Unsportsmanlike behavior from Argentine international Parades after the final whistle.
What could have annoyed him to this extent?

@JB_Goldstein Thinking of Erving Goffman, "the presentation of the self" seems perhaps more present in some physical activities than the quest behind the activity.
@JB_Goldstein Yes it's physical, but maybe in only a limited way...sort of akin to darts, in a way (which is more a game).
@JB_Goldstein It would be hard to create extensive criteria, but it ought to be more than just what one might expect --- i.e. not just a penguin, say, for the Pittsburg Penguins. That is representative as opposed to creative. But how to define creative would be harder.
End of a journey/quest for two teams...
Makes me wonder about religion in sport and how it may... or may not affect players and the way they compete.

History made 🔥
Great Britain's Josh Kerr roars to a world record in the men's mile, snapping a 27-year record in 3:42.66 at the London #DiamondLeague.

Unnerving data about some out-of-control sport fans
...and then there's more general post-game violence, to address, as well.

While football does not cause domestic abuse, stats show that incidents can spike during major tournaments. The 'Unspoken Stat' is called xV, and that stands for expected violence against women after the game. A study by Lancaster University has shown that domestic abuse incidents can rise by 38% when England lose and 26% even when England win so the xV is a frightening statistic, and we can all help.
Support and information is available from domestic abuse charities @ichoosefreedomcharity & @leedswomensaid or you can call the national domestic abuse helpline number on 0808 2000 #TheUnspokenStat

Interesting thought for the day... or for many days

The tradeoff in sport looks like this
We embrace sacrifice through pain in the body and shame in defeat for the chance to display the best of ourselves and momentarily touch perfection
Your soul cries for this trade, don't be afraid to make it
Some great images from the grandest tennis, Wimbledon.
What makes it a grand tournament? The prize ceremony? The general aura? The strawberries?

An unforgettable Women's Final at @Wimbledon. Two outstanding performances. Congratulations Linda Nosková on a remarkable Wimbledon Championship! 🎾
What a World Cup. What a story.
A nation of just 5.6 million people walked onto football’s biggest stage and refused to be intimidated.
Norway didn’t just compete. We inspired. We shocked the world by eliminating Brazil, pushed England to the limit, and proved that courage, unity, and belief can stand toe to toe with football’s greatest powers.
But the players weren’t the only ones who won hearts.
Norwegian supporters showed the world that numbers don’t define passion. Outnumbered in almost every stadium, they still managed to be heard. Their songs echoed through the stands, proving that a united voice can be louder than the biggest crowd.
This World Cup reminded us why football is still the world’s game.
It belongs to everyone. The young and the old. The rich and the poor. The giants and the underdogs. It brings people together across borders, cultures, and generations in a way few things ever can.
Yes, there have been controversies. Some believe politics and outside interests have found their way into football, while others feel too few are willing to stand up against it. Those debates will continue.
But they should never overshadow what truly matters.
The players who give everything for their countries. The supporters who travel across the world to sing for ninety minutes. The children dreaming of wearing their nation’s shirt one day.
That is football.
No system, no boardroom, no corporation, and no individual should ever be allowed to take that away. Don’t let politics, power, or division overshadow what makes this sport so special.
Football belongs to the people. Always has. Always will.
I have never been prouder to be Norwegian. Our players and our supporters have shown the world what it means to believe, to stand together, and to cheer each other on no matter the odds. Let this World Cup be remembered for bringing people together through football, not for driving them apart.
Thank you, Norway. Thank you to every supporter who sang their heart out. You reminded the world why we all fell in love with this beautiful game.

This special issue aims to reflect on the central preoccupation of McFee’s work, namely, the contextual understanding of sport and the implications of that for our ability to dissolve philosophical puzzlement as it arises in relation to matters in sport.
