Footballio Gramsci

I always laugh at yanks in their US-centric bubble but the freakout at europeans rightly assuming they could walk to a World Cup stadium is one of the best it's always "no you can't WALK to the stadium 😭 idiot" and not asking "hey are we lacking basic city infrastructure?"

ROCKY, ARE YOU SERIOUS 🤯 HOW DID HE MAKE THIS SHOT???

Sources: FIFA wanted level 4 motorcade escort for its president while in Vancouver (ability to go through traffic lights). That’s 1 level below the pope - but on par with 🇺🇸 president - and higher than 🇨🇦 PM. The request was denied. #bcpoli @GlobalBC @CUrquhartGlobal

World Cup about to start soon, no hype, no songs, just nothing. The US was the worst pick to host the World Cup.

Steve Kerr on his biggest concern about America Today “When I finished college almost forty years ago, if you went to school and got a degree, you could get a job and you could buy a house. Now that's out of reach for most people between student debt and home prices and the economy slanted toward the very, very top one per cent. We don't really have a middle class, and we don't have what used to represent the American Dream, which was: you can do better than your parents. We're going backward on all that. Our family is lucky. I'm in a position where my family can live well. But there are millions of people out there, young people who are looking at the horizon and saying, "I did everything I was told I needed to do, and I can't buy a house, and I can't chase my dream." Think about what that means for the stability of communities and cities and a whole country.” (Via @NewYorker h/t @warriorsworld )

americans are never beating the allegations

@Amit_Mann Maybe, Darko, too, will get to 187 playoffs wins if he coaches the Raps for the next 50 years. After all, it took him 3 years just to get to 100 regular-season wins with a fairly competent roster. Holy mid.

@FootballGramsci I will

Howie Roseman: "If we went into the draft and filled every hole, we probably didn't have a good draft." ...This is a comment Roseman makes each year, and it's served him well. His point is that when you're pushing your needs in the draft, you're deviating from the process.

18 straight years of financial doping & 115+ charges pending, spanning more than half of the history of the Premier League (52.9%). Never been done before. History stained & disgraced. Nobody respects City & they know it. A rap sheet that far outweighs their 'achievements', which no amount of money will ever wash away. Congratulations on losing the last two FA Cup Finals though.

we need to keep the walkable stadiums discourse going. its activated some kind of bat signal deep in USA brain where every day 30000 more of them wake up and rush to die defending the stupidest possible vision of carpark deathcamp urbanism imaginable. This is their passchendaele.

@NickiJhabvala I can get behind that. But he needs to score.

The only quote that matters from the 2026 draft, courtesy of Commanders 6th-rd. RB Kaytron Allen: “I was a fat baby and everybody in the town called me Fatman. Hopefully I keep it going in Washington and they call me Fatman and, you know, when I score all you hear is Fatman.”

@cannab1senjoyer @swvvnn No they're not you hillbilly. Educate yourself about the rest of the world.

@swvvnn Do Europeans not fundamentally understand how big U.S cities are lmao. There are entire European countries smaller than NYC.

@RiverGipson @_CM_67_ What a hillbilly

@_CM_67_ Europeans not realizing people will travel vast distances to go to sporting events. Yeah you probably would need a parking lot that big.

Americans not understanding that in this scenario you wouldn’t need a car park the size of Andorra
