Social Capital™️

I have never seen the plight of my generation articulated so well.

This is the core issue we must solve, we must provide abundant social capital to the next generation - using the levers of politics and private industry - or humanity as we know it will end.

[Conor McGregor @TheNotoriousMMA]

I believe in one God,
the Father Almighty,
Maker of heaven and earth,
of all things visible and invisible.

I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ,
the Only Begotten Son of God,
born of the Father before all ages.

God from God,
Light from Light,
true God from true God,
begotten, not made,
consubstantial with the Father;
through Him all things were made.

For us men and for our salvation
He came down from heaven,

and by the Holy Spirit
was incarnate of the Virgin Mary,
and became man.

For our sake He was crucified under Pontius Pilate,
He suffered death and was buried,
and rose again on the third day
in accordance with the Scriptures.

He ascended into heaven
and is seated at the right hand of the Father.

He will come again in glory
to judge the living and the dead,
and His kingdom will have no end.

I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the Lord, the Giver of life,
who proceeds from the Father and the Son,
who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified,
who has spoken through the prophets.

I believe in one, holy, catholic, and apostolic Church.

I confess one Baptism
for the forgiveness of sins,

and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead
and the life of the world to come.

Amen. 🙏🏼

Jalen Brunson's one ring in New York is worth more than both of Kevin Durant's.

Let me explain.

Durant had Westbrook and Harden entering their primes, Serge Ibaka next to him, and a Finals trip by age 23.

He never saw it through.

He joined a 73 win Warriors team instead. Arguably the best team already ever assembled. He didn't build anything. He didn't carry anything. He decided to be a bus rider instead of a bus driver.

Then he tried to be the guy in New York. Even picked his co-stars with Kyrie Irving and James Harden. He chose the alternate team in NYC to the Knicks and couldn't make it happen.

Brunson did the opposite.

Second-round pick. Too small. Too slow. The media torched the Knicks for building around him. Nobody thought he was a 1A.

He walked into New York anyway.

Took the criticism head-on. Never made an excuse. Never pointed at the roster. Just got to work.

Took a team that hadn't won a title in 53 years to the Finals. Went up against Wemby, over a foot taller, reigning DPOY, arguably the best player in the league.

Dropped 45 in a closeout game on the road with a shooting hand that needed surgery.

Kevin Durant has two rings. Both came with training wheels.

Jalen Brunson has one. It took everything.

The College Football community punked EA so hard they removed microtransactions from their game 😭

EA and microtransactions are legit the most unbreakable duo in the WORLD.

This community is the best on all of social media.

[Jersey Shore Knicks Guy @alwaysknicks11]

Every championship team needs a glue guy.

For the Knicks, that's Josh Hart.

His impact doesn't always show in the box score, and that's the point.

He can hit the jumper, he can put it on the floor, but his real value is the stuff that never gets graded.

All plays aren't equal.

One rebound on the stat sheet can be the rebound that breaks a team's spirit. One assist can be the one that breaks their confidence. One loose ball can flip a whole quarter.

Watch the clip. He's a heat seeking missile for every 50/50 ball. Never afraid to roll up his sleeves and get his hands dirty while everyone else is watching the flight of the shot.

Rings get won on possessions like these. The box score just doesn't know how to count them.

[Jersey Shore Knicks Guy @alwaysknicks11]

The Mikal Bridges trade is officially validated.

He cost the Knicks first round picks.

Two years of the media calling it a disaster and he never said a word. He just showed up. 709 straight games and counting.

People forget he's been here before. Up 2-0 on the Bucks in the 2021 Finals with Phoenix, then lost four in a row. You don't forget something like that. You learn it's 0-0 at all times, you stay desperate, you never let up.

That scar tissue showed up this June.

The Knicks went up 2-0 and never trailed the series once. Didn't matter. The doubt never stopped, every win came with a "yeah but." He guards the one of the other team's best players every night, makes the extra pass, never misses a game. The team is simply better when he's on the floor.

And then the ending. Winning it all with Brunson and Hart, his college teammates and best friends, while handing the biggest market in basketball its first title in 53 years.

Everyone doubted him for two years. Doubted the team while it was up the whole Finals.

That weight is gone now.

Sneaking micro transactions into single player modes lets me know everything i need to about where EA wants to take both football titles in the future

That’s why it’s now or never to make a change. Taking the game in that direction is going to ruin all of the support and love you have built from this community. Do what’s right @EASPORTSCollege

My debut World Cup… it hurts to wait 4 years to compete at the highest level our sport has to offer. I want to say sorry to our fans it was not good enough when it mattered most and we let you down

Soccer in America will only become bigger the belief, the talent, and the passion is continually growing and I know the best days are in front of us, the future belongs to those who never stop believing, this moment will fuel us. We will be back

Why not us?

For the nation. For the flag.

In Germany, a talented 14-year-old earns his club money. In America, his parents pay the club $15,000 a year.

That single inversion explains why "we will not" is the most accurate line ever written about US soccer.

FIFA built a global system for this. Training compensation and solidarity payments send a cut of every transfer fee back to the clubs that developed the player, from age 12 onward. Develop one future pro and your academy gets paid for a decade. Barcelona's La Masia, Ajax, every Bundesliga academy runs on this logic. The kid is the asset.

US Soccer refuses to enforce those rules. When Seattle's Crossfire Premier claimed its $60,000 share of DeAndre Yedlin's transfer to Tottenham, it got nothing. Claims on the Dempsey and Bradley transfers died partly because the federation couldn't even produce the youth training records.

So American clubs earn zero dollars when a kid turns pro. They earn when a kid enrolls. Which makes the parent the customer, and the product is whatever keeps the parent writing checks: travel tournaments, hotel weekends, $500 showcase events, private training at $100 an hour. Elite pathways run $8,000 to $20,000 a year. A comparable academy spot in Italy costs about 120 euros.

Follow the incentive one level deeper and it gets darker. A club dependent on fees can't cut its weakest paying players, so rosters optimize for retention over development. The scouting pool shrinks to families who can afford the cliff, which appears around age 11, exactly when development matters most. The country runs a talent filter sorted by household income instead of ability.

Every four years someone proposes fixing this. The proposal always requires the people profiting from the $15,000 model to vote themselves out of business.

They will not.
