But it’s disingenuous at best to say that if you gave US soccer the full US talent pool that the team wouldn’t be much much different.

[B Martin @b_ez57]

2 things can be true. One is that US soccer far from gets our best athletes, whether that be the astronomical prices of youth soccer and the terrible US system or the lack of professional popularity. 2nd truth is that these are some of the best American athletes.

Soccer is the hardest sport in the world to play. To put it in perspective you can take any active NBA/NFL player and they would not one who be able to get by me and score I haven’t touched a ball in 3 years. I’d put 100k on it.

It’s hilarious how bad a top NFL or NBA player looks tryna play soccer 😂

The US starting 11 are some of the best athletes the country has don’t fantasize about how good these other athletes would be at soccer prolly not that good.

Yall didn’t watch the end of the show/manga and im convinced of that.

SIXERS FREE AGENT TARGET — Collin Gillespie

📝 12.7 PTS
📝 4.6 AST
📝 4.1 REB
📝 41.8% FG
📝 40.1% 3PT

Gillespie had a breakout year in a larger role with Phoenix, looking like a potentially ideal backup guard fit for the Sixers. 👍

I ain’t seen a singular minute of this show after Kordell and Serena so I can’t speak the the tweet itself but they frying you💀

Hoodie on in the water is the craziest sight in this video

Chris Simms is a grifter cause he does this with Lamar but will in the same breath call Jalen Hurts everything short of a slur.

[Sarah Ellison @sgellison]

Chris Simms checked Mike Florio while talking about Lamar Jackson's career arc.

I got a question for Black Twitter. Is it just me, or do Martha Munizzi and Teena Marie occupy a similar corner of your brain?

@UP_Caine @popsbabyiv @nerdnecksteve @ZiggySmalls_ The point of data is to use it in the context in which it makes sense. If we were having a convo about an artist’s impact, the sales numbers would be an important part of that convo. Numbers matter, but contextually.

[B Martin @b_ez57]

@UP_Caine @popsbabyiv @nerdnecksteve @ZiggySmalls_ The point is getting into the weeds with it. Tell me why you like vanilla ice, break down his bars, talk about his musicality, his beat selection etc etc. we might not agree but that’s a healthy convo.

[B Martin @b_ez57]

@popsbabyiv @UP_Caine @nerdnecksteve @ZiggySmalls_ You realize you can mute the convo if you tired of engaging.

[B Martin @b_ez57]

@UP_Caine @popsbabyiv @nerdnecksteve @ZiggySmalls_ You aren’t arguing the fact here tho you are arguing about the nuances that lead to those facts. Or the possible lack of context of said data

[B Martin @b_ez57]

@UP_Caine @popsbabyiv @nerdnecksteve @ZiggySmalls_ But here’s the thing, sports has objective metrics to measure someone’s skill. There is a point to playing a sport, to win a match. For art that “goal” is much more vague. Hence the subjective nature of it.

[B Martin @b_ez57]

@UP_Caine @popsbabyiv @nerdnecksteve @ZiggySmalls_ Differences of opinion are quite literally the only reason debate exists.

[B Martin @b_ez57]

@UP_Caine @popsbabyiv @nerdnecksteve @ZiggySmalls_ Thing is tho, people will and have. If numbers are all that matters, then how do people have discussions about indie art? Or songs that are great, but no one knows about? If you want to add objective metrics to a discussion about subjective topic, frame your discussion that way.

[B Martin @b_ez57]

@UP_Caine @popsbabyiv @nerdnecksteve @ZiggySmalls_ I’ve already covered why I think the action of having conversations has merit in it of itself. If you don’t agree with that, that’s fine.

[B Martin @b_ez57]

@UP_Caine @popsbabyiv @nerdnecksteve @ZiggySmalls_ When it comes to music, yes. That’s exactly what I’m saying. I don’t think it applies universally.

[B Martin @b_ez57]

@popsbabyiv @nerdnecksteve @ZiggySmalls_ lol I’m not trying to be different. I love all kinds of popular music. I just realize nobody’s opinion on art is necessarily trumping anyone else’s. If someone thinks MF Doom is their rap goat, who am I to say no simply because he ain’t sell that well?
