I went ahead created an account with @TheHIVE_Social and the interface looks great! Really feels like instagram and Twitter combined. Hope the social media platform survives if anything happens to Twitter. This might be the move. 👀

@ItsSKhan22 @YoungAngel_ @Ajprellerbrnr @Johnsmithsorta @Jwiesel13 Money alone doesn’t fix the development issue. Soccer has to be played seriously from a young age. In the U.S., a lot of elite athletes are pushed toward football/basketball first, so soccer loses part of that talent pool before those players ever develop.

@ChipRivera @YoungAngel_ @Ajprellerbrnr @Johnsmithsorta @Jwiesel13 To me, this is just talks and cope from us. I’m like certain the US is putting in over 400M into soccer, maybe not as much as football or basketball, but enough to produce some talent. Right now, we have bums, respectfully to them 😅

Christian Pulisic is a prime example of the United States not having its best athletes playing soccer There’s just no way there aren’t guys in the NBA & NFL who wouldn’t be better than him if they would’ve started playing soccer at a young age He’s a wimpy small athlete

@ItsSKhan22 @YoungAngel_ @Ajprellerbrnr @Johnsmithsorta @Jwiesel13 Why I said it was a hot take. Now way this can ever be proven, and just delusion. We don’t live an alter dimension where this actually happened that could prove if this is right or wrong.

@ChipRivera @YoungAngel_ @Ajprellerbrnr @Johnsmithsorta @Jwiesel13 Brother, there are delusions and this is far beyond that 😭😭😭. STOP IT RIGHT NOW 😂

ChipRivera@ChipRivera·7 Tem

@YoungAngel_ @ItsSKhan22 @Ajprellerbrnr @Johnsmithsorta @Jwiesel13 Also, hot take. If America prioritized Soccer the way other European/South American countries did, America would have had at least one Messi every generation at minimum.

English

🏌🏽‍♂️@YoungAngel_·7 Tem

@ChipRivera @ItsSKhan22 @Ajprellerbrnr @Johnsmithsorta @Jwiesel13 Soccer requires size, speed, quickness, jumping, body control, and skill work. The rest of the world pretends it’s some special skillset that Americans couldn’t train for. They dont understand that it’s a sport we dont take seriously at all. I wish we did just for shit talking.

English

ChipRivera@ChipRivera·7 Tem

@ItsSKhan22 @YoungAngel_ @Ajprellerbrnr @Johnsmithsorta @Jwiesel13 AD is a bad example because his height likely works against him in soccer. I’m not saying every elite athlete translates. I’m talking about guards, WRs, RBs, and DBs. Steph, Kyrie, Tyreek, and AB have the footwork, and coordination that could translate if they grew up playing it.

English

Saif Khan@ItsSKhan22·7 Tem

@ChipRivera @YoungAngel_ @Ajprellerbrnr @Johnsmithsorta @Jwiesel13 Depends. And yes, maybe the overall talent pool is better. But I don’t think athletic ability is what’s holding the USA soccer players back. For example, do you think Anthony Davis could have been a good soccer player?

English

ChipRivera@ChipRivera·7 Tem

@ItsSKhan22 @YoungAngel_ @Ajprellerbrnr @Johnsmithsorta @Jwiesel13 That’s an appeal to authority and it still misses my point. Nobody said football players could just switch sports today. The argument is that if elite American athletes grew up playing soccer, some of those traits would translate and raise the overall talent pool.

English

Saif Khan@ItsSKhan22·7 Tem

@ChipRivera @YoungAngel_ @Ajprellerbrnr @Johnsmithsorta @Jwiesel13 That’s just your assumption because you watch these players that play a specific sport they are built to play. That doesn’t mean they can just play soccer because they grew up and became football players. But don’t take my word for it, here’s Jason Kelce saying the same

Unfiltered Soccer@UnfilteredSoccr

If America’s best athletes played soccer, could they win the World Cup? Jason Kelce subscribes to this a little bit but acknowledges that soccer is more of a skill game. "I actually don't think it's beneficial to play American football - that beneficial - before you're in high school. I think it's actually better, from an athleticism standpoint, to play soccer, to play hockey, to play sports where you're running. Maybe flag football. But developing spacial awareness, running, cutting..."

@ItsSKhan22 @YoungAngel_ @Ajprellerbrnr @Johnsmithsorta @Jwiesel13 This is a weird take. Nobody is saying football = soccer. The point is that elite RBs, WRs, DBs, and basketball players have the footwork, speed, coordination, and body control that would translate if they grew up playing soccer.

English

Saif Khan@ItsSKhan22·7 Tem

@YoungAngel_ @Ajprellerbrnr @Johnsmithsorta @Jwiesel13 Idk how this escaped your thought but have you considered that American football is an entirely different sport with different rules and required abilities than soccer? Athleticism matters, but you don’t need to be the hulk to be great at soccer 😭 Example, the Japanese team

@CyberJeezy @BenOndaTop “Repeated” means safety violations, not suspensions. The NFL cited 13 infractions since 2020, and he got 3 games—not 4. Whether the play was dangerous isn’t the point. A red card automatically ejects and suspends; NBA/NFL penalties don’t always do both.

English

Cyber Jeezy@CyberJeezy·2 Tem

@ChipRivera @BenOndaTop Aziz had never been suspended before. Repeating what? 4 game suspension? And a flagrant 2 is most times not nearly as dangerous as cleats on a turned ankle. There have been plenty of season ending injuries with that exact time of play. It happens all the time.

English

Bonda@BenOndaTop·2 Tem

Bro, imagine if they let this shit fly in the NFL. Like, Will Anderson can’t play in the Texans first ever AFC title game because he coincidentally stepped on a dude’s ankle wrong. Or the NBA? Draymond would have 6 total career playoff minutes due to suspensions.

