HS basketball players outnumber HS wrestlers 2:1.
And yet USA somehow manages to be Top 5 in the world in wrestling every year.
come up with another excuse for soccer
Everyone screams "MILLIONAIRES SHOULD PAY THIER FAIR SHARE"... but look at what actually happens.
A $200k earner pays roughly $50,000 in federal taxes annually.
A $35k earner pays about $2,500.
It takes 20 workers making $35k to equal what one person earning $200k contributes.
So why are we pushing top earners to leave the country when they already fund the majority?
The real issue isn't insufficient tax collection.
The real issue is government spending $2 trillion on programs nobody can audit.
Stop attacking earners.
Start demanding accountability from politicians who waste it all.
Per @SethWickersham: When Bill Belichick and the Patriots divorced in 2024, Sean Payton considered presenting Broncos owner Greg Penner a proposal for the ages: Hire Belichick as head coach until he reached 15 wins, enough to break Don Shula's career record of 347. Payton would temporarily step down to assistant head coach and run the offense, then move back after Belichick became the all-time leader. In the end, it was too complicated -- and maybe too fanciful.
It’s going to be very hard for the US to catch up with other countries ⚽️
Some context - I’ve played football at a high level in North America, and also LOI underage in Ireland. Players I’ve played with are now in the Premier League, League of Ireland, NCAA & other European professional leagues.
In Europe, the higher the level you play the cheaper football gets. You actually start to get paid if you’re at the very top, and at the very least, your gear, travel etc is covered by the club.
My club even had to pay fines for my red / yellow cards….
However, in the US, you have to pay more to play at a higher level. The best kids at 12 years old are almost always from middle/upper class backgrounds, playing in the big cities.
Then suddenly, football starts to get intertwined with your grades and education, which doesn’t help the people who actually need football.
For some people, football is literally all they have. Part of me thinks that’s sometimes why they make it — there’s no plan B. In the US, the backup plan is baked into football. The pool of players is already filtered by class, and filtered again by education.
You’re left with — well, Christian Pulisic…

Today I’ll work a 9-hour day to pay for illegals to have free housing and healthcare. Most of my paycheck will go to taxes , my inflated mortgage and my insanely high health insurance costs—my taxes will fund fraud, global communism, and illegal border hoppers. I’ll put away a measly amount so my children can hope to one day afford college, while the illegals who just showed up here will go for free. My American children will be paying loans well into their 30s while they compete with debt-free foreign invaders for a low-paying job outside their degree.
This is the new American dream brought to us by criminal politicians and corrupt judges. 🇺🇸 🆘
Have you noticed that liberal justices suddenly call unborn babies ‘people with full rights’ the moment the topic changes from abortion to immigration?
Today is the perfect GOP summary: They “won” a sports thing that should have been easy to solve without the Supreme Court & lost a consequential birthright citizenship decision that is 100x more important because Trump picked a female, pro-lockdown judge during Covid mania.
We can't rule them, because that's colonization. If we don't feed them, it's murder. Nietzsche himself could not have ever foreseen this level of "white guilt" and slave morality.
