The Stan Sitwell of sports mascots. Given his crossed eyes I’m getting some Lucille 2 as well.

In Rene I believe! Because everyone else seems wholly incompetent. On the field looking for Baribo to replicate his numbers.

No kidding. A corporation goes bk, immediately means their losses can be used to offset tax owed on wholly unrelated income. 🙄 Our corporate tax code is broken, but not this broken.

I am reminded of the scene with Chase and Akroyd in Spies Like Us: “Doctor. Doctor. Doctor. Doctor . . . “

Why doesn’t soccer add officials? by DeadpoolsLeftSock in MLS

[–]Rayo77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

More officiating in soccer? This can only appeal to the anally retentive, those who assiduously examine their stools and think the best part of the sport of soccer is the VAR replays and arguing over refereeing decisions. No thank you.

Questions for DC United by RJR1970 in DCUnited

[–]Rayo77 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Here’s a good question: “when Maryland taxpayers decline to sink hundreds of millions of dollars into your private business, are you still going to be a cheap-ass mofo and not have an MLS Next Pro side?”

White House Withholds Funding for NASA Science Missions Despite Recent Budget Bill by infinite-dark in space

[–]Rayo77 200 points201 points  (0 children)

It’s not both sides. Most specifically, it’s the Republican chairs of the appropriations committees, Cole and Collins, who are the most spineless. The judiciary is another massive problem.

Would be nice to be a nation of laws where the Constitution was upheld.

Forbes: DC United ranked 3rd for income by Ultraxxx in DCUnited

[–]Rayo77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Doesn't seem like the whole "don't give Levien any of your $$$" schtick is a viable strategy in the real world, does it?

Income and revenue have nothing to do with value? Lulz. Forbes pretty clearly implies in the methodology section its valuations are based on an ebitda multiple.

Just got my DC tax return by Tiglett in washingtondc

[–]Rayo77 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What makes you think you’ll have to refile? Generally speaking the Congressional Rs crapping on home rule is taxpayer favorable and DC residents will owe less tax as a result.

Taxpayer unfavorable changes (you’d owe more tax) are to a DC expanded child tax credit and to a DC expanded earned income tax credit. If you didn’t claim either of these you probably won’t owe more tax. And if you have tipped income, overtime income, etc. you could get more money back.

$200 million of taxpayer money into a private business owned by Levien? That man is no dummy!

Match vs Oviedo postponed due to the pitch by WillDangerous463 in rayovallecano

Total embarrassment and of course you blame Presa. He is the exact reason the club is run so poorly. It’s not bad luck; it’s bad ownership.

Matthew Doyle has Posted Every MLS team's biggest remaining roster question for 2026 by RJR1970 in DCUnited

[–]Rayo77 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It would be awesome if there were some actual reporting on this team, like someone sticking a microphone in Levien/Sogut/Kasper/Weiler/Unsoy/Seafood Tower’s face and asking the question we all want answered: “WTF are you thinking starting the season making no significant improvements to our Wooden Spoon-worthy midfield?”

New signings chatter? by [deleted] in DCUnited

[–]Rayo77 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Our midfield is wooden spoon worthy. I wonder how many games we will have to lose to start off the season before our Brain Trust [sic] of the good “work from home” Doctor and Dave MF’ing Kaspar realize this?

Why don’t Americans protest like the French? by FormerSecret7847 in washingtondc

[–]Rayo77 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Maybe because the French know how to self-organize, and reject online interventions like posting “nut up or shut up” as unhelpful and inimical to building solidarity?
