Let me be clear I’m not a Bryson fan but Rory you’re such a hypocrite with that comment, throwing and breaking clubs and taking fans phones, as well as skipping PGA events to practice for majors and then begging for golden boy exemptions and you’re talking about “performative”
Agree with this take. The inconsistency around who gets the rules enforced is brutal. The best players in the field have slow motion 4k zoomed in cameras on every shot.. and if they’re finding rule infractions based off that footage, that’s crazy.
Rory’s comment about Bryson was really a complete bitch move from a guy who’s thought he’s too good for 80% of the pga events this season. Complete disappointment.
@ForePlayPod Maybe the most hypocritical quote in all of sports history. If there’s one person who is more performative and demands attention, especially when he’s doing bad, than Bryson it’s Rory
@STLBluesChirp Think it’s more his presence than his stats. We’re a smaller market team who pride ourselves on an identity that he matches exactly. He’s a great leader and does a lot for the community, and seems to love playing here. His stats are also great for a middle six winger.
Hockey: You punched someone in the face several times? Take a 5 minute breather and you can come back in the game.
Soccer: You accidentally stepped on someone's ankle? You're kicked out and suspended for the next game.
Soccer is soft.
This is why Americans don’t care about this fuck ass sport dude. He’s obviously trying to play the ball but because the dude song and danced as if he’d had his leg blown off, it’s reviewed and Balogun is gone for the rest of this game AND the next.
1) It is possible that I don’t know enough and that’s a perfectly reasonable red card in World Cup play.
2) That call is why soccer will never catch all the way on in the US. To have a guy booted AND then miss a game for that is an outrage.
My son asked me “why is he getting kicked out.” And I said “because he stepped on that guy’s foot.” And then I realized how insane that is.
