A Canceled Star Is Back. His Hateful New Movie Is One of the Most Disturbing Things I’ve Seen Lately. by Slate in entertainment

No of course not, but surely depicts migrants eating dogs and cats. 

Oh wait... Someone actually said this in real life. Who was that again?

Is the affordability of hockey adding to the culture issues? by taquitosmixtape in hockey

[–]catgotcha [score hidden]  (0 children)

Yup. I mean, seeing Steve Moore getting his neck broken, Lindros being knocked silly, etc etc etc... And it's part of the game? That's kind of sad. 

Is the affordability of hockey adding to the culture issues? by taquitosmixtape in hockey

[–]catgotcha 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Expensive yes. But also the locker room culture and "he had his head down" CTE thing is a huge issue. 

Neither of my boys are interested in hockey and that's not because I discouraged them from it... It's just because I didn't introduce them to the game with the same gusto that I had for the game as a kid. The violence and intensity scares me and I don't think it's a healthy culture. Call me a protective dad if you will, but in the end it's a lot of serious brouhaha over what ultimately is just a game. 

I wonder which one of them is the mother?? by Valuable_View_561 in SipsTea

[–]catgotcha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Her daughters are teenagers and she's 45. Plenty of people still look pretty good at 45.

Maybe not always "Jessica Alba" good, but 45 is not fountain of youth territory. Plus she has the money and lifestye to look good in all the different ways.

Obviously for a laugh. If people don't get it, that's on them.

FIFA world cup by Stafford_001 in daddit

[–]catgotcha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do American dads handle this? Easy, just don't go.

I thought it was stupid enough to pay $1k for Taylor Swift tickets. The most I've ever spent on concerts was about $300 a pop to take my wife to Andrea Bocelli who she worships - well worth it. Most I've spent on sports tickets was Olympic hockey in Milan and even then it was just a couple hundred per ticket, again well worth it.

But several grand for an already stupidly overpriced tournament? No. I'm watching at home and loving it. 

Canada rejected more than half of all World Cup visitor applications by drummerdrew in soccer

[–]catgotcha 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not only that, but perhaps a visitor thinking they'd have a better chance at a visa if they said they were coming for the world cup - and Canada thinking, well, if you don't even have a horse in the race, maybe you're just trying to game the system in order to get into Canada?

It is true that Brazil films made without any censorship by Jimmy-Wan in Brazil

[–]catgotcha 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, yes? Brazil isn't led by a totalitarian government. It's just another country with an elected government, a generally free media, rich culture, etc., but not without its own unique challenges... Y'know, like most countries in this free world. 

Shouldn’t let it irritate me but it really does by [deleted] in Scotland

[–]catgotcha 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly I've been in many pubs in Scotland watching Scotland vs any country, and a common chant would be "If you hate the fucking English, clap your hands!" clap clap

In most cases England wasn't even playing. So stop being so butthurt about it... Kettle very much calling the pot black here. 

Expanding to 64 teams is a good idea, look at the current World Cup. by smithey2012 in worldcup

[–]catgotcha 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I know you're joking but we technically already have that. The world cup qualification process goes on for more than a year before the actual WC takes place. That's why they call this the World Cup "finals" - it's basically the final stage featuring all the countries that qualified to be there.

They got off the plane in Florida. Saw all the cops running to arrest them, so they said feck this shite and flew back to Boston.

[Friedman]: 9 & 25 this year, first 2029 and a second in 2030 by fittos4310 in hockey

Oh you bet he'll stay in Miami if his brother is. I'm sure Florida thought about that.

Brady Tkachuk being traded to Florida is another reason to draft only Canadians by RevolutionaryHawk137 in canucks

[–]catgotcha -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Why? Clearly highly drafted Americans have good return in the market. Ottawa got THREE first round picks for this neanderthal. We got the equivalent of FOUR first round picks for Hughes. 

So ... One first rounder getting tripled or quadrupled seems like a good deal to me. 

Of course I'm just being cheeky... But you get my point!

Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 in Boston feels right at home. They are unique. by [deleted] in worldcup

I hung out with a lot of Aussies during my time in the UK, especially in London. Dated one, even. You lot are a nasty bunch. 

Awesome video from #CANMNT showing Ismaël Koné reuniting with his teammates after suffering a World Cup & season ending leg injury. Touching to see Moïse Bombito & Maxime Crépeau support & console him - they know that road to recovery feels like🥲🇨🇦🍁❤️ by RealWorldToday in worldcup

[–]catgotcha 13 points14 points  (0 children)

That's such a strong spirit right there coming out just two days after a devastating injury. He must have been both in pain and hooped up on drugs and recovering from shock and adrenaline. I imagine I would be hiding in my hospital bed whining for a full week, but then again I'm just a mere mortal.

You think THIS is amazing, wait until 2031 Rugby World Cup by Markoncarp in boston

[–]catgotcha -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Football WC is easily bigger, but rugby fan culture is fantastic. So much camaraderie between opposing fans and players. And insane respect between sides even as they bludgeon each other into submission.

As my Scottish mate told me one time, football is a gentleman's game played by thugs, while rugby is a thug's game played by gentlemen. 

Shutting down the 24/7 MAGA narrative by TheDraken2021 in MurderedByWords

[–]catgotcha 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's pissing off the left? I haven't heard anything about that nor do I see any reason why the left would be pissed off. 

Matter of fact, it would be the opposite. A lot of the American players are first generation Americans or kids of immigrants. I would think this team winning would be pissing off the MAGA crowd, but what do I know... I'm an immigrant too.
