In watching the clip below of Danya's last stream and hearing the pain in his voice, how deeply the baseless accusations affected him, I am left so mad at what we all allowed to happen right in front of us.
It's time to stop worrying about the backlash. I am calling on the FIDE EDC to remove Vladimir Kramnik from the FIDE record books, revoke his title, and disqualify his world championship. Chess is one of the most beloved games in the world and should be a place for kindness and inclusion. It should be unilaterally unacceptable to use a platform that Chess has given you to bully, harass, and slander a colleague. What Kramnik has done to David Navara, Hikaru, and Danya, and others can not be tolerated.
It is up to our community and the governing body to set an example that this type of behavior will have consequences. Make it known loud and clear that Chess stands against these hateful acts. If you do them intentionally and maliciously there will be no place for you in our game.
FIDE and it's EDC must establish clear policies moving forward around the safety of it's players both in person and digitally. The events leading up to this tragedy happened in broad daylight over the last 18 months. They could have been stopped. Nothing like this can ever be allowed to happen again.
@leftythfc I started watching the club when Dempsey transferred. Then watching Gareth Bale made me fall in love with the club. Even though he left after a year, I was too hooked to stop. And the love just grew over the years.

But do you know who just got a NEW government contract for $38,858,978 literally today?

@AlasdairGold This is my biggest complaint about Levy. It starts at the top and the culture flows down. If it's good enough to work hard and get close to transfers, but not actually accomplish anything, then what does it say to the rest of the club?
@SB8308715342770 Spence for sure. I'd like to see Bergvall get some minutes on the wing too if we are still short handed. I think he's a better dribbler then a lot of our other options
@JacoCats He has to be tried on the wing. He would instantly be our best dribbler out there(if you wanted to delay second to Moore, I wouldn't argue though)
There is an extremely stupid chart being circulated right now to imply election fraud (posted below).
We are at 87% reporting, there will still be millions of votes coming in.
2020 was a fair election. 2024 seemed to be a fair election. We need to stop implying otherwise.
Mark Cuban explains how Trump started the high inflation:
In April 2020, in the early days of Covid, the gas prices were $1.87. Oil companies went to Trump and said: we're getting crushed. You have to talk to your friends MBS and Putin and ask them to reduce production. And he did. That was the day inflation started
@JacoCats I think he should be rotated in order to give him a break returning from international duty and then started the next week. He clearly gets worn down from time to time due to the minutes he plays for club and country. It seems like a good time to give him a break to me
@Tweetgood_Mac I don't think it's Porro. In my opinion he's a "big moments" player with the knack for coming up with decisive assists and goals. I just don't know who else to pick besides him.
