Imagine seeing getting viciously assaulted by the police but your first thought is about black people. Racists are very miserable and obsessive ppl damn

Cold blooded murder just for shoplifting.

Pigs protect property and profits, not people. It’s becoming tiresome to keep repeating this for those of you in fucking delusion.

يُعتبر هذا المشهد واحد من أكثر الجرائم رُعباً في كل تاريخ الحروب

لحظة قيام جندي إسرائيلي بقنص سيدة مُسنة في غزة وهي تُمسك بيد حفيدها رافعين الراية البيضاء وبعد أن قام جيش الاحتلال بإعطائهم الأمان للمرور

النسيان جريمة.

This is why you should never have innate respect for vets. You don’t know what they’ve done or who they are. I guarantee you you’ve thanked at least 1 murderous psychopath in your life.

Wait.

This is happening and THE DEMOCRATS ARE TOO BUSY ATTACKING A STREAMER TO FIGHT IT?

I hate @RepJeffries and his merry band of Israeli bootlickers.

Democrats and Republicans who claim they hate each other when it’s time to pass a 2 trillion dollar aid package for Israel

This is the guy who just wrote that wordy, 8 paragraph statement assuring us he's ok after a fall left him unconscious.

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.
