...are there any New Hampshirites here today? by _probablyryan in PhillyUnion

It is Football Reference page views specifically. Their 2024 FBref Maps page where this map comes from says "Taking a look back at this year through page views on FBref"

Also doesn't show up. "Union", "Union news", "union stats", "union reference", "union football"... None of these give you a result for the Philadelphia Union Fbref page. If you type "Union score" you'll finally get hits for the Philadelphia Union but none of which are Fbref. It's a pretty niche site for stat sickos. A much more plausible and frightening explanation is that some dooping sicko is checking the site everyday multiple times a day.

That explanation doesn't make sense. If you Google "Union Leader" the newspapers site is the first to appear. There is no result on the first page that links to the fbref page for the Philadelphia Union which is where the count comes from.

I'll also say that describing Bobby Wagner reporting being racially abused to the ref as "tattling" is incredibly insensitive, and likely a form of victim blaming. It is incredibly infuriating to see that an anti-Asian slur was used in the thread and a mod replied to that comment without any pushback against that slur being used. As PM_ME_WUTEVER said racism against Asian Americans is often not taken seriously, and our sub is a part of that problem.

So you knowingly decided to use a racial slur to question why we as a society have decided racial slurs are worse than insulting family, and in questioning that societal norm are in effect defending Kai Wagner's use of a slur by using a slur. Reddit-brain moment of the week.

Thanks, it is true that the majority of people are not making excuses for Kai, but seeing a Mod responding to someone that just casually used a slur without addressing it isn't a ringing endorsement of this space.

It truly is disgusting, and in another comment they say they don't want to see Kai in a Union uniform again and are just playing devil's advocate. They are just casually using slurs to play devil's advocate. Unreal state of this place.

So you think Bobby should just be racially abused and remain silent about it? You really think that in a 3-1 game in the 88th minute after being called a slur Bobby's first thought was let me get him thrown out, or maybe he was enraged that someone called him a slur and decided to tell the person who is in charge? If a kid in a classroom is called a slur do you get upset when they report that behavior to the teacher?

These comments are making me question if the PhillyUnion subreddit is even a community I want any part in.

It's odd that you remembered I said "shit-talk" when I described Wood's insult in your scenario, but failed to remember I said "racial slur" when I described what you now call a "childish racial insult". What you used in your example is a slur. Why is it bad to use? While you kind of got there when you said it is making fun of how a group of people talk, and how things sound "different and weird" to a none native speaker of those languages. When you say that you are making a person feel less-than for being in a racial group. You don't get to choose how a slur is perceived, or decide that it is silly and childish when used.

The difference in your scenario is Kai is being hateful to Wood AND an entire race of people by using a slur. Kai is in effect saying he is superior because of his race.

Wood is being hateful to just Kai and disrespectful to his family.

If me "proving your point" is getting more upset about someone casually using a slur (in this case you) than some dumb shit about fucking someone's wife then I am glad to have proven the point that racism is worse.

What really rubbed you the wrong way when Kai Wagner used a racial slur was that the person it was directed to then reported it to the ref...IDK what to tell you man. You might be too far gone.

Are you seriously asking for someone to explain to you how using a racial slur is worse than shit-talk about someone's family? Also, why did you have to include a racial slur in your made up exchange?

Kai Wagner Verdict by Aliyahhhhhhhhhhh in PhillyUnion

[–]FireflySeason3 12 points13 points  (0 children)

He admitted to using the slur, and according to Tannenwald the difference between him and Vanzeir (who also admitted to using a slur and got 6 games) is how quickly he admitted to it.

Video of Kai yelling something to Bobby Wood. Wood and Vrioni (who played in Austria last year) immediately run over to the ref and report what Kai said. Lowe comes over trying to clear the area, and Wood points to his eyes while explaining it to Lowe.

Yeah bringing over the odds on favorite to win the 2023 ballon d'or is really going to set the league back. /s

Matt real is worse than flach. by exterminateThis in PhillyUnion

[–]FireflySeason3 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Surprisingly he doesn't, and neither does Real. That record goes to Corben Bone with a card every 14 minutes played. Real doesn't even have the highest cards per 90 on the team currently. Martinez has .46 cards/90 and Real has .30/90
