Sorry but pretty poor here from the party that claims to stand for inclusivity. This shouldn’t go out the window just because a family member of a political opponent is involved.

Neither USMNT nor Belgium had alternative kit at venue to change kits re: color clash. Post kick-off they tried to source from team hotels but not possible. Belgium's Onana said "it was awful" on-field & Lammens raised at HT with kitman

This is at an NCAA tournament game, the culmination of so much hard work for student athletes. As an X alum I find this type of behavior from ADULT Xavier fans completely disgraceful. Grow up, cheer for your team, stop letting anger and immaturity control your actions.

Sensible idea other than the tiny detail that AMERICANS PAY THE IMPORT TARIFFS SO THIS WOULD BE A 10% TAX FOR AMERICANS BUYING ANYTHING FROM ANOTHER COUNTRY AND ITS SILLY AND NAIVE TO THINK TARIFF COSTS WILL BE PAID FOR ANY OTHER WAY. But really good idea other than that.
How’s this for a simple approach?
We keep 10% across the board tariffs for the special privilege of doing business with the U.S. to compensate us for the investments we have made in global defense, health and otherwise, and to compensate our country for historically unfair trade practices that have contributed to our massive deficits and national debt.
We keep the pressure on China to resolve materially unfair trading practices, IP theft, currency manipulation, and other practices that have disadvantaged our nation.
We pause reciprocal tariff implementation for 90 days so we have time to engage in private negotiations with other countries, focusing first on those whose tariffs and practices have materially interfered with the competitiveness of U.S. manufactured goods in their markets.
Lastly, we consider that:
(1) it does not make sense to have balanced trade with countries that are smaller than us and that have fewer resources to spend on US goods, i.e., we will forever be buying more from Madagascar than they will buy from us,
(2) attempting to bring back jobs in low-wage manufacturing is not good for America, acknowledging, for example, that Bangladesh and Vietnam are better places to produce textiles and athletic shoes than here,
(3) U.S. ‘exports’ of software, IP, finance, and other services are high value and important sources of trade that are not reflected in traditional measures of exports and imports, and if included in the calculations would make the balance of trade statistics look much more balanced,
(4) our multinationals’ subsidiaries that sell services in foreign countries that are not counted in the balance of trade calculation, but generate profits, value and future dividends are good for America,
(5) a goal of generating a dollar of exports for every dollar of imports is not a useful one, particularly on a country-by-country basis in light of our massively higher standard of living, and having the largest economy in the world.
Lastly, the current trading system, while far from perfect or fair to the U.S., has served us extremely well so we need to be prudent in how we change it so as not to upset the world order in such a manner that it disadvantages our country over the long term.
Welcome to Xavier @LoboCoachPitino! I’m excited for what you’ll bring to the program and really hope you and your family find yourself at home in Cincinnati. Best of luck. This former Xavier manager will be rooting for you from across the pond.
Richard Pitino: “Xavier is one of the great brands in all of college basketball. It has always been a dream of mine to coach in the Big East. The Cintas Center is going to be rocking. I can’t wait to get to work.”
About @CoachMiller__. I’m bummed about the way this thing went and disappointed he left X. Still he’ll ALWAYS be my guy. I hope he gets what he’s been searching for at Texas. I’ll be rooting for X, but I’ll be pulling for him wherever he goes. All the best Coach. #AttackAndFinish
I spoke with someone well connected in the Xavier program last night who said "if they fire Steele, it's nuclear winter. It could be three years."
I sincerely hope it isn't.
