The autopsy of the USMNT defeat is being way over analyzed. Americans don’t like soccer and they really don’t like losing international competition. Simple as.
@SpikeEskin Doesn’t matter that I missed the game. The important thing is that I wanted to play in it. If the circumstances were completely different, I would have been in the game and played great.
Comedians originated the gamer thing of demanding that what they do be considered important, vital, and serious art while also demanding you hold it to no standards whatsoever and don’t engage with the ideas it contains.
@SpikeEskin@BobbyMarks42 I think the emphasis should be on “impracticable” rather than “extraordinary event.” The birth of a child is not an impracticable circumstance for a father to play in an NBA game. The word implies an impossibility.
@johnfruz@MattBruenig@ThePowerWoker The logic is not that penalties should be against the law. Even so, an NHL player has been criminally charged for game violence.