Yahoo Sports@YahooSports

FIFA confirms there is no mechanism to appeal a World Cup red card, per The Athletic. USMNT's Folarin Balogun will miss the team's Round of 16 match vs. Belgium after being red carded in tonight's win.

@CyberJeezy @BenOndaTop A Flagrant 1 doesn’t get you ejected. A Flagrant 2 does and requires unnecessary and excessive contact. It also doesn’t automatically mean a next-game suspension. Aziz was suspended for repeated safety violations. None of this is comparable to a red card.

English

Cyber Jeezy@CyberJeezy·2 Tem

@ChipRivera @BenOndaTop You get kicked out of nba games for flagrant fouls. You get kicked out of games and suspended in the nfl for bang bang plays. Al-Shaair got suspended for 4 games bc of a fluke hit on TLaw. 🤣

English

ChipRivera@ChipRivera·2 Tem

@CyberJeezy @BenOndaTop Touching SGA & Mahomes doesn’t get you knocked out of the game & suspended the next game for touching them. A foul/flag happens and you move on. Draymond being suspended playoff games is for a culmination of technicals throughout post season games in a season, also not the same.

English

Cyber Jeezy@CyberJeezy·2 Tem

@BenOndaTop Let an ankle breaking type of play fly? Okay champ. You’re talking about the nba where touching SGA results in free throws. Draymond has been kicked out of plenty of games. Mahomes gets tapped the wrong way and it’s a penalty. wtf you talking about. 🤣

Tre G.@Popit4TreAgain

Tired of the “Rockets didn’t get lucky in the draft” excuse ! Man we had a top 4 pick 4 years straight . Made the playoffs with those picks starting majority of the season back to back years . Other teams are just better at developing young talent and have more patience

English

ChipRivera@ChipRivera·19 May

@spyritwriter @wervvuim @jtanggy @SamQuinnCBS If you get rid of the Max, and had a strict hard cap, then it would be closer to the NFL. I believe this would evenly distribute talent as Elite would command most of the cap, similar to how QBs are now. The only difference is NFL is that the contracts aren’t fully guaranteed.

English

Spyrit@spyritwriter·19 May

@wervvuim @jtanggy @SamQuinnCBS Correct me if I'm wrong; but, I think we're comparing apples to oranges to cantaloups. I dont think the MLB franchises actually face a real salary cap, the NFL has so many players on O,D & S/teams that individual salaries are kinda systematically in check & I doubt Hockey is as💰

Sam Quinn@SamQuinnCBS·19 May

As someone who ardently believes in abolishing the max contract, I semi-seriously think the NBA should approach the union right now about getting rid of it before he extends. You can’t stop Victor but you can obliterate San Antonio’s depth by making them pay him 70% of the cap.

Wemby is the first player I’ve ever watched in my life where I’m like “they might have to change the rules for this guy”

Jame p@Jamep474877·18 May

@joelvmoran Not true. Yes numbers were good but he was nowhere to be found during the biggest games in the series. Hardens problem has never been performing in the playoffs it’s performing in close out/elimination games lol.

Joel Moran@joelvmoran·18 May

Since the Cavaliers won Game 7, James Harden gets his proper credit for all of his positive contributions throughout the series + playoffs but if they lost, the narrative would've been "he didn't show up" and he'd get judged solely off of Game 7 and his performances in Games 3-6 would be ignored that is winning bias for you

@Os91413Jon @BillyReinhardt Honest question, do you think the players would give it their all in these games? No reason for players to risk injury if the game is “meaningless” to them and teams are in better position to draft their replacements.

English

EverythingBKNets(Jon)@Os91413Jon·13 Şub

@BillyReinhardt The idea of all the lottery teams facing off in single elimination rounds in a Lottery Draft style tournament to determine where everyone is selecting gives every lottery team something to fight for 👀 🧐....

Billy Reinhardt@BillyReinhardt·13 Şub

Tanking is a result of a lack of parity. Teams have generally come to grips with the reality that being in the middle is the worst place to be as an organization. Bad teams do not believe they have a shot to compete without superstar talent and for many markets, the only way to acquire a superstar is via the draft. Lessening the odds for the truly bad teams to be subsidized with a superstar talent through the draft hurts the parity issue even more.

Esfandiar Baraheni@JustEsBaraheni

Abolishing the draft is probably the way to go, but they’ll never do that. My pitch is to completely flatten out the odds. All lottery teams get the same chance at the #1 pick.

@Smo0thgrandmama @RooshWilliams Three great teams? One great team, one AFC South bully, and a lot of nothing. Citing a ‘tough AFC South’ in 2007–08 while ignoring negative point differential is convenient. DeMeco had a tough schedule this year and still won 10 games, faster than Kubiak.

@ChipRivera @RooshWilliams Had three great teams and played in a loaded AFC south so those 8-8 years were brutal seasons. Not to take anything away from Ryan's but let's win something before we start the accolades. pro-football-reference.com/years/2007/ pro-football-reference.com/years/2008/

Three consecutive 10-win seasons for the first time in Texans franchise history. Feel like it’s safe to say DeMeco Ryans is already the best head coach in franchise history. Helluva turnaround under his leadership.

@Smo0thgrandmama @RooshWilliams You’re trolling right? He had one great team with a serious “What if” injury. Kubiak era is full of nostalgia for a guy who lasted 7 years, with his 8th cut short and had a losing record.

Josh S@Smo0thgrandmama·22 Ara

@RooshWilliams Division titles don't mean anything to me, Kubiak played against the colts for those. Using just 10 win season's is diminishing how good some of those Kubiak teams were..... And they only played 16 games, not 17.
