ESPN having two articles on its front page this morning calling the Balogun red card suspension “a bad look” is disappointing but not unexpected. Why does your organization have to be joyless, unpatriotic losers at all times? @notthefakeSVP
.@VP: "You will hear a couple small but loud voices today speak obsessively not of our national greatness, but of our national imperfections... They will tell you that America is just another country where the weak struggle against the strong, and if they acknowledge that there is anything to be proud of in our history, they’ll say it’s the fact that sometimes the powerless have won a zero-sum battle. They’re wrong..."
"What I’d ask you to do, my fellow Americans, on our 250th birthday, is to reject the two dimensional view of your fellow citizens, and reject the two dimensional view of your country. Reject that America is a place for zero-sum thinking, because it is not. Our history is one of people carving a great civilization out of the wilderness. Reject the view of your nation that sees only its sins, but not its grace and its greatness." 🇺🇸
This really captures why we fight:
‘Those who peddle lies about our heritage—that we live on stolen land or our heros were oppressors—are trying to the destroy the people who declared Independence, settled the West, and conquered the skies. We will not let that happen.’
Nothing against Messi but the entire Fox broadcast team have been embarrassing this entire game. It would be awesome to see Cape Verde pull this off yet every analyst sounds like they are about to off themselves. #WorldCup#argentina#CapeVerde
Oh just the mellowest “Spanish Moon” cover you’ve ever heard with Marcus King on drums and his buddies playing instruments once owned by Mike Bloomfield & Jerry Garcia nbd

@DrewALine33@JayHrndz2 Nothing fragile about spotting the ball and playing whoever is in front of you. The hand wringing and begging for a weak opponent is annoying and emblematic of typical American soccer fan. Aka gay
As if soccer wasn’t already lame enough in this country, our national team went out and lost a home friendly to Germany on D-Day wearing rainbow number jerseys. :/
@CoachBikeMianco@OleMissMuse1 We threw Calvin Harris in right in 2022 and it worked out just fine. Not sure if we have a better stick to slide into the DH though like we had with Alderman at the time.
@RhubarbBrown Don’t think MLB will be going with another altitude city. Denver is already an issue. Approx 1,000 feet difference but I think it’s enough to cross SLC off from MLB expansion
@HamptonPrezcott 100% agree. Antioch / little Mexico in Nashville is a prime example of this. Stop building subdivisions in Peagram and fix the ones we already have.
This is probably good (and a good deal) but I don’t understand Central/Eastern European sliced bread culture. Do you nibble the bread separately? Do you sandwichize it?
