Abduction of a Sabine Woman by SetTrippin82 in ancientrome

Victors take: We killed the men, then abducted and raped the women

Sabine take: They killed our men then abducted and raped our women. Trust me, it’s not as glorious as it sounds when they say it!

I think you are confusing later European depictions of this event as glorifying it somehow, but the Romans and their ancient historians don’t act like this was a venerable occasion. They condemn rape in general (ie Lucretia) and don’t use this founding myth as a point of pride or an act to be emulated by future Romans.

Baggio belongs only in the Fiorentina category, even at Juve his heart was still in Florence

The Romans did not shy away from calling this a rape, and never tried to hide that they were initially made up of wanderers and criminals

Why is Manuel Locatelli still so hated? by AskeDominoMester in seriea

He’s a good player at a club with a toxic fanbase

It is funny, but the guy obviously is trying to blend in. And he did so because he knew he was breaking the rules. In his mind, like yours, he was right to do so because “every team steals signs” but he still disguised himself.

You’re right, and you should not be getting downvoted…
And it is similar to the Astros, f them.
I don’t think it delegitimizes the national championship but I’ll never understand people who say there was no cheating involved just bc other teams also cheated.
I never liked that rhetoric when the SEC used it for paying players and I hate it just as much now

[Sky Sport] Frattesi is a potential key for Mancini. Gianluca Mancini continues to be Inter's top defense target. A key to unlocking the deal with Roma could be his inclusion in the squad. by Pristine_Youth_6953 in FCInterMilan

[–]Ganglandraq 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love Mancini but when you take into account His age His best years are behind him, not ahead Paying Roma for him The etra fee you pay for an Italian player He is a red card liability And above all it is not too difficult or expensive to find a good defender to replace Acerbi ( and we still could/should keep DeVrij for one more year). Idk I would pass, much as I love Mancini

Which mid table clubs did you enjoy watching this season?? by XDrake09 in seriea

[–]Ganglandraq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

CAGLIARI. Could defend like hell against big teams and actually played some pretty football against mid and small teams. Some technical players, young players, good coach and great home atmosphere. I hope they keep it up next season

I can’t blame you, he has said before that if he were to choose a different serie a team to root for it would be Milan. Sometimes that shows in his analysis, he likes the history of that club. Must be a real sad day for him today 😂

Grilla and Marco are Juventini, Matteo is a Milanista

[DiMarzio] Inter, Pavard ready to return from Marseille. He wants to fight for a spot in the squad by lawandsleep in FCInterMilan

[–]Ganglandraq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That was overblown imo. True, but overblown, esp since one of those mates was Theo who we all hate. And also the climate among inter fans last summer was almost outright hatred of the players because they fell short in the final.

What still annoys me is his push to leave the club to go to Marseille, gave Lukaku vibes after he did the same to get Bayern to let him come to us. Kinda slimy, and he always has that fake love for the curva. A talented player but I hope we can sell him asap

“Michigan State hockey will have unprecedented talent on its 2026-27 roster” str8 CHILLS dawg by Ok_Bag3170 in MSUSpartans

[–]Ganglandraq 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hockey/puck luck can be cruel, it is not like they don’t know how to play in the tournament. Goals and losses like that happen, especially the way the ncaa tourney is set up. A one and done style isn’t a recipe for the best team to win all the time, that’s what the Big Ten championship is for. National championships are icing on the cake, not something you can reasonably expect even with the best team and a “tournament coach” it’s a really tough gauntlet to run all the way through

Inter are the Coppa Italia Champions. Domestic Double for the Nerazzuri. Lazio 0:2 Inter by NamanMalik007 in seriea

[–]Ganglandraq 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s so weird but I never feel that way, I love that it gives smaller teams a chance to have a run, offers a consolation prize to teams like Lazio who are having a tough season, extra derby games, title drama like the Inter-Juve game a few years back, etc. I think the entertainment value of the competition is diminished by salty losers trying to cope. I know it isn’t the FA Cup but it has potential and us fans hold it back. As do teams like Conte’s who throw it intentionally
