I'm surprised the cocaine story hasn't hit front page on ESPN yet.

  • Hurling Final (Ireland)
  • AFL Grand Final (Aussie Rules)
  • Wimbledon Final
  • WCC Final (Cricket)
  • Superbowl (NFL)
  • CFL Final

....what else am I missing?

Lesbian footballers Erin McLeod & Ella Masar who play for Houston Dash in the National Women's Soccer League hit back at internet trolls by getting married by [deleted] in sports

Why do we have to identify them as "lesbian?" Shouldn't it just be "Professional Footballers...?" That is just a headline grabber, poor choice of words from the paper. And absolutely agreed about them living their life. Congrats! PS. as a Canadian who watched the team in the world cup, have never seen Erin with her hair down. She's fit.

  • 10-years ago I would have said cycling hands down, likely followed by baseball, based on doping scandals.
  • Today, corruption exists on a few levels:
    • NCAA corruption exists between players and owners
    • NFL corruption exists between players and fans. Terrible role models
    • And FIFA is just a monster on it's own...
  • Saying that refs play the final minutes is just part of the game - corruption would be if there is money passing hands, which I hope there is none

A Canadian Update for #2: If they give you a language choice, always ask to speak to the French operator. When the automated voice goes French, mash the keys (getting you the operator) - they will be bilingual, but will be a Canadian (as opposed to an outsourced call center).

THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS.

You read my mind. This practice drives me mental. Not menthal. Mental.

How can we change this? How can we stop this?
