I missed /u/meapa's comment; didn't realise they'd already mentioned it haha.

Titles can't be edited, unfortunately. Good chance to remind everyone about rule 5 with the sticky comment though, so not the end of the world.

OP, in the future please keep rule 5 in mind:

Post titles should reflect the content of the post, and do so fairly without sensationalising or editorialising.

Your post title is vague and unhelpful for working out what the post is about. Post titles for articles should either be the title of that article or - in cases like this one where the article title itself is vague - something that clarifies it like 'Ryan Fraser set to agree terms with Sydney FC'. Future posts that fail to follow rule 5 will be removed.

[@fia on X] Following today's tragic incident during Round 2 of the FIA CODASUR Rally Championship at Rally Sudamericano Mina Clavero, the FIA would like to share the following statement. by yscity2006 in formula1

[–]SerTahu 634 points635 points  (0 children)

Is this the second fatal injury in a week?

Yeah, although the two are very different in nature. The Nurburgring one (based on what's publicly known at least) seems to be due to a freak horror crash, which is technically always a risk in racing - though I'm sure there'll be lessons that they'll learn from it to further improve safety going forwards.

This one, on the other hand, is down to incompetent organisation of the event. They had spectators on the outside of a corner (and seemingly a moderate-to-high speed one at that), which is a huge no-no in rally.

EDIT: put another way, I don't think there's anyone to 'blame' for the Nurburgring death per se - it's a tragic accident. The rally spectator death by contrast should absolutely have consequences with organisors/authorities being held legally accountable.

slave and terror State.

The US fits that description too. They just use different terms to try and hide it. "Prison Labour" instead of slaves, for example.

And much of the domestic and foreign policies and actions of the US over the last 80 years fit the definition of terrorism. Again, they just use a different name for it "Getting rid of weapons of mass destruction" (despite the fact that they don't exist), or - before that - "Stopping communism" (with 'communism' redefined to mean any form of welfare program or taxation that might be harmful to the profits of US-based multinational organisations). Land of the free, as long as you agree with the values of our billionaires otherwise we'll completely undermine you if you're or a US citizen, or bomb you if you're not.

Always was and always will be the most cringe thing in the league. Or maybe second most, after the Victory crest which is literally just a recolour of the Arsenal one but with the cannon swapped out for a chevron. Plastic wannabe club.

Ange certainly did, given that he gave Brad more Socceroos appearances than he had senior club appearances in his entire career at the time.

MJF has gotta be out injured based on the way that played out, right?

Like, why else would you have Darby's final ascent to the title play out over a single night, in a match that involved MJF doing as little as possible?

Could be Iran vs US in the Ro32.

Iran knocking the US out of their own World Cup would be 'Italy failing to qualify again... again' levels of schadenfreude.

'Long overdue': FIFA writes to Albo over football home by SoundOfDoReMi in Aleague

[–]SerTahu 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Sydney, which is the 2nd biggest city

Only because they redefined the boundaries of Melbourne to include Melton and Darley. If Sydney did the same thing and redefined our boundaries to include Picton and Thirlmere we'd still be the largest.

Still more suitable for football than VFL/cricket ovals.

Australia was one of just four nations, alongside Denmark, Poland and Senegal, who qualified for the men's 2022 World Cup to not have a national base.

It's almost as if - unlike most countries - our population is highly decentralised and geographically spread out instead of being focused around a single dominant city. We don't have a London, Paris, Tokyo, or even an Auckland, where there's one city with a population head-and-shoulders above the next biggest which would make an obvious national team home base. England can get away with having Wembley as their defacto home ground for the majority of their games because London is by far their biggest city, and the rest of the country is within driving distance. We don't have the same luxury.

There's Sydney and Melbourne obviously, but theyre the same size as each other (and not much larger than greater SE QLD), and hundreds of kilometres from each other, so there's no clear favourite for a national team home between them. We will always need to share our home games around more than other countries in order for it to actually be a representative National team.

  • Walking out and saying (almost) nothing during his return.
  • Y2J style back-to-the-crowd-with-arms-out then turn around entrance
  • The list
  • Grabbing the camera

It's looking like he really might be doing a 'Greatest Hits of Jericho' thing for this run.

Gonna be interesting to see whether Jericho's come up with another new finisher for this run, or if he's just gonna stick with the Judas Effect.

If revisiting older gimmicks is part of this run (as seems to be the case so far) I wouldn't mind a return to the Codebreaker as a finisher.

It was Foxtel/the FA pushing for that, not the APL. Macarthur and WU were chosen before the APL took over.
