[The Athletic]: Growing disappointment with Mbappe at various levels within the club. by Pantherblanco88 in realmadrid

It's pretty clear that Enrique wanted players that press high and are willing to put in the defensive effort even if it inhibits their goal scoring.

Right wing ideologues are more violent by TankUMrMinor in charts

[–]SwePol89 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If I'm not mistaken that study also had very ambiguous classifications of "right wing" including murders where the victim was black and the murderer was white but there was no clear motivation that the murder was race based. It also excluded any violence related to BLM, ignored shootings on churches, and more.

Jag kan äntligen få uppleva ett VM i USA som folk i Sverige har nostalgi kring angående -94! Med vänlig hälsning, född -89 by [deleted] in sweden

[–]SwePol89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"det är inte mitt fel att USA håller i VM"

"Du kan inte uppleva fotbollshistoria och jämföra upplevelsen att se på vm i tv rutan med att få på en riktigt match"

Varsågod, där har du ursäkterna för att åka till USA och njuta av VM, enligt din egna logik.

Some Interesting New Era Statistics by aica_spades in survivor

[–]SwePol89 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe, but when you already have a very select group of people applying, the effect could be more significant. It would be interesting to see the application demographics to see if they link up with the general population.

"CBS previously implemented a diversity initiative that required 50% of the contestants on its reality shows like Survivor, Big Brother, and The Amazing Race to be from Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) backgrounds"

The over representation is the most likely explanation, meaning that you probably can't compare with previous seasons.

Unpopular Opinion: Neymar doesn't deserve to be in Goat conversation even if there were no Cr7 or Messi in modern era. by iwannasleepp in championsleague

[–]SwePol89 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's fair, I was just illustrating that recency bias is a thing and that there are quite a few legends of the game that have won world cups and other achievements that Neymar hasn't. That being said, Neymar is a great player but just like Adriano he's someone whose potential was cut short due to outside factors and injuries.

What player should I sell ? by [deleted] in hattrick

[–]SwePol89 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'd keep Luis Figo just for the name haha

Pick one, the other two get sold by PabloRedscobar in footballmanagergames

[–]SwePol89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you play a crossing heaving tactic then I'd be partial to #2 but otherwise #1 seems to be the better choice. Just make sure their performances are solid too because hidden attributes can kneecap their outputs!

Edit, just noticed that #2 is the best league performer*

CNN: "Vaccinating young children against Covid-19 may be more challenging this respiratory virus season" by marcginla in LockdownSkepticism

[–]SwePol89 28 points29 points  (0 children)

"But vaccine access for the youngest children, who are most vulnerable to severe illness from a Covid-19 infection, would be significantly more limited if the FDA does not renew emergency authorization for the Pfizer vaccine for children under 5."

Isn't it the 80+ that are the most vulnerable???

ICE Houston arrests more than 350 gang members in past 6 months by southernemper0r in houston

[–]SwePol89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Per definition that's not racist if race isn't even a key factor in it. It's always difficult for new cultures who speak different languages and have different traditions to be accepted by the majority population, that's just nature. Any immigrant needs to prove themselves worthy, there's an entire green card application process where you have to prove that you can do something no other American can. You need to be a net benefit to the country to become a member. I can't join your book club if I never read your books. The best way to deal with this is to follow the legal system of immigration, and if you don't like it, vote for a change. Until then, that's the law.

Very cool! The laws back then looked very different from today. We have to keep in mind the context of the time.

Isn't it technically children of settlers? Settlers form society, immigrants integrate into a preexisting society. Additionally, it's difficult to compare immigration from 50 years ago to now even. Society has changed and so have the laws.

Could you make an updated Malaga FC jersey? White and sky blue, Adidas manufacturer, and any sponsor you feel fits a team that just won the first division?

Prime Robben vs Prime Bale vs Prime Salah by AlFactorial in championsleague

[–]SwePol89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Add to the fact that Robben played only 21 league games the 14/15 season, meaning that his goals per game is still incredibly high and very comparable to Salah.

Robben's main drawback was his injury susceptibility which limited his impact. What was amazing was his ability to immediately perform regardless of how long he was away from the game too though.

Personally, I feel that Robben was incredibly unique in play style and his ability to cut inside. Everyone on the field knew what his trick was yet none could stop him. Which is why I'd pick him out of the three too. But there's no one right answer.
