@EliotShorrParks More reason Sirianni is a good coach that people don't realize. Hurts is far from the top qb

I think two things are true: 1) Hurts deserves to be ranked higher if you take into account what he has accomplished. He’d be correct to feel slighted 2) This is probably roughly where he would go in a QB draft if all QBs were available I think the first one is ultimately more important

@nytimes @TheAthleticFC anyone can play soccer just like basketball. i pay for travel (i am upper middle class) but if poor kids want to play in the street, yards, fields, etc. they can easily. (like with basketball)

From @TheAthleticFC: Developing into a top soccer player requires some degree of privilege in the U.S., as it is expensive. But the primary reason that the U.S. doesn’t produce world-class men’s soccer players boils down to one word: culture. nyti.ms/4fwfXee

@wil_da_beast630 and matt pretends to be moderate

Never forget what the mainstream-left take on immigration, for good or ill, actually is.

@Adikastakes lol who invaded germany that made germans come to america? take some responsibility.

“African Migration” maybe if England didn’t invade the whole of Africa no one will be migrating to their country

@HistoryBoomer They are also naturally smarter. Gosh everyone is afraid of this reality. No one is afraid to say blacks are faster and can jump higher

I went to Stuyvesant, as did my son. It's a great school! The high number of Asian kids is partly because Asian families send their kids to prep classes so they can do better on the admission test. A lot of family hustle to give their children a shot at the American dream.

@LincolnRestler I mean 60 percent of the population is white but the top 100 times are from black athletes. its just biology

1 in 5 NYC public school students are Black, but at Stuy - our most prestigious high school - 3 of ~800 incoming Freshmen are Black. We urgently need state legislation to modify the admissions process. A single test should never be only factor deciding who gets in & who doesn’t.

@mattyglesias He is right...Remember when Dems (liberals) loved vilifying Joe Manchin?

This comment by Tom from Charlottesville is everything to me — “I don’t want to fight, I want to win.” nytimes.com/2026/07/09/opi…

@thewise85464389 @JeromeAdamsMD 80 percent of starters outside goalie

@JeromeAdamsMD Blacks are 13% of the US population. They're 70% of the NBA, 50% of the NFL and 46% of the USMNT. It's an interesting observation.

As a Black doctor living in the Midwest, I’m used to being (significantly) in the minority most of the time. That’s why it was so striking to me how overrepresented players of African descent are in the world’s biggest sporting event - even for countries like Norway & Switzerland (not to mention France). Don’t believe me? Here’s the data @grok found on the #WorldCup2026 quarterfinal teams: • France: 81% African descent players vs 5% pop • England: 58% vs 4% • Switzerland: 42% vs 2% • Belgium: 35% vs 3.5% • Norway: 8% vs 2.5% • Spain: 8% vs 1.5% • Morocco: ~8% vs ~5% • Argentina: 0% vs ~<2% Thoughts? #worldcupknockout #Worldcup2026

@JeromeAdamsMD You guys are better athletes. plain and simple. there is also a reason there are few black doctors

@wil_da_beast630 sadly a small percentage of black people do a great deal of damage. I think they are like 5-10 percent of SF population and half of all murders. higher percentage for robberies

SF is on that South Africa. Went out for one drink later; most heavily defended 1st world city I have ever seen.

@michelle_byoung can we get a community note

Fun fact: Most “cowboys” were Black men, their white counterparts were called “cattlemen” the term “cowboy” comes from when “boy” was used as a racial epithet for Black men. Over time this original meaning got lost & cowboys got white washed.

@Cant_Be_Rated eek your grammar is so bad

White people are far more safer around black people than black people are safer around white people.

@whatuplakerss eeek im not even white but no blacks are the worst and most dangerous

Lmao white people all in my mentions tryna make it seem like black people the most violent unsafe group ever. Bitch yall eat people and drink kids blood and support pedophiles

@soulfauxreal take a statistics class

I need Black people to come to terms with that fact that white people are not safe to be around alone. And yes that includes the people you call friends.

@BasedMikeLee Eek what a bad call

Hot take: Your government shouldn’t keep track of your race. Your race is none of the government’s business.

@avidseries I also wish we could note that these allegations are likely false.

@avidseries biggest difference is the parties. The Dems sell themselves as an avatar of righteousness with respect to women/sexual assault.

@TheModerateCase sadly this pattern exists

I’ve personally spoken with people from three separate organizations that previously employed Candace Owens, and all of them described the same pattern: narcissistic, condescending toward colleagues, and constantly needing everything to revolve around her. These conversations happened separately, over a period of four months. When the same story follows someone everywhere they go, maybe the problem is not always everyone else. Maybe it’s her.

@mattyglesias sure it is. we have some of the best hockey, football, basketball, baseball, (mostly) track, and (various winter sports) athletes in the world

America's youth sports culture isn't even good at producing athletes slowboring.com/p/high-pressur…

@HLWDShuffle please start your own country

Black Americans number roughly 50 million people. If we were our own nation, we'd rank around the 30th most populous country on Earth. 🌍 That's more people than Canada, Spain, Argentina, or Poland—and nearly twice Australia's population. Yet in America, we're still a minority. That's how humongous the United States really is.
