Shouldn’t be a hot take, but it is with a lot of schools/admin out there.
Athletes with failing grades should not play on game days (this goes for any sport) 🤷🏽♂️
Absolutely not, it takes more than athletic ability to dominate, you take our best athletes & put them in the favelas or European infrastructure from 4 years old we would be able to compete & look like we belong, dominate is a bit far fetched.
@JamieMetzl You’ve clearly never been cleated or knicked by a stud at full speed before. Go play at your local Mexican league and come back with your findings
Mauricio Pochettino said that ‘American sports reward losers’ when asked about the style of play in top European nations vs. in the U.S. 😯🇺🇸
QUESTION: “We know how England, France, Spain play… Players from countries with a strong tradition have a recognizable style. What is the style of the US team? What kind of football do the Americans want to play?”
ANSWER: “Their culture is playful. They want to play. We told them, “Guys, playing soccer is one thing, competing is another.” They’re two completely different sports. They grow up in a culture of playing. Why? If you start in MLS and you haven’t won a game in three months and you’re at the bottom, what’s the consequence if there’s no promotion or relegation, no international competition? American sports reward losers! But soccer is different: if you reward those who don’t win… If you don’t have goals, you don’t fight. If I lose, what happens? Nothing. They just fire the coach. Also, the American player is disciplined. But with a sense of complacency that isn’t good in soccer. It took us a year and a half to change that mentality.”

The guy squirting water into Zach Ertz’s mouth is Joe O’Pella. He’s an athletic trainer that’s been with the team for over 15 years at this point.
NFL teams don’t really have water boys, athletic trainers are usually the ones responsible for having water on the practice field and during games, but this post is absolutely hilarious.
A guy who rehabbed my ACL tear in my second year, has a masters degree from Pitt, and has years of experience keeping Eagles players healthy and on the field being called a “Waterboy” is crazy, and I’m already giving him shit for it, but good lord this post is so wildly misleading.
Either way, thought I’d clear the air, that the people with Water Bottles during games actually serve much bigger roles on NFL Teams.
Futbol is much more demanding/difficult from a technical/quality standpoint to be successful individually, when done the right way it’s damn near artistic.
Happy Gilmore 2 is stupid, cheesy, fueled by gratuitous cameos and constant callbacks to the first movie…
…and I laughed the entire time and thoroughly enjoyed it all. It just hits all the nostalgic notes perfectly.
@WaltDisneyWorld@UniversalORL I have an idea.
Have flat screens on the walls in yalls lines and play the movies (Jurassic Park, Star Wars, Harry Potter, etc).
Would make those long line waits more bearable
