  1. if i took 35 *swings* my body would crumple into dust
  2. didnt even have to look at the username
  3. I think the announcers said something like "well .... that's curious goaltending."
  4. 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
  5. Freaking greenwood. Fernandez, pogba and Greenwood are a scary trio
  6. 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.

    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.

    I've lowered myself to work for them? How dare you.

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.”

    How exactly do you think this is playing? You know a couple Choctaw words, congrats. Go back and read how you’ve talked about native Americans, this group of people you’ve lowered yourself to work on behalf of a few times so now you get to speak for them. Good for you dances with wolves.

    Look I married an indian, I “earned the right” to quote flawed studies and determine that native Americans just aren’t offended by this.

    having a native son doesnt give you the ability to decide how many offended people count as significant. you just black friended us

    The concept of a white southerners deciding arbitrarily what percentage of native Americans can get offended by something before its significant is amazing. I can’t imagine the thought process that led to not only thinking that but expressing it

    lol
  22. Kovacic awful pass, rudiger concedes a corner, which chelsea cant defend, for no reason. Kepa runs into his own man. Azpilicueta just kinda sits there trying to box out a guy who might as well be shaq compared to him, and abraham sits on the post and tries a bicycle kick clearance into his own goal, misses, and the ball casually rolls in. you love to see it lol
  23. and earns willian another goal edit: this sponsor logo is capital B brutal
  24. Lampard is doing the same thing to Tammy that he did to pulisic. Create competition for the spot, then bench him and test him to earn it back. Plus he has a whole contract situation going on.
