If your politics lead you to mock someone with special needs, get new politics and rethink your life.

[Rep. Brian Lorenz @lorenzforohio]

Had an amazing day with my son. He’s everything that’s good in this world. The cheap shots online just reveal more about those making them than about him, and I don’t mind them one bit.

Getting ready for AJ v. DP. Lower bowl already full.

[Tyler G. Page @tpageMLS]

Oh man, I like DP. Dude talks about getting W’s in summer league.

NBA players need a combination of unique talent and a strong drive to win. We’ve seen the talent on tape, but the underlying drive is exciting!!!

[Ryan Smith @RyanQualtrics]

Unique view into player/coach relationship. Great stuff from Coach Will and DP... https://t.co/ZfYj8WV3fd via @YouTube

The enemy of your enemy may, in fact, be your enemy too.

[Sarah Isgur @whignewtons]

Bad guys often agree with your politics.

We need more people voting in primaries who think a person’s qualifications to hold a position of public trust include more than angry vitriol directed at our political opponents.

Character matters. Vote like it.

Spotrac has it as 2 year league minimum deal. Jazz now with 15 on roster plus listed with 3 two-way. In other words, roster is full.

[Tyler G. Page @tpageMLS]

I’m betting year 2 is a team option. This seems to be Austin Ainge’s MO for filling out the roster, and it makes a ton of sense.

If the player is good, you get them on a cheap deal for year 2. If not, you can let them go. You also get easy salary to send in trades.

The Jazz struck a deal with Mark Bartelstein of @PrioritySports and Greer Love on Wednesday to bring back the 7-footer who spent part of last season in Utah.

If you told me the actual USMNT WC result...
- At end of 2022 - disappointment.
- 6 weeks ago - unbelievable success.

US Soccer failed the last four years, and the team still won hearts and minds. Yes, it was a missed opportunity, but it avoided the catastrophe many feared.

[Tyler G. Page @tpageMLS]

It was a good run. The bottom line is USA is a top 16 soccer country but not a top 8 one.

We will keep finding ourselves here until we can fix that. More players, more depth, tougher competition, and less drama.

Why not U.S.?

[Tyler G. Page @tpageMLS]

Let’s go USA!

[John Asghar MD @JahangirAsgha10]

The best article on the events and how US Soccer applied pressure appropriately by arguing FIFA’s own VAR protocol was misapplied. It argued slow-motion is only supposed to check the exact point of contact, not decide intent or how “serious” it looked in replay.

They filed a formal legal appeal and made it clear they were ready to take the whole thing to CAS (the Court of Arbitration for Sport in Switzerland).

FIFA feared going to CAS because of the validity of the claim and that they can lose control of appeals when under CAS.

[Tyler G. Page @tpageMLS]

Let’s be honest. FIFA was never going to do the right thing on its own to reform. The US situation has now given them an excuse. They should take it.

[Tyler G. Page @tpageMLS]

FIFA should use this correction of an obvious injustice to set a new precedent of actually reviewing red cards after matches.

I’m laughing at the Pandora’s box complaints. If FIFA joins every other sports body in the 21st century, where will it end?

[FOX Sports @FOXSports]

Zlatan speaks on Flo Balogun's suspension being lifted

@Ibra_official

[Ian Miller @ianmSC]

If the US beats Belgium I will not even remotely care in the slightest that Balogun was able to play after getting a ridiculous red card that should never have been given

[Sean Navarro @seanavarro]

I think the precedent is that officials need to follow FIFA regulations or else their illegal decisions will be rightfully overturned. The ref and VAR official didn't follow the rules with the red card decision.

[Tyler G. Page @tpageMLS]

@dilanesper Ahem. FIFA is openly corrupt, which is the biggest reason the card was suspect to begin with.

This is using one bad process to undo another one.

[Tyler G. Page @tpageMLS]

@Nicocantor1 @ZachIsHere Removing penalties after the fact has improved NBA officiating, not made it worse.

The goal is to get it right for the fans and players, not make a referee feel better.

[Tyler G. Page @tpageMLS]

Wow! FIFA is reaching the correct decision on something? Pinch me, I think I’m dreaming.

[Adam Crafton @AdamCrafton_]

BREAKING @TheAthleticFC

Folarin Balogun will be available to play the USMNT’s round of 16 match against Belgium with his one-game red-card ban suspended. Extraordinary development.
