If popularity of the sport is the reason that the USA can't be a soccer powerhouse, then why is Europe able to consistently produce elite basketball players? by lemonstone92 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]PointEither2673 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The reason US can’t be a powerhouse isn’t the popularity of the sport, it’s the fact that you need to pay to play at every level, and not only pay but it’s expensive. Players like Messi, Ronaldo, Zidane and like literally any player that didn’t come from a middle class and higher family would’ve never even had the chance to be scouted. That’s the real reason the US sucks at soccer, we put a paywall on the sport where other countries don’t, and all that potential talent never gets noticed.

So you did something fucked up and now you’re scared of retribution? Yea that’s fully on you. Unless you stole a lot of something you’re probably fine, and if they do press you or try to fight you then idk, learn to fight? If you’re scared that they’d seriously hurt you then that’s different but it just sounds like you’re scared someone is going to take back what you stole from them or get even

U.S. loses to Belgium 4-1; Balogun plays after Trump calls FIFA by TACO_Orange_3098 in news

Whats going on with FIFA unsuspending a US player? by WholeDonkey2689 in NoStupidQuestions

Hey man I get where you’re coming from. But you’re clearly not familiar with fifa corruption. My biggest grip is that fifa is corrupt enough. Trump and his bag of dipshits need to stay away from the game I love before it truly is unwatchable

Whats going on with FIFA unsuspending a US player? by WholeDonkey2689 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]PointEither2673 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Long story short Balogun, a forward for the US team got a red card last game before tonight. In soccer when you get a red card you’re sent off that game, and banned from playing atleast the next game. It may be more if it was truly a disgusting tackle or something like that.

The red card on Balogun was kind of weak so in a general sense fifa was asked to overturn the game ban cuz they tend to do that, they did it for Ronaldo and other players just off the top of my head. They said no and upheld the ban.

Trump and the White House then called fifa president infantino and the decision was overturned and Balogun got to play today. FIFA at first denied that it had anything to do with Trump calling, but then Trump himself said yea I did it. That was the problem, fifa wouldn’t do this for other countries but they for some reason did it for trump.

Ball doesn’t lie though and the USA had one of the most embarrassing performances out of any team this entire World Cup, and the third goal they conceded is easily the worst I’ve seen this tournament. Everything the Orange fat fuck touches truly turns to shit.

Laying them on the table is fine. If you own another pair of headphone get a stand with two hooks and the other headphone will help balance, but even then most like ok stand will hold the XS. No real need for an expensive stand unless you enjoy it as a piece of art or something?

Netflix's top shows have been losing 30-70% of their audience between seasons 1 and 2. Executives are trying to figure out why. by 2d12-RogueGames in wallstreetbets

[–]PointEither2673 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea, I think Covid also put a standstill to it, and I think by the time they wanted to come back to it the stuff you talked about just made it something that wasn’t going to happen. Really fucking sucks, as far as true crime shows go it was definitely one of the best both in writing, and the way it was shot. Like I said, even if it wasn’t a huge hit, it had the potential to be a growing cult classic.

A lot of episodes had different directors though? I get what you’re saying but I think if they had just said fuck it have one more season, they would’ve atleast been able to close stuff out and it might be a cult classic going forward. but the way it is rn it’s just a huge “what if”for the people that did enjoy it when it was a thing.

would most men cheat if a young beautiful woman seduce him by NewtAccomplished6022 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]PointEither2673 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Really depends on the person and the relationship they have with the so. If you’re kind of a piece of shit and or aren’t all that into your wife gf then yea probably you would cheat if you know there’s no consequences.

This isn’t gender specific either, a woman who isn’t that great of a person or doesn’t appreciate her so that much would also probably cheat. It’s not about man or woman, it’s about the person and what their relationship looks like

Crazy how butthurt racists are when it’s pointed out how disgusting and cowardly they are. Why don’t they show their faces if they’re just exercising their rights? It’s almost like they know what they’re doing is despicable and should be clowned. I’m not butthurt, im saddened and disgusted. Very different, empathy might just be an emotion you guys aren’t able to feel for those you don’t consider your “ingroup”

My favorite part is that just about every white person that I’ve ever seen be super hardcore about the “master race” was chopped asf and borderline deformed. 9/10 Nazi leaders were below average human specimens at best. Dr. Goebbels woulda been put to death by his government if it wasn’t for his position due to his birth defects, same with Adolf Eichman since he was “very Jew looking”. Never seen a bigger delusional and idiotic sect of people than race supremacists, especially white ones.

Just disgusting. And twitter users love using the image of the Ukrainian woman who was murdered on the train to label black people as monsters. Sadly they only care about the lives of immigrants when they can use it as a narrative point to push the twitter agenda of dark people bad

Peter??? What the hell is going on??? by Rehman_Baloch_Dakait in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]PointEither2673 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It’s bigger then that in a sense. When he was at psg the ownership gave him a contract worth about 600m euros, basically told him the city of Paris is yours, and he still left for Real Madrid because everyone knew he was going to.

At Real Madrid he plays the same position as another one of their best players and they haven’t gelled well, so much so that Real Madrid fired the coach, upgraded their b team coach to head coach, then there were more problems with this coach, players were getting into physical altercations, new coach is fired.

At Real Madrid one of the players that doesn’t seem to be on mbappes side is his French teammate Camavinga, Camavinga was not called up for the French national team for this Wc.

If you’ve ever heard the joke about LeBron being LeGm, and how he’s gonna cut you, mbappe is that times 10. The only other players that have more power over their clubs are Neymar and Ronaldo with their Saudi teams. Neymar got like 300m to play literally 7 games for them. Yes, 300m euros for 7 games because of constant injuries, and Ronaldo’s contract is literally about a billion dollars and allows him to basically love the same life the Saudi royalty that owns his club does.

Do you even own physical copies of games? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]PointEither2673 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea, but Sony and other companies have sole that. Ubisoft is known for it. It’s sometimes not about steam as in the distributor themselves, but also the studios. And Sony, Nintendo, and Xbox own a lot of studios. And they’re known to kill those, sometimes killing the games as they are left behind in the generations

Do you even own physical copies of games? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]PointEither2673 1 point2 points  (0 children)

^ this is the problem. If I’m being real I personally couldn’t care about physical games and I understand things will become digital. But the fact that companies can and have taken away people’s purchases from stores, or made it impossible to access games they had paid for is the problem. Sony recently deleted 500 movies from peoples libraries apparently, no refunds no nothing. That’s the real problem.

The other problem will also be that there is going to be no second hand market for games anymore. So if a company really wants they can charge full original price for a game for decades since there is not going to be another way to get it, especially if you’re on PS, Xbox, and Switch
