If I were one of the five greatest players ever at the world's most popular sport I would simply comport myself in a manner that doesn't cause my disgraceful behavior to overshadow my vast accomplishments

It's pretty remarkable that the most famous guy in the world, the richest guy in the world and the most powerful guy in the world are all the exact same kind of pathetic loser

It always feels like the Hegseth storyline is like Francis’ in Malcolm in the Middle. Whenever the camera cuts to him, he’s just doing the most insane shit that only makes sense in his head.

The problem isn’t that they’re moving past it—it’s that they’re trying to rehabilitate it. Would be better for everyone if people who don’t want to engage with the facts just talked about the play on the field and left it at that.

look, Deshaun Watson is a terrible person, and he's actively antagonizing the loyal Browns fans still willing to pay money to see this awful team, and he's too old to be a part of the future of the franchise, and he's untradeable. But you've gotta admit: he's also absolutely terrible at football

it's pretty funny that the World Cup has sensors that detect the ball's rotation, acceleration, and location every .002 seconds (not exaggerating, the actual tech specs of the sensor) but also the game gets to the end and the ref says "ok I think 9 more minutes ... maybe more if I feel like it"

Soccer is my favorite sport and always will be, but Jesus Christ they've got to do something about this VAR issue. Every exciting moment devolves into legalistic nitpicking and standing around. For a match like this to end with Zapruder analysis and trigonometry is simply not fun!!!

there are obviously a lot of issues with the use of replay in modern sports officiating but also one of the most famous moments in soccer history is when a guy just straight-up used his hand to punch the ball into the goal and the ref didn't notice it

The frantic rush to ban trans women from playing sports has never been motivated by a genuine interest in women’s sports or improving anybody’s lives. The fact that it’s clearly going to hurt cis women in addition to trans women is an added bonus for the people who have pushed for it

I also appreciate Cody Gakpo and his partner using their platform to talk about miscarriage. It’s hard, it’s heartbreaking, and historically it’s been so stigmatized that you don’t realize how normal it is.
