Soccer, Sports and Politics - Part Deux

Probably a Dawg Nation member (didnt know that was a thing) who tweeted "as part of his deal, Miami will take him out to the Everglades daily & sit him on a lily pad so he can catch flies"

 

Oh my!

 

This years version of Kyle McCord.

 

That was a point made by most. The people that ran the NCAA were all the athletes from the non money making sports making decisions on the money making sports. "All I got was a scholarship so that's all they should get too." That Ed O'Bannon lawsuit forever changed the game.

 

75 yr old Luke Appling goes yard in 1982 old timers game. Had one of those great baseball nicknames "Old Aches & Pains" for complaining about various minor injuries

 

Female athletes in bikinis is always a good money maker. Sexist but true. So some of them will have insta accounts and such will be compensated.

 

What happen to names like Jack and James. Stetson, Chance, Colt! What is going on in the South!!

 

Leave my Cuse boys alone. We don't suck for once, can we just enjoy the moment.

 

The UK domino's Twitter account is ruthless

 

All they ever had to do was say, "If you find me physically attractive, don't speak to me. I don't want anything to do with someone who thinks I'm pretty. I am a woman with a mind and there is no reason you should be thinking about any other part of me".

Nobody but a creepy rapist type would miss that message. And nobody but a bitter-ass hag would send it.

Finding the opposite sex attractive goes in both directions. Women with agency and independence have appearance standards. They're not dating ugly guys any more than men don't date someone they think is unattractive. There's nothing sexist about wanting to see well built women dressed skimpily. But there IS something sexist out there (the fact that most women earn less money, and our double standard environment that tells them even today what "proper behavior" is for a female) that keeps women from doing the same.

Instead of sweeping the dessert off the table and onto the floor, let her taste the dessert (IOW, support them ogling us and whatever else). She'll stop claiming it's full of hemlock, and she'll pig out with you.

 

Areta's post game today.....

You [Arsenal] deserve to win the game by a mile but the reality is we are out and that is the only thing that's going to be judged".

 

We need to find out why no English skipper has ever won the Premier League. Is it a lack of testosterone perhaps? They became "too woke"?

 

The Dan Snyder's curse has been finally lifted......The Commanders have won their first playoff game since 2006! Nice showdown with the Lions next weekend.

Not that anyone in this forum spends any time looking at them....

 

Wasn't there a pay-to-ride scandal a few years back?

I found it...

William Singer, who ran the California company, called Key Worldwide Foundation, was charged with racketeering, money laundering, obstruction of justice and conspiracy to defraud the United States. Singer, according to Lelling, laundered money he received from parents under the guise of charitable donations. He is one of two charged as co-conspirators who Lelling said he expected to enter guilty pleas Tuesday.

“Between 2011 and 2018, wealthy parents paid Singer about $25 million in total to guarantee their children’s admission to elite schools such as Yale, Georgetown, Stanford, USC, University of Texas, UCLA and Wake Forest,” said Lelling, adding, “We're not talking about donating a building so that a school's more likely to take your son or daughter. We're talking about deception and fraud."

“These parents are a catalog of wealth and privilege,” added Lelling. “They include, for example, CEOs of private and public companies, successful securities and real estate investors, two well-known actresses, a famous fashion designer and a co-chair of a global law firm.”

Lelling implicated the head women’s soccer coach at Yale who “in exchange for $400,000 accepted an applicant as a recruit for the Yale women’s team despite knowing the applicant did not even play competitive soccer.”

Others charged include a senior associate athletic director at the University of Southern California (USC), Wake Forest’s women’s volleyball coach, tennis coaches from Georgetown and Texas, Stanford’s sailing coach and the coaches of USC’s men’s and women’s soccer and water polo teams. According to the indictment, they were allegedly bribed "to designate applicants as purported athletic recruits — regardless of their athletic abilities, and in some cases, even though they did not play the sport, they were purportedly recruited to play."

What's Tony Adams then, Greek? Steve Bruce and Bryan Robson were Italian cousins? Tim Sherwood's French, is he? Tony Adams again but this time he's become a naturalised Swede presumably. John Terry is from Tokyo Terry's I assume. Gary Neville was born in Idaho?

Shall I go on?

Club captains are often chosen to be English over here because it's thought, (probably correctly), that they'll have a better connection with the fans.

 

True. I meant to write managers but brainfarted
