Narrative systems. How stories and behavior collide — on screen and in real life.

another day in the bay...

[kenny @thecopysession]

@NeymarCiteh @Mr_Obscura @TheRyenRussillo @DraftKings Nothing much…

Apparently you don’t need to have great athleticism to play soccer…

Not about that, right?

[kenny @thecopysession]

Sure.

Only proves population isn’t enough.

You need a competitive culture, incentives, development pipelines, coaching infrastructure, and institutional focus.

America wins on those fronts.

That’s literally my argument.

America exports sports culture better than almost anyone.

It’s also why we don’t care about soccer.

[kenny @thecopysession]

@Mr_Obscura @TheRyenRussillo @DraftKings It’s definitely MY argument…

They don’t leave it exclusively at LeBron?

Who else do they name genius?

FUCK IT. I’ll give you a name…. JJ Barea!

Even a fucking American bench player in the NBA would dog your half athletes.

[kenny @thecopysession]

@JuveLA_ Did I say anything about big guys with muscles?

Uh oh? Who’s delusional now Pepe la poop

[kenny @thecopysession]

@letsBet23 @TheRyenRussillo @DraftKings Even so, Americans average height is well below 6ft.

Sorry, we’d dominate the half sport too

[kenny @thecopysession]

@letsBet23 @TheRyenRussillo @DraftKings I would have granted them that…

Then I double checked… thanks for playin tho.

[kenny @thecopysession]

@JuveLA_ @TheRyenRussillo @DraftKings Idk about that… italians seemed pretty fucking delusion about fascism at one point.

Remember? Mussolini? Hitler?

Seems that about AS delusional as it gets.

[kenny @thecopysession]

@le__dauphin @TheRyenRussillo @DraftKings It’s not hypothetical… America already dominates!

I’m saying we would continue to dominate in a world where we actually gave a fuck about your sport… en masse

[kenny @thecopysession]

@YTllcu @TheRyenRussillo @DraftKings Fair enough.

I remember the first time I heard logic too.

I had a milder reaction though

[kenny @thecopysession]

For exactly the reason I’m saying America would be competitive on this, based on our culture!

American influence over the game of basketball globally has cause you guys to build better systems for basketball internationally.

You guys care what we play.

We don’t give a fuck about soccer

😂

[kenny @thecopysession]

@dingarigato @TheRyenRussillo @DraftKings How am I bringing that far too much to physical ability? Which elite athlete did I name?

Unless you’re saying Zidane, Messi, Iniesta, Ronaldo etc aren’t elite athletes or competitors and what makes them great, IN AN ATHLETIC ENDEAVOR, is not their athletic ability?

[kenny @thecopysession]

It is really part of the debate, though.

To make the thought experiment as non-hypothetical as possible, you eventually have to ask which existing elite athletes would’ve ended up in soccer had they entered that development pipeline instead.

The broader point is about incentives, coaching, infrastructure, and a larger talent pool.

But the first place people naturally look is the athletes we already know are elite competitors.

Truly. And it’s a shame there are so few heartfelt films like this centering Black male friendship.
