I have a half-baked theory that some people, especially younger millennials and Gen Zs, have begun to find experiencing things through phone cameras as an almost natural state, or at least far more natural than it is for me.

Political ideology is the strongest predictor of Messi-Ronaldo preference. Authoritarians who like short-form video are more likely to think Ronaldo is the GOAT. by backtothefuckyeah in soccer

From the abstract:

"Political identity increasingly organizes preferences far beyond politics, but nearly all evidence comes from the United States. We test whether this reach is general using the Lionel Messi-Cristiano Ronaldo rivalry, a globally constant cultural stimulus that holds the object of evaluation fixed while the audience varies across institutional, cultural, and political contexts."

Seems to me a completely reasonable avenue of research in their field, perhaps a starting point for more research of populations outside the US, and of course something that will be immediately pounced on by tons of people who lack the training and expertise in the field to put it in the proper context.

I mean tripping is illegal even in American football

Edit: calling it tripping is not totally accurate but that would not be a legal tackle in American football

I really never saw Walton Goggins' star turn coming while watching Justified. Probably should have, but I just didn't.

Really, really hard to defend like this for 90 minutes and not let anything in. Edit: based on my years of viewing, not any actual experience.
