"The success of the US mens national soccer team comes in spite of Trump, not because of him. Half of the roster is made up of dual citizenship holders, foreign-born players, and children of immigrants. Coach Mauricio Pochettino is Argentine. This team is a repudiation of everything Trump stands for and is working towards. It could never exist in the world that Trump has tried to bring about with his brutal immigration crackdowns and isolationist foreign policy. You can’t take credit for the success of the team while simultaneously trying to eliminate the conditions necessary for it to exist."

The Celtics sale tells you a lot about where sports ownership is heading.

A private equity firm financed the deal.

And they negotiated preferred shares, meaning the PE firm gets paid back before other owners, and changes the power of who runs the team.

This is digging Alexi Lalas’s grave, burying him in it and then pissing on said grave.

Holy shit.

New York Times investigative journalists Jonathan Swan and Maggie Haberman are this generation's Woodward and Bernstein.

This story is Trump's Watergate and it's about to EXPLODE:

Vice President JD Vance, White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, former Attorney General Pam Bondi, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, White House Counsel David Warrington, FBI Director Kash Patel, Deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, and former Deputy Chief of Staff Taylor Budowich converted the hallowed Situation Room — America's nerve center for real threats and decisive action — into a pedophile protection racket, where top officials huddled to cover-up the Epstein files scandal and protect a president who used to rape children for fun.

⚡️The deeper signal is youth risk did not disappear.

It migrated inward.

Teen drinking fell because the old physical world of adolescence got dismantled. Alcohol belonged to a social ecosystem: unsupervised time, cars, parties, local jobs, malls, basements, boredom, flirting, older siblings, house gatherings, and the chaotic peer world where teenagers learned who they were by colliding with other people in real space.

That ecosystem was replaced by phones, surveillance, parental tracking, algorithmic entertainment, social anxiety, online status games, and a much thinner physical commons.

So the surface looks healthier. Fewer kids drinking. Fewer kids using weed. Fewer kids doing reckless things in public.

The hidden layer looks worse. The young are less reckless because they are less socially embodied. Less initiation. Less unsupervised friction. Less courage-building. Less embarrassment and recovery. Less real dating. Less independence. Less contact with the physical world before adulthood demands it.

The old teenage world produced damage, stupidity, alcohol abuse, pregnancy risk, fights, accidents, and bad decisions. No need to romanticize it. But it also produced social reps. It forced young people through discomfort. It made them practice attraction, rejection, conflict, reputation, risk, repair, and status in the open.

The new world suppresses visible risk while increasing invisible fragility.

That is the trade.

A teenager can avoid drinking, avoid parties, avoid sex, avoid driving, avoid real confrontation, avoid rejection, avoid shame, avoid danger, and still arrive at 23 emotionally underbuilt. Cleaner behavior does not automatically mean stronger formation.

This is why the marriage chart and the teen drinking chart are the same story at different stages. People are not suddenly failing to pair in adulthood. The whole pathway into embodied adulthood has been slowing for years before marriage even becomes the question.

The real truth: society solved part of the teen vice problem by shrinking the arena where teenagers become adults.

It took away the dangerous commons and replaced it with controlled isolation.

The result is safer kids with weaker initiation into real life.

When Donald Trump heard Robert Mueller had died he posted “Good, I’m glad he’s dead”

When Donald Trump heard Robert Reiner had been brutally murdered along with his wife in his own home…
Trump said “I bet he died because he had Trump Derangement Syndrome”

When Donald Trump heard Paul Pelosi had been savagely attacked with a hammer, his skull fractured and almost died…
Trump got on stage, mocked the attack and everyone laughed.

Donald Trump accused 5 Congressional Democrats of Treason…

Trump said they should be “Put to Dearth”

Donald Trump accused his hand picked Chairman of the Joint Chiefs General Mark Milley of treason…

Trump said General Milley should be executed.

Trump encouraged his followers to attack the Capitol on January 6th and overturn the election results.

His supporters attacked the Capitol, built a Gallow and looked to execute Mike Pence and Nancy Pelosi.

Trump stood by for 186 Minutes and let the violence ensue.

Hundreds of Capitol Police Officers were injured.

4 Capitol Police Officers Died.

Trump has encouraged his supporters to “Knock the hell out of them” referencing protestors at his rallies.

Trump even stated he pay their legal fees.

This is the same motherfucker calling for the firing of Jimmy Kimmel because of a comedy skit.

The same motherfucker who just had James Comey arrested for posting a meme on Twitter.

If anyone needs to tone down the rhetoric.

It’s this piece of shit.

At Sunday’s press conference, Red Sox owner John Henry was a no-show to explain the organization’s most stunning change in years.

Sure, Henry — who last spoke in a conference after the 2020 Mookie Betts trade — doesn’t owe the media anything.

But what about the players?

Alex Cora didn’t trade Mookie Betts.
Alex Cora didn’t miss out on multiple big-name free agent signings.
Alex Cora didn’t lowball Alex Bregman.

Alex Cora was asked to manage a team whose “leader” is a 22 year-old kid with 9 career homers.

Sell the team.

[Erik Boland @eboland11]

Don't cover the Red Sox (obviously) but can say this with 100 % certainty when it comes to the industry: Alex Cora is, overwhelmingly, considered far better at his job than Craig Breslow is at his. And it's not remotely close.
