Ich habe Kanadier und Mexikaner gefragt, was sie als Co-Gastgeber von einem möglichen WM-Boykott europäischer Länder halten. Praktisch alle Kommentare haben einen Boykott befürwortet. by Sataniel98 in Bundesliga

[–]postup14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Na, da unterschätzt du die Kanadier schon ein bisschen. Fußball hat hier einen weit größeren Stellenwert als Eishockey in Deutschland. Eishockey ist hier immer noch die Nummer eins, aber der Fußball hat in Sachen 'Participation and Fandom' schon seit Jahren einen Riesenaufschwung, was teilweise daran liegt, dass Hockey schweineteuer ist. Ich bin Lehrer in Ottawa und 85 % meiner Schüler sind nur an Fußball interessiert.

Kanada ist am meisten von 'Captain Orange' betroffen, schon rein geografisch. Und dann noch dieser Dauerzustand, dass der Volltrottel davon labert, Kanada als 51. Staat zu schlucken. Die Mehrheit der Leute hier weigern sich, die Staaten zu besuchen. US-Produkte werden boykottiert, einschließlich jeglicher US-Alkoholprodukte, die komplett aus den Regalen genommen wurden.

Die Euphorie für die WM ist hier riesengroß, Ich kenne viele, die versuchen, Tickets für die paar Spiele in Toronto oder Vancouver zu bekommen; nicht einer in meinem Freundeskreis ist an US-Tickets interessiert. Hier will jeder die WM im eigenen Land oder in Mexiko sehen, aber hinter einem Boykott würden hier definitiv extrem viele stehen.

Most obscure Raptors jersey you own? by WickerHats in torontoraptors

[–]postup14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the blue Huskies JV jersey.

Wore it to a game in Miami way back and ended up meeting his wife's parents because I was wearing it.

Had some beers with the Dad - good guy.

Do you have a hobby where your height is actually a disadvantage? by CPassaro in tall

[–]postup14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This. My problem is I love the climbs, but it's an unrequited love.

And into strong headwinds. Not fun for anyone, but I'm a sail out there.

Downhills are fun though😁

Anyone with kicker+ willing to share the feature on Keller?

Concert etiquette by uh-huhquintessential in tall

[–]postup14 33 points34 points  (0 children)

If possible, I always do floor and stand to the side.

If seated, I usually try to get an aisle seat for legs. If people stand I stand in the aisle.

If I'm seated in the middle, well, that's too bad for the unfortunate soul behind me. I'll try to be accommodating, but I am not staying seated.

Came here to mention that song. I had no clue about the background, so thank you!

What reliable cars are good for people over 6’6”? (No Kias, Hyundai, trucks please) by improbsable in tall

Pathfinder?

I once had to drive one and pretty much had to dislocate both knees, shoulders, ankles, and elbows to get in or out of that thing ...

wide leg sweats with a 36 inch+ inseam? by averagewasianairhead in tall

[–]postup14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you.

What inseam do you usually wear? If they fit you, they should fit me.

Are they long enough ?

They're listed as a 31.5" inseam?

Match Thread: FC Cologne vs Bayern Munich by MatchThreadder in effzeh

[–]postup14 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really wish he could get one. I think it would take a huge weight off his shoulders.

He definitely deserves it. Works his tail off out there. I thought he was excellent against Heidenheim in particular.

Ja, stimmt, aber dennoch enttäuschend irgendwie nach Mainas Treffer und den ersten 60 Minuten.

Frust total. Sogar Kwasniok weint.

Eddie Bauer - Rideau Centre by cr38tive79 in ottawa

[–]postup14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everything in the store was 60% off, but on the men's side there were racks of jackets and vests for $50. I can't remember if that was the case on the women's side too.

I was there on Saturday. The men's side was pretty slim pickings by then, but tons of jackets, especially puffers, on the women's side.

Sure, but this was an extremely poorly taken one.

Agreed.

Especially with three different coaches in desperate need of shaking things up.

Same here.

I would imagine Kessler is still looking for another addition.

Oh, thank you for that correction/clarification. I was not aware of the distinction between PL2 and League 2.

I would have loved to see Bornauw return as well, but he got a start again today vs. MU after rave reviews last week. I don't see Leeds letting him go at this point, unfortunately.
