that nobody cares about officiating bias until it’s in favor of the team that is winning. The NBA is reaching the point the NFL reached last year when Kelce had to answer a question about it during Super Bowl week and got pissed.

[Jonathan Pope @PopeJon32]

@Running_Ryan @lawrencehurley Same to you. Always fun to have a dialogue that doesn’t devolve into name calling and insults the moment there is any disagreement.

[Jonathan Pope @PopeJon32]

@Running_Ryan @lawrencehurley The minimization of the catastrophe that was the Korematsu decision is a pet peeve of mine. When the government and majority think their reason to ignore constitutional rights is valid is the exact moment we need them protected the most and the one time we tested it, we failed.

[Jonathan Pope @PopeJon32]

@Running_Ryan @lawrencehurley I don’t disagree but I would rather SCOTUS stop the illegal actions than be comforted by the knowledge that the man who ordered it would be joining me soon which is why I view korematsu as worse. It allows the illegal act to continue and doesn’t punish the person who ordered it.
