This week Disney released a new CD, featuring a rapping Mickey Mouse.
To avoid controversy, the CD will not include the controversial hit single, "Cat Killer."
@Grimmjow6th50@DylMillz1994@gehrenbergdfs But we are smart enough not give NBA the refs to suspend players over incidental contact. Soccer apparently is not smart enough to do that.
@raz_cfc@DylMillz1994@gehrenbergdfs Liar. Can you show me instances of NBA players being kicked out of games, teams playing one man down and losing players for an additional game due to incidental contact?
@unknownre02p0@DylMillz1994@gehrenbergdfs No comparison. He was kicked out of the game, the team had to play short handed and lost the player for the next game. In US games refs aren’t given that kind of power in a case of accidental contact because it is stupid to do so.
@neyprotagonist@DylMillz1994@gehrenbergdfs I guess you’ve never seen American football, hockey or basketball. People suffer accidental injuries all the time but corrupt refs aren’t given the power to swing games and entire tournaments.
A man (Samantha Tempest, here abbreviated to ST) is arguing in court that he belongs in a group for menopausal women. It is pointed out to him that menopause is the cessation of ovulation and that, being a man who never started, let alone ceased, ovulating he does not belong in such a group. He disagrees. He says he's had 'menopausal symptoms' like hot flushes and brain fog. This is like me claiming to have been in the army because I once shot an air rifle and quite like khaki.
Mauricio Pochettino on Folarin Balogun's red card while Lionel Messi escaped a red card for a similar challenge against Algeria:
🗣️ “I completely understand why American fans are furious. They're not asking for special treatment they're asking for consistency. If Balogun is sent off for that challenge, then explain why a similar incident involving Lionel Messi against Algeria wasn't judged the same way. Football cannot survive on two different rulebooks.”
“The referee and VAR have created more questions than answers. Millions of people have watched the replays and are all asking the same thing: where is the consistency? That's the real issue. The players deserve clarity, not confusion.”
“When supporters lose faith in the decisions, football has a serious credibility problem. The officials are supposed to reduce controversy, not become the biggest story after the match. Tonight, they've overshadowed the players.”
“Balogun's World Cup has been damaged by one decision, and now an entire nation feels cheated. FIFA cannot continue ignoring these situations. The fans deserve answers, the players deserve fairness, and football deserves officials who apply the same standard to everyone no matter who you are.”
“I am furious with the referee and VAR because this isn't just a mistake it changes careers and tournaments. They had every angle, every replay and every opportunity to correct it, yet they still arrived at a decision that has left millions questioning the integrity of the process. That's simply unacceptable on the biggest stage in football.”
“The hardest part is that the referee will move on to the next game, VAR will move on to the next review, but Folarin Balogun and the USA will have to live with the consequences of this decision forever. That's why people are angry. Football should be decided by the players, not by officials making headlines for the wrong reasons.”
