George Lopez: “I don’t follow the Lakers anymore. Mark Walter owns detention centers, runs them for profit. Also owns the Dodgers. As soon as I found that out, I disassociated myself from the Dodgers and the Lakers. I lost two teams in one week”
“TEXAS IS CHEAPER THAN CALIFORNIA”
Rent
Los Angeles: $2,656
Dallas: $1,588
Minimum wage
Los Angeles: $18.42/hr
Texas: $7.25/hr
Hours worked for rent
Los Angeles: 2656 ÷ 18.42 = 144
Dallas: 1588 ÷ 7.25 = 219
You have to work 50% more to afford rent in Texas. That’s more than two weeks EVERY month.
Let that sink in
🚨🗣️ José Mourinho on the refereeing in Argentina's 3-2 victory over Cape Verde:
"We are watching a script, not a football match. Cape Verde did not just play against eleven men from Argentina tonight, they played against the referee, they played against the system, and they played against the entire agenda of the tournament.
When you are a small nation, you have to be perfect to win. But when you are Argentina, you are allowed to make mistakes because the whistle will always save you. Every 50/50 challenge went one way. Every time Cape Verde built momentum, there was a convenient foul given. A 111th-minute own goal? The pressure was artificially created. It breaks my heart for Cape Verde because they were absolute warriors, but in modern football, being a warrior is not enough when the result has already been decided in an office."
🚨🗣️ Zlatan Ibrahimović on Fox Sports:
They overturned Cristiano's 3 match suspension. They didn't send off 2 Portugal players against DR Congo for Red card offense.
Few days ago They disallowed a legitimate Colombia winning goal and now they disallowed a Croatia's goal that could have won them the match.
Why is FIFA giving Cristiano Ronaldo and Portugal so much favoritism?
Each proposed change makes it clear that the owners have no intention to negotiate in good faith. A salary cap, offloading development, and limiting contracts indicate that cutting costs is paramount and that competitive balance is an afterthought. They do not care about baseball
but I was told by Major League Baseball that a salary capped league meant that all owners can afford to run their businesses, so they won’t need to cry poor for more taxpayer handouts?
13 years ago today, David Ortiz picked up a microphone instead of a baseball bat, and went from Red Sox superstar to Boston superhero.
And the FCC didn’t fine him.
As Coachella comes to a close — I do want to give a shoutout to Karol G.
I’ve watched her closing set both weekends, and you can really feel the heart and pride for her culture throughout.
Super high energy, and I’ve personally enjoyed both shows a ton. Love finding music I might not have discovered otherwise. 🦉
