  1. yadi will now die of covid
  2. joe kelly looks like he goes purging
  3. you're right. i had no idea they had played that poorly before the break.
  4. tough break for leicester. clear third-best team for 75 percent of the season and could never get it going after the restart. chelsea just unbelievably fortunate all year. third best team in their CL group and they make it out only because Ajax picked up like 4 red cards at the end of what should have been a blowout ajax win. worst keeper in the PL and they somehow make it through despite a rough goal differential. be a cool end to the season if they go beat arsenal and then we just will pretend the second leg of the bayern matchup doesnt happen. top 4 FA finals champions league knockout rounds add Ziyech, Werner, Havertz+++ that's a hell of a year
  5. I don’t understand the insistence of putting mount on the wing
  6. here's a fun one make an argument for chelsea club player of the year being someone not pulisic
  7. *the mls defender has logged on* Zlatan's Serie A output this year is basically the same as his 2 years in MLS
  8. she aint much to look at
  9. if i took 35 *swings* my body would crumple into dust
  10. didnt even have to look at the username
  11. I think the announcers said something like "well .... that's curious goaltending."
  12. The SKC game was hilarious. Dominate the ball and go up 1-0 (should have been more.) Late in the second half Melia picks up a red tripping a player outside the box with like 15 minutes left even though he had one and possibly two defenders behind him and the goal would have merely been an equalizer. SKC goes down a man and puts a guy in goal who looked like Adam Goldberg's character from Friends. They quickly concede twice and lose 2-1. i really do enjoy MLS, seems like something bizarre happens every other match
  13. Freaking greenwood. Fernandez, pogba and Greenwood are a scary trio
  14. the full chelsea experience today beautiful pulisic goal concede a stunner concede a trash goal after 9 consecutive defensive miscues run around like 4 year olds for the final 20 and almost give away a 3-1 lead

    Yes I obviously know what it is, which is why it apparently got under your skin to the degree it did

    If he hadn’t bragged about how all the good things he’d done for native Americans, including even designing himself to have an office on their reservation, I wouldn’t have. However it’s pretty accurate so I stand by. you need to go somewhere quiet and reflect on this inner racism you have. Seriously, the places your mind went tonight could only come from a bigot. dreamcatchers? If we were talking about me being married to a black woman would you have asked me about watermelon? No, I mentioned the dream catcher because they’re a common item appropriated by white people who think they understand something they actually do not.

    That is a direct quote from OMC Remove yourself from the argument for a moment. (Something I'm admittedly bad at.) You called a guy married to a Choctaw "Dances with Wolves." Regardless of if your side of the argument is right or wrong, that's pretty gd horsefeathers. If he hadn’t bragged about how all the good things he’d done for native Americans, including even designing himself to have an office on their reservation, I wouldn’t have. However it’s pretty accurate so I stand by.

    You’re using your resume to tokenize a minority population and it’s somehow only the second grossest thing you’ve done tonight next to tokenizing your own wife. Like somehow we thought your opinions were [expletive] but woah hold up, he married one? Damn never mind.

    You’ve attempted to legitimize your ability to determine what is and isn’t offensive to native Americans because your wife is native. You said you understand this issue more than most because you “worked for them.” You now understand the inner workings of all tribes! Congrats! You’ve advanced to the highest level. You even know a curse word. Do you have a dreamcatcher too? I don’t know why you do things for people. I do know that it’s inappropriate to determine you can judge for a disparate group of people what they truly think on a subject as important as racism merely because you tried to help a couple times.

    Lol I’m not the one claiming some secret knowledge of this mystical apparently homogenous group of people because my wife is Choctaw and “I actually try to help them ok.” But sure I crossed a line, right. Imagine giving us your in depth thoughts on black lives matter and then defending yourself by saying umm my wife is black ok. Want me to prove it? “For shizzle.” I told you to suck a dick, not "fo shizzle", fwiw. What's troubling to me is your intellectual dishonesty about this. I'm almost 100% certain that if I were to make the claim that my extensive personal interactions with NA's leads me to conclude that most of them want all of these things gone, then I doubt I'd have gotten the same kickback from you or anyone else. I'm also amused, especially coming from a journalist, how merely stating an opinion derived from personal observation is somehow a claim of "secret knowledge". That's really the ultimate issue here and it's quite transparent: you ultimately disagree with my assertion so you have to attempt to discredit it by attacking the legitimacy of how that observation was gained. No. We actually happen to at least partially agree on a good deal here. If you were going to rank them in terms of severity, the football team's name is the worst, and the others fall somewhere underneath. The difference, the true "ultimate issue," is that I don't deign to speak on behalf of a group of people of which I am not a part. You do. Is Braves offensive? I don't know. Is Indians offensive? The logo certainly is. I don't know about the name. If someone told me it was offensive to them, I would nod and take their word for it. Who am I to choose what portion of a population must be offended before it counts as "significant." But you have a native wife and a native son so you have gained insight into this arcane knowledge. Im sure you think I'm just being a dick here, but I'm not. The world is full of men like you. Men who work with a minority population, feel good about themselves for doing it, and then imagine it imbues them with some deeper knowledge. All the hallmarks are there. the "90 percent study" that everyone who read beyond the headline knows is phony, and was written entirely for men who already have their minds made up on the subject. The native wife who has "earned" you the right to speak for the tribes. Speaking of them as one homogenous group of people with one single mindset. "Well my father in law in choctaw so I think I would know how native americans feel about this." You do not.
