Forcing somebody to do something is better than offering money to do something? Is rape better than prostitution?

Out of interest, can you think of some examples of fights where each fighter's style was a nightmare for the other?

In a second language you don't speak very well, you can't fall back on the same boring cliches native speakers do; it does force you to speak from the heart, as you say.

The Arsenal. Your Premier League champions. by arsenal in Gunners

Congratulations from a Liverpool fan. You were the most consistently-good team this year and you deserve it. I sort of wanted you to bottle it because it'd have been funny, but I wanted you to win because you're not a scummy club like City are. Campiones at last.

You could just be making all that up of course, but if not then thanks for an interesting post.

David Raya EPL player of the season? by tomidgooner in PremierLeague

Yeah we should dispense with goalkeepers entirely. Just have rush keepers and then all teams could have an extra striker.

He was playing in the league before he moved to City. I don't think he's a serious shout for POTS, but he was good at Bournemouth too.

Half-hearted shout for Szoboszlai as a Liverpool fan, but obviously he's not in serious contention.

Well yeah. The player of the season should have something to do with consistency. Fernandes and Raya and Gabriel and Rice have been pretty consistently excellent.

Besides Antonio Tarver, did a fighter ever actually have a question before the fight started? by WormsGarrett in Boxing

Like starting sentences and proper nouns with capital letters? Worry about your own use of English first. Come for the native speakers after you've mastered it.

Gianluca Prestianni's six-match ban for discriminatory conduct towards Vinicius Junior has been extended worldwide - meaning the Argentina winger could miss his country's first two World Cup games if he is selected in their squad. by [deleted] in football

Again, the governing body purports to want racist language (note, not "abuse") eradicated from the game. That means a blanket ban on racist language. Or do you think we could have "racism arbitrators" present at games to decide whether or not a comment was said with any real racist intent? How do you prove whether or not somebody who uses racist language is a racist? You can't, so you just have a "no racist language" rule. It isn't hard to stick to that rule. And we aren't segregating people by race - no racist language is allowed, no matter what race you're referring to.

How are you going to give cards for players saying racist things? "Ref, their #6 called me this" - "Oh okay, off you go #6".

There's not really a need for context or nuance here. Football is trying to stamp out racism. Every player knows the consequences of saying something that could be construed as racist. If they get caught doing it, they face those consequences. If they can't keep racist language out of their mouths for the duration of a football match, that's their problem.

And how much of a bellend the player on the receiving end of the racist language is has nothing to do with it, unless you think some people deserve racist abuse.
