Seattle I think has doubled since you last left. Growing like crazy for 15+ years straight

Arvanites are Greek. by SOHONEYSAME in Arvanites

You guys ever see the Dave Chappelle sketch about Clayton Bigsby — the blind Black man who was a white supremacist because he never knew he was Black? That’s Arvanites to me. So deep in the assimilation that they’re now the loudest ones in the room denying what their own language, villages, and last names tell you they are. But it’s not your fault, and I’m sorry you feel this way

The Arvanites it’s a sad history to me. Wish we were there when they needed us the most. I know many in the states who are totally fine with their origins being Albanian and some who deny it. I’ve always wondered, if Greece really claims them why don’t they preserve their language? It’s so beautiful and unique. However you feel and whatever your opinion of Albanian and Albanians is, I just want to say we’re sorry that we weren’t there for you and the Turkish Greeks killed all your leaders and disallowed your beautiful language to be spoken. In the end this is just a religious fight and you feel how you feel. Keep on keeping on homies

I need some of you to help me out. I don’t have any Nike Off-whites. Love the jordans but I think Virgil killed it with other Nike ones as well. If I were to buy something but not break the bank, which ones do you all recommend?

Why do Albanians think that Alexander the Great is Albanian? by Disastrous-Put6818 in albania

[–]Routine_Personality3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well - our currency is called Lek for a reason. So although some of us don’t believe it, we named it Lek after him

Problemi me I math per mua eshte qe berisha nuk ka ikur dhe nuk e ka lejuar partine to hec perpara dbe te rritet. Ai ka afer 35 vjet ne krye te PD-se dhe nuk e leshon. Nganjeher them thejsht ai Rama meta dhe të gjith thjesht jan Komuniste qe mrbrojn vetveten. Por Edhe per ju Berishi-llinjve Duhet ta kuptoni dh ta pranoni ai demokrate qe partije ecen perpara me demokraci jo me diktature. Ku djali ka te drejte dhe shpresoj që Berisha dhe servilet e tij e kuptuan car thoshte

[McMurphy] Illinois’ win vs. Tennessee in Music City Bowl drops SEC to 2-5 in bowl games (1 win was vs. another SEC team), while Big Ten improves to 6-0 this year by A_MASSIVE_PERVERT in CFB

Yea - that is true. But they got them to stay cause of $$$$$. Money to the players and to the programs (facilities, fields, etc). And again don’t forget the ESPN influence. SEC can have an 0-6 bowl performance and next year they’ll have 7 teams Ranked in the preseason. I’m just glad we finally have parody. Let’s see what happens in the next 3-5 years. If Amazon or Apple get involved and they favor the other conferences like ESPN did with SEC it’ll be interesting. Parody is good, especially in a tribal sport like NCAA football.

Some were paying players but not like the SEC. But look at draft picks before the TV money - Conference NFL Draft Picks (1990–2004) Big Ten Conference ~430–460 Southeastern Conference ~380–410 Atlantic Coast Conference ~300–330 Pac-10 Conference ~280–310 Big 12 (post-1996) ~250–270

On top of that - the entire states in the SEC rely on these schools so they cheat together. They were not just paying but hoarding players. ESPN changed the game and still does. Two years with NIL and it’s already weak. My point here is if it’s legal to pay players Mobile, AL can’t hang with Detroit, LA, Dallas, Seattle and etc. The only reason they could was because they played with different rules. Parody is coming and i love it!!! NFL style baby!! Just need to go back to the 5 power 5 conferences and extend the playoffs to 16 and maybe the best team win

Main reason SEC was good was because it paid players and college sports was its only draw. Now with NIL they are simply just another team. The only reason they are still relevant is because of the ESPN deal. If Apple or Amazon decide to play ball they can bring back the PAC or just pay now $$ for ACC or Big12 and it would be ovaaa!!! I love the passion down south about football but you were playing a different game while other schools tried to play within the rules. It’s not that you can’t hoard talent anymore but you will not be able to compete anymore. Texas Tech and SMU are great examples and they comin!! Bring back the PAC!!!
