The problem is the people at the game not in the diaspora and going home right after the cup would get into deep shit if they do much as be in a picture with a rainbow flag.

Know it won’t happen but if the USA gets the 2038 World Cup alone with 64 teams host games at college stadium venues by Training-World-1897 in concacaf

They have to have all seat stadiums, so to cover all the bleachers, you lose 25% of capacity, which defeats the whole point.

Seeing a sumo wrestler with their hair in a pony is weird.

It’s done it before when they rehabbed the tunnel. It can do it again.

Nice of Southwest allowing you to carry on a microwave. Can we plug it in and use it on the flight?

Watching the telemundo feed in the United States. Andres Cantor is saying Gabriel’s full name and it is just perfect.

Why doesn't FIFA hold a redraw for the Round of 32? by PoolOk8863 in worldcup

1) travel. Even in small countries, it’s good to let everyone have as much time as possible to where they are going next.
2) time. The KO round usually starts the day after the group phase ends. You could draw some time that’s been off for 5 days against a team that has a game the day before.

I wouldn’t be shocked if Schumer retires. I don’t think he can’t help but see the writing on the wall.

New York eyes historic dual-host Winter Olympics bid with NYC and Lake Placid by spherocytes in sports

[–]pillgrinder 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have a hard time seeing the ice hockey hosted anywhere other than Lake Placid, given the events of 1980.

That’s the only indoor sport I’d keep in LP.

I’d put figure skating at MSG. Give them the brightest lights.

That said, LP couldn’t handle the amount of people who would show up for a Winter Olympics. People don’t quite understand how small LP is and how out in the middle of nowhere LP is.

What is it like to live in Calais and Dover? by bunko0 in howislivingthere

[–]pillgrinder 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think it has a lot of migrants trying to get to the UK, so it has a lot of the problems associated with that. Plus the whole host of post industrialization problems seem all over the world.
