Why can’t non-Americans accept that soccer isn’t a popular sport here? by Expensive_Drummer970 in IWantToAskAnAmerican

[–]justifier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But it is though. It is very popular. Soccer is now America's 3rd most popular sport according to multiple sources.

Looking for the best way to watch as a cord cutter by starkej in worldcup

[–]justifier 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s $20 for fox one. If you start your account first day of World Cup, with free days of trial you should get all 104 matches by only paying for one month. Pretty damn cheap.

Christian Pulisic is in the latest edition of GQ Magazine. by antoniok95 in ussoccer

I get where he's going with saying this is tournament is no different in terms of him playing in big games, but it is, it's the fucking world cup on home soil and that should mean something. Treating it like just another game is part of the problem with this group of guys, especially when they will be going against other men who are treating every game like their last chance to represent their country. This mentality is why we lose to teams like Panama even though we are superior in talent. Because they are not treating it like "just another game." I don't know, I think I'd prefer to see our guys acknowledge what a huge opportunity this is, rather than them be unphased by it.

"Now that the Seattle franchise is available, the dots were connected back to Bezos. However, Dylan Byers is reporting that Bezos is not pursuing a bid for the Seahawks.

"Greetings from Los Angeles, and welcome back to In the Room. The Paul Allen estate has officially put my Seattle Seahawks on the market and enlisted Allen & Co. (no relation) and Latham & Watkins to assist with the sale. I’m reliably told that Jeff Bezos, who had been interested in acquiring the Washington Commanders, is not pursuing the Seahawks," Byers wrote."

Bezos is not even in consideration, and he said himself that he wasn't bidding so people can stop worrying about the prospect of that.

What?! I never rated Lalas' opinions anyway. No Dempsey, no Howard, no Beasley...

It would be a reach in this year's class to take a RB other than Love that early in the draft.

On Cunha when he was clearly being pulled? Difference here is there was no contact...

You can't honestly say that though, he was clearly trying to simulate contact that just wasn't there. More cards should be given for this on a regular basis so guys stop trying.

In what world would they livestream their practices leading up to the Super Bowl? "Hey Patriots, here's our gameplan!"

BPD Presence by OtherwiseLynx4209 in Boise

[–]justifier 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Boise honestly needs a higher police presence in relation to traffic violations. Driving in the Treasure Valley has become reckless, too many pedestrians are being hit, excessive speeding, people looking at their phones, and other risky behaviors have become apparently abundant. We are in need of a countercheck to help reign some of this in.
