El Pistolero

They did this with housing, they're doing it with youth sports. Everything in America is all about making more money. Such greed.

Jaylen Brown says he used the NBA Players Association instead of hiring an agent for the NBA Draft because they're paid to help players “When I entered the draft, I didn't have an agent. I'm probably the highest picked selected ever that didn't enter with an agent. When I was evaluating, I went through the whole process and sat with a bunch of people, and what they was offering I ain't really need. It was kind of already slotted, so I leaned on the union a lot more” “A lot of the agents came and was like, ‘Yeah, we'll move you to L.A. We'll get you a trainer, put some money in your pocket,’ and I was like, ‘For what? Do I gotta give the money back?’ They was like, ‘Nah, but standard agent fee is 4%.’ I'm starting to do the math, and a house, car, and all that, whatever he was offering, is a lot less than what 4% would have been” “Long story short, the math wasn't mathing for me. I ended up being the third pick. I think because I came in like that, a lot of people, I think it was the agents, they tried to slander my name a little bit, put it in the media that he's too this, he's too that. Ended up backfiring. It all worked out in the end” “With the union, we pay dues. All the players in the NBA pay dues. We all pay like $10,000 out of our salary that goes to hiring lawyers, hiring staff, CEO, everything that you need to lead a company that works for us. So all of that is our resources that we all pay for, that we agree to. Once I learned that, I just started using it” “I'm talking about you can get private investigations done. They give referrals for financial advisors. All type of stuff. Foundation wise, health insurance, whatever you need. They have a liaison that's paid to make sure that you get it done. So I put it on their desk like, ‘I need you to get this done.’ And they do because that's their job”

Feel like I really want to get into Serie A or Bundesliga this season. I watch some of both already but mostly for #USMNT players. Might start supporting a club, any suggestions? (Not Bayern Munich)

Joshua Tree National Park @USMNT Away Jersey. Joshua Tree National Park is located in southern California an features over 800,000 acres of desert terrain. Despite the scorching temperatures, it is home to countless species of animals, from bighorn sheep to coyotes to kangaroo rats. It is also a great location for birders to spot countless migrating birds in the cooler months. It is home to its namesake plant, the Joshua Tree, a member of the agave family, and dots the landscape beautifully. - @NatlParkService I'm no artist, and AI and Photoshop were used. Even if you aren't a fan of the design itself, if @Nike and @ussoccer got their artists and designers behind this idea, we could have some of the best jerseys in the world and jerseys that showcase some of the most beautiful natural landscapes of this great country. More to come! nationalparks.org/explore/parks/…

So did Alex Morgan… and she continued to play the 2015 World Cup

@SwishJericho @CarliLloyd Those aren’t even real injuries. You can easily play through these. Most HS athletes practice on harder injuries

@CarliLloyd Credibility Gone‼️ get Julie Ertz and Alex Morgan up on the panel instead. You couldn’t help but try to shit all over him.

I don’t owe anyone an apology. My comment wasn’t about his post game interview. He skipped Gold Cup last summer because he wanted to rest and be ready for WC. He ended up resting the whole year. That’s the facts. Nothing personal against him.

@YIMBYman You can do both like most people I know because they’ll never play each other

What’s up with Americans wanting to support a team from England instead of your local team? The Premier League is great, watch it, but pick your own local MLS team, go to the stadium and have a good time. Soccer isn’t going to grow here if you just watch foreign leagues

@DonteStallworth Liverpool.

It’s time, I need to pick a Premier League team! I’ve been locked into the World Cup since I was drafted in ‘02 and the global games from Copa to Euros to AFCON for over a decade Narrowed it down to: Man City, Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, or Man Utd. Who should I choose & why?

@utdmax0 Rakitic

Guess the missing player Very Hard.

I propose that the quickest solution to fix US Soccer is to take all the newly built Pickleball Courts and repurpose them into streetsoccer futsal courts. It will make us a true soccer nation and we will win the World Cup once this happens.

Several spots are up for grabs.

Pulisic I can’t defend you anymore bro

No more justifiable 10-beer weekday nights for the rest of summer. I’m sick asf

It’s not about all our 6’4” freak athletes choosing to play linebacker in the SEC. It’s about all of our 5’10” left-footed magicians choosing to play slot receiver in the Big 12.

China once again accused of aura farming

"Dad what were those 61 seconds like when USA tied the game vs Belgium before they scored again"

This generation of USMNT has a fatal flaw: Mentality. They are soft, entitled, naive. It’s been clear for years. They showed it again tonight on the biggest stage. It was embarrassing. It should be embarrassing. They should get no excuses.

USMNT fans seeing that Folarin Balogun can play against Belgium

proper corruption at play here, finally becoming a real football nation

FIFA is such a world-class, respectable organization. A true beacon of integrity and transparency.
