@DanWolken@YahooSports Sinner is just one player. He doesn’t represent all of the players. Also past players were quicker to not play slams cuz slams paid way less back then and it was better to skip slams for cash. Nothing to lose to do it. This is also why counting slams is dumb as is comparing eras.
@SahilBloom It’s not about consuming less news, it is about where from that you consume that news. Much of the traditional mainstream media today is far right wing extremism. You have to seek out traditional news.
@JacobFeldman4 Out of the very limited choices here, “Stars and Stripes” is by far the best choice if you are seeking honest feedback. Having some fun, “Murica” “Handsome Heartland” “Purple Mountains” “1776”
@richarddeitsch@paulsen_smw@crupicrupicrupi@SonOfTheBronx I just don’t get UFC/MMA in general, let alone combined with this. Any decent person that has have been in a fight and perhaps hurt someone else physically, knows fighting is a last resort, of protection and survival, not a sport. Damage for life is not to be celebrated.
@dgoold I am from STL. Grew up attending Mizzou games. I am not unaware of their college rivals. The professional sport preoccupation w/KC of a few local Mizzou media types, vs the big city rivals of much of my life is odd to me at best. I have zero rivalry feel w/KC, none.
@hochman STL people who live in a tiny Mizzou bubble:
We hate KC. Everyone else? I remember when the local sports rivals were the big cities like Chicago.
@AndrewMarchand This is what I kept saying about the Knicks home games. Just give me the game and players. It ruins the interest for me and that should not be happening. Fox is notoriously bad with it in multiple sports but the NBA finals have been atrocious with it.
@richarddeitsch $10 million, F/U money. I could probably do it for $5 million. Anything more is cake. The story is malignant narcissism as
well as the lack of empathy. There are way too many ppl in the U.S. with oh say $300 million who do little with it for others, let alone the billionaires.
@DanWolken No it is not amazing. When you root for sports teams as a fan, or when you cover sports teams as a journalist, you are most often not privy to their personal life away from sports. You are not personally close. You rooting for a jersey or image or covering a jersey or image.
@FootyScran Most U.S. professional stadiums are price gouging places. There are a few exceptions, but not many. You eat and drink immediately before and after games in the U.S. unless you don’t mind wasting a lot of money. Stadiums know enough people will pay it. Supply/Demand.
@richarddeitsch 8 to 12 or 10 to 12 yrs old really is when many develop their sports fandoms. And it is especially so if you had any good local teams to cheer for at that age. It is so often that age range.
