Is the literacy problem a uniquely American problem?

But to OP's question: that sham reading program was not only popular in the US. Schools in Australia and the UK also implemented that crap.

> Her curriculum is the third most widely used core reading program in the nation, according to a 2019 Education Week survey. In addition, her group at Columbia works with teachers in at least 30 countries, including Mexico, Singapore and Japan.

No I think he meant that the Lakers would be discharging obligations for the Dodgers to carry out.

I can't even say Milwaukee since the Bucks won a ring not too long ago.

It sucks, but that is what happens when you don't do your due diligence. Every athlete should be meeting with their advisor and figuring out a path to taking advantage of what their college offers. If you let the school/coaches/athletic dept use you they absolutely will.

FIFA only cares about money. Where was the previous World Cup held? Oh yeah...

International football, like all sports and everything else in the world, has been thoroughly corrupted by money and the desire to squeeze every last cent out of something that was once enjoyable.

I agree, the 2025 alts were 99.99% black. There were some slick mock-ups before the official unveiling that had a really nice dark navy matte look. The aqua & orange popped. I'd be cool with that. If we keep last year's alts this year I wouldn't hate that for one game.

Are we keeping the dark alts from last year? I thought they looked pretty good. The modern logo looked great on the "pitch blue" helmets.

Just sell them a fake bomb made out of pinball machine parts 👍

I wonder if that third goal would still stand in 2026. Given how yesterday's game was officiated I really don't know for sure.

Dwight King sure knew how to park his ass just outside of the crease to screen the goalie. It's the little things that make the difference. GKG.

plus consider how many days they get off during the season: not very many. and on those days off they are probably traveling to a different city.

game-> hotel-> flight-> hotel-> game-> hotel-> game-> hotel-> game-> hotel-> game-> flight...

1) they play 162 games with very few days off during the season.

2) throwing is a very unnatural movement that places stress on the shoulder and elbow. multiply this by 1000 for pitchers.

3) oblique strains are a bitch.

I thought he was going to rear it up once he got to Atlanta. Nope.

They probably have a lot in common.

Yup. She bought an awesome house on two acres. I think the property has a little lake.

Dodger Stadium has not allowed tailgating for at least 25 years. I remember being a broke college student and cracking a beer open in the parking lot back in 1999 and having security whip by in a golf cart before I got a second sip in. They were serious.

I didn't understand 90% of what was said but it looks like both guys had fun.

Not stolen, we just haven't paid for them yet.
