@scarletcircus@ProvoPolice Do you really think they are going to do the right thing? No chance. Guarantee they are working diligently as we speak to cover her crimes. The police departments always become the cover up crew and never the clean up crew. They will investigate and find themselves innocent 😂
@MichaelWBratton@SECcousinShane I heard the same thing from these guys the entire season last year. Same at barstool. Then we destroy little bro per usual and we should care what they think this year? I’m guessing they predict OM to win 7 this year? Haters
@Who_tweeted@samtripoli Wrong. The women received $2 million in 2015 and $4 million in 2019. Women don’t bring in nearly the revenue that the men’s game does because they don’t have fans. Yet they get exactly the same money? What a scam the woke women pulled off.
@chayprabs@robj3d3@oliverhenry Does not matter. The gun should be pointed down range at all times. Too many have died doing exactly what he did here. This is safety 101. Most ranges would kick him out for this.
@hxhenzoIIern@bwfast Billionaire owners paid many millions in franchise fees just to be in the MLS. Now they can be relegated down while the lower teams didn’t pay anything? I’m for the European model but this is one issue to overcome.
@japan_nobunaga You need one for each situation you might be in, home defense, concealed carry etc.. Then some more just for range fun. The real shocker to foreigners would be how much ammo Americans store, rather than how many guns. We have the ammo down to a science and make it in our garage!
Why the USA will never be a football superpower.
Pay to play.
In England, from 10 to 16 I payed junior football. The teams were mostly started by a parent who wanted, for free, to give kids a team to play in. Those teams then joined FA sanctioned leagues ( Lichfield league, Walsall league in my case). Subs were about 50p a game ( subs are a fee for admin, pitch hire, referee).
The model in England hasn't changed much, save for the fact there's fewer teams and fewer leagues. But the cheap to play model, meaning the poor and rich can play equally, holds.
I'm staying with one of my best mates in Miami. Had a late night conversation 2 nights ago. 2 kids that play football.
$4000 per season, per child to play for a team.
Why?
US junior leagues are private enterprises (shock). The US equivalent of the Football Association offers no grassroots football, no level 1 to 3 cheap badges for Moms or Dads to take so they can coach the basics, no structure locally or nationally of organised leagues, just profiteers who start up a league, charge a fortune, and if you're a poor Messi-esque talent from the wrong part of Miami, sure you can buy a ball and play on a patch of grass, but forget organised football, you can't afford it.
So imagine, in a nation of 350 million, how many kids they're missing out on and will continue to after this successful World Cup for them.
Money, greed, pay to play.
99.9% of greats to play the game wouldn't have made it in America. Because they couldn't afford $4000 ( plus) to play. In subs my Mom probably paid £200 total over 6 or 7 years of junior football.
America, it's not all about money you know, it's about opportunity for all too. And you're pricing generation after generation out of the chance to be a part of this incredible sport you've seen first hand.
To the US Federation. Do fucking better. Organise local and national junior leagues, van profiteering, offer cheap coaching badges for parents who want to give their time for free to America's kids.
Football. Accessible to all.
@dungarezenafara@AgentSleek@AndyStaples While kneeling during the anthem and trashing the country saying they are ashamed to be American. So yeah screw them and screw you commie
@OregonHomer Good players are at academies at a very young age. People don’t understand that we never had them in America in the past but we do now. Every team in MLS has one. It still takes years for development. The future is bright but we’re still in the present unfortunately.
@yvesai0@cenkuygur The way VAR was used to issue the red card was against FIFA’s rules. The appeal process was already in place. The US appealed and FIFAs independent committee of 18 people made the decision. The rules were followed by everyone but the referee.
