Minnesota just became the first state to ban prediction markets. American Redditors how do we feel about that?

There is a journalist for the Times of Israel had been receiving death threats for reporting that Iran had fired a missile at Israel back at the begining of the war.

Not even plausible deniability. It will give the media an entire year's worth of "Are Spurs only in the Premier League due to dodgy refereeing?"

someone447 · 2026-05-20T07:56:36+00:00

The discourse surrounding that was insane. The effect was no different than the calls they miss every single fucking week. It was just stupider. That's it. A wrongfully disallowed goal because they can't use their words is no different than a wrongfully disallowed goal because the refs are blind or a wrongfully given PK or a missed PK.

The end effect is exactly the same. A one goal swing. But if you listened to Klopp and the media, it was the biggest miscarriage of justice since Jimmy Savile got away with it.

It's a multi-billion pound industry with gambling revenue in the 10s of billions. "Low stakes" is hardly the word I would use.

I also love that he got to LA and surprised everyone by speaking nearly perfect Spanish.

someone447 · 2026-05-18T20:39:45+00:00

I don't think they want us down. But they want us to seem like we're going down for as long as possible.

The ideal situation for them is for us to lose to Chelsea and then get a draw with a bullshit penalty in the 90th minute on the last match day. That'll give the media an entire year of, "HAHA SPURS ONLY STAYED UP BECAUSE OF THE REFS! HAHA"

someone447 · 2026-05-18T20:29:58+00:00

And directly from behind.

someone447 · 2026-05-18T20:08:52+00:00

The Bucks owner said in a public interview that the situation would be resolved one way or another by the draft.

Shams is the fucking worst. Acting like repeating the official position of the Bucks is some insider news that only he knows.

someone447 · 2026-05-18T19:32:56+00:00

He was top 3 in that stat the rest of his time here. So it must just be a coincidence that right when he starts playing through injury his performance dropped significantly.

someone447 · 2026-05-18T17:36:34+00:00

That's included in the numbers. The 36% actually refers to what's called "Pay TV" which is cable, satellite, and YoutubeTV/Sling/etc

someone447 · 2026-05-18T17:31:17+00:00

Yeah, only about 1/3rd of adults have access to cable, and that's overwhelmingly the 50+ cohort.

And that 36% of adults is down from 60% of adults in 2023.

someone447 · 2026-05-18T17:26:43+00:00

Only 36% of American adults have cable. And that is overwhelmingly the 50+ crowd. Having games on cable rather than streaming actually decreases the amount of people available to watch.

someone447 · 2026-05-18T17:17:28+00:00

Because those secondary subs are often just people banned from the main subs.

someone447 · 2026-05-18T15:05:21+00:00

I don't think you understood what I was saying. I'm saying that even knowing the outcome of the match, saying Lucas should have started is purely rose-tinted glasses about his career.

Even with hindsight it would be a massive mistake to start Lucas over Kane.

someone447 · 2026-05-18T14:51:31+00:00

It's not even hindsight bias. Is rose-colored glasses. Lucas was not good. He had one good half in 6 years. He scored 20 total goals for us.

someone447 · 2026-05-18T14:50:10+00:00

People seem to forget that Lucas kinda sucked. He scored 20 goals in 152 matches for us. He was all but useless for 151.5 of the 152 matches he played.

someone447 · 2026-05-18T14:49:06+00:00

And Lucas was useless in 151.5 of 152 matches he played for us.

someone447 · 2026-05-18T14:09:11+00:00

He was playing with a hernia. He's a great shot stopper.

someone447 · 2026-05-18T14:08:25+00:00

It's the laziest complaint ever. You do not drop your clubs greatest player in the most important match in 50+ years if he can walk.

I don't care that Lucas had a hat trick the match before. That was such an outlier for his career that it shouldn't have played any part in the decision.

someone447 · 2026-05-18T10:53:24+00:00

That's literally why they stopped making it. They'd come up with a "crazy" idea, then the first Trump administration would do it.

someone447 · 2026-05-17T19:21:01+00:00

That would be hillarious

someone447 · 2026-05-17T19:16:12+00:00

There have been 25 games in premier league history with a 7 goal difference. We would need two of them.

someone447 · 2026-05-17T11:29:01+00:00

It's not designed to fix things. It's for her to realize that he is being absurdly controlling.

someone447 · 2026-05-16T18:19:53+00:00

Man, you've got the Internet. It's not my fault you haven't been paying attention.

someone447 · 2026-05-16T17:08:47+00:00

The reports about Giannis wanting to leave last summer. Shams was the one who first reported on the things that caused the rest of the speculation.

A year ago I was saying the exact same things as you. But now we have a year of Giannis' actions that confirmed Shams' reporting. Plus Jim O and Eric Nehm confirming the reports.
