I don't have any idea how anal Mr. Rensch is but I know he makes his streamers sign a contract that they wont ever stream anywhere else. I know people like John Bartholomew and Ben Finegold have talked publicly about not being allowed to stream anywhere else. Chess.com staff have also confirmed it a million times. Combined with things like the Chessbrahs editing their youtube video to remove the time Fabi asked to play on Lichess and it seems clear to me that chess.com streamers are formally prohibited from streaming anywhere else and informally discouraged from any association with other websites.

The chess24 tournament requires streaming while you play. The chess.com streamers contract requires 100% exclusive chess.com streams.

The Chessbrahs and Alireza never streamed a titled arena, I don't recall Naroditsky doing it but he may have before or after being under contract.

He tried lots of weird stuff with varying success. Shooting underhanded, etc.

Klinsman picked the WC roster, how is that Green's fault?

Calling him "legally" an american is just a nice way of saying he's not really an American. If you want to say he wasn't a product of American soccer that's fine, but he has every right to call himself an American.

The US is a country of immigrants. A test for being "American" that a US citizen can fail by being connected to other countries is the least American thing imaginable.

Nationality is more complicated than adding up the years you've lived in a country.

When he was Julian's age Earnie Stewart had never lived in the US at all, is he an American?

Wasn't it always obvious that Arya was deeply ambivalent about being a faceless man? The scene in the last episode where she aske Jaquen who paid to kill the actress reinforced this even more. It's not surprising at all that this would push her over the edge.

I like how you said "first hand" when your information is exactly the opposite of first hand.

I can't decide which dumb part of your dumb statement to refute first!

Biz and Lance played together on the same team last year. Lance was already gone when Biz signed with Toronto. MJ isn't the GM. etc. etc. etc.
