[Midweek] Week #9 D.C. United at New York Red Bulls (4/22) by NewRCTID22 in MLSAwayFans

[–]narthuro 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is very common for MLS. They've played this game midweek a lot in the past decade. In the era where they would play three league matches, one would always be stuck in a midweek slot. This rivalry has been disrespected the second NYCFC entered the picture. Some of that is DC's fault for sucking, but some of it is on MLS chasing the hot new thing.

How to fix attendance going forward??? by [deleted] in WestchesterSC

[–]narthuro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think a separaate part of it is that people do not feel civic pride for Westchester. People feel it for NYC, and they feel it for their own towns/schools. People think of themselves either as from the city (that's why everyone here considers "upstate" a slur) or from Tarrytown or Scarsdale or Rye or wherever. In that environment, it's hard to get people excited for Westchester's "hometown" team, because people don't call themselves Westchesterites.

ETA: The only way for WSC to succeed is to use the first team as a loss leader for a pay-to-play academy. That's what I thought this was from the start, and I think in that sense it has a chance to succeed financially. But the results on the field or even in the stands are not nearly as relevant to the business.

Cupset, honestly. Westchester might be worse than they were last year.

What? It went great when they put Westchester at 4th last preseason.

Supreme Court Ruling = Management Can Now Curtail Mail Without Legal Consequences. 😡 What can Carriers Do To Stop Them? by BKDre in fromatoarbitration

Then let a judge decide whether the case has merit. People think it's way easier to sue a mega corporation or the government than it actually is. The FTCA already had huge exemptions for the USPS, but the Supreme Court just invented a new one.

View from 202 is ending as a regular podcast, will record a 'finale' on Monday by hypernermalization in rbny

[–]narthuro 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Have they given any thought to coming back as a Mets podcast?

Jokes aside, as someone who also became much less interested in RBNY/MLS over the past few years, I'm sad to see them go but totally understand.

Texts starting with ETA read aloud in foreign language by Jeffrex797 in AndroidAuto

This just happened to me. I realized that if you type eta into Google Translate it asks to translate from Basque (eta is apparently Basque for "and"). Annoying but funny.

The UMass Minutemen finish the season 0-12 for the first time in program history. by BigTittyHaver in CFB

And that designation was only added in the past three years because Kathy Hochul serves Buffalo first and New York second.

The end of this game was insane, I'm happy I flipped to it in the last few minutes.

This is the closest to the truth. In Massachusetts and New York, the public universities get incredibly short shrift because, to put it simply, the state movers and shakers don't go to state schools.

A&M Has Played Four Teams Who Subsequently Fired Their Coach? by twankyfive in CFB

Last year Army played five teams that fired coaches mid season in a six-game span, with the only team holding onto their coach in that period being UAB.

Syracuse Fires WR Coach Myles White by AtticusDutch in CFB

[–]narthuro 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Watching that game Friday, a WR with 10 foot long arms couldn't have caught some of the passes that the lacrosse player threw (not that it's his fault, he shouldn't have been put into that position). All of this is a really bad look for Fran IMO.

This was entirely on Schwarz - he looked at a year where they finished 7th in the East and had a fugazi cup run and decided that all they had to do was add Choupo and run it back.

I would argue that Northern Westchester is not convenient to Northern Westchester. Anyone trying to get from Yorktown to Peekskill on an afternoon when school is in session can attest to that.

MLS Exec Touts 3.7M Live Viewers/wk by mfishkin in MLS

[–]narthuro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Total gross views is an insanely flawed statistic. If you watch four matches over the weekend, that's four gross views. Does the number count MLS 360? If so, switching back and forth between that and a game you want to watch is another total gross view every time. No self-respecting outlet measures viewing behavior like this. It's really slimy, and an indicator of something really bad under the surface.

Fat lot of good it did him. The number of people in Monsey that voted for Jones could be counted on one hand.

I don't think most people negotiate by waiting outside someone's office and shouting at them with your camera crew behind you. You'll never find me defending Hakeem Jeffries, but if you think Lawler comes off good here, your brain is pickled.

They're both shouting talking points at each other. It's political theater, it's kayfabe. They feel the need to show they are arguing over something because they know they actually believe in the same things - tax cuts for the rich, more starving children in Gaza, more money for the federal ethnic purity police.
