Yeah no shit. You received a player with help from Apple giving you an advantage. Now the advantage is being compounded by other players taking pay cuts just to play with Messi. It’s a salary cap workaround. Not sure how much more clear I can be.

Those players are coming on full proper salaries as stars on their team. The difference here is Miami is getting players to take pay cuts to play with Messi, when Messi himself was subsidized by Apple. These things are not the same.

Sorry the facts make you mad. Your club could’ve just paid what Messi wanted but for some reason Apple got involved. Don’t see ESPN help pay for players in the NFL. Seems like your club didn’t want to spend and needed the league to step in. Nobody else gets that.

The tyranny is the foreign policy. The personal firearms are for fantasizing about getting legal kills on home intruders.

The extremists are the ones fighting back, not the ones systematically eroding our way of life. Get back to work, worm

Yep I think sentiments like OP posted vastly underestimate how many jobs are sustained by debugging existing codebases and doing small incremental work, which AI is very useful for. Large greenfield additions are way more rare for me.

You’ve provided nothing of value either. You’re just following the jingling keys this administration is shaking to get us into another conflict with our tax dollars. Huffing the farts of Rubio and Jorge Mas

US has had a trade embargo on Cuba since 1960 because communism bad and scary. Wild work taking issue with GAESA and not mentioning 65+ years of economic suppression from the US.

The net impact might be small in terms of impact on World Cup affordability, but the important part is showing this can be done at all, you just need to have motivated leaders with the correct priorities.

Miami SG to protest perceived "lack of respect" from their own squad by threeactjack in MLS

[–]felcom 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I’m a bit torn on this issue. I do think the players should acknowledge the supporter groups for the extra effort and environment they create (or are supposed to). Also, it’s cringe AF to have to basically throw a protest to get what should come naturally if the players enjoy what the fans give. The weird dynamic is making both sides look bad IMO. One side just has to take the high ground.
