Not sure what these are but happy derby day!

@twelvehourkhole That’s union for you.

@AllDayNYC I ain’t got nothing wrong with unions, I just hate when they bitch like this and look for people to blame. There’s a lot of people to blame besides nonunion workers. Architects, inspectors, etc. you don’t continue building higher without checks.

Dude aired out the whole job and rightfully so. All unsafe practices, no wonder it started to collapse.

@pmlopez18 @AllDayNYC He’s a union rep not a worker. No way this guy has stepped a foot on this job. Looks too clean.

@AllDayNYC This is the kinds of news we should be getting. Get it from the workers. They know what's up.

@millfieldsports And it ends…

And it begins…

@SteveKovacic @StubHub @FIFAWorldCup Should’ve used the official FIFA marketplace.

48hrs later- still waiting. I’ve verified my info countless times. @StubHub promised multiple times to contact me before the match about replacement tickets, but no one ever did. My sons and I missed a once-in-a-lifetime trip b/c we trusted those promises. #StubHub @FIFAWorldCup

@JasonDerulo221 @ScottFriedman3 @StubHub Not the most user friendly but it’s usable and safe!

I hate to break bad news to you but if you paid $1500-2k each for a Colombia v Portugal ticket for tonight and still haven’t received it you’re odds are not good you will get it via @StubHub

@TheTennisLetter Brandon Nakashima wins Wimbledon, but that’s not wild!

Tell me your wildest prediction for Wimbledon

@millfieldsports @theegunnshow @yourtimeisup20 The game didn’t matter… win or lose USA is top of the standings. Time to watch a World Cup game because Australians don’t travel.

My argument is, if you really cared about your country that much (which I get reminded about everywhere I turn in this country) wouldn’t you want to be watching them at a bar or at home rather than chanting USA at an AUS v PAR GAME. AUS had 10,000+ people travel, USA have or will never have that number of travelling support.

🇦🇺 v 🇵🇾 - World Cup Matchday Review (Santa Clara/San Francisco/San Jose/Bay Area) I have loved my time here in he Bay Area so far, however, the overall fan experience left me pretty underwhelmed. Firstly, the game was marketed as being in "San Francisco." In reality, it was played in Santa Clara, over an hour away by Uber and, from what I experienced, with pretty poor public transport options. If you're a travelling supporter staying in San Francisco, it's a long and expensive trip. What surprised me most was that there was virtually nothing happening in downtown San Francisco on matchday. No fan festival, no obvious meeting point, no streets full of green and gold or Paraguayan colours. The only organised gathering for Australian fans ended up being... a car park near the stadium so we could march together, no pubs or bars within walking distance. The stadium itself is genuinely beautiful. One of the nicest I've been to. But it's also in the middle of nowhere, surrounded almost entirely by parking lots. Once you leave the gates, the atmosphere disappears instantly. Compare that to World Cups (or Vancouver/Seattle) where supporters spill into pubs, restaurants and city squares before and after matches, and it just felt like something was missing. Then there was the crowd. When the USA took a 2-1 lead over Türkiye, the stadium erupted into loud chants of "USA! USA! USA!" at an Australia vs Paraguay match. 😫 That was bizarre to me. Maybe it's just a cultural difference, but if I'm wearing my national team's shirt, I'm going to watch my national team. Not someone else's match because there's football on. It felt like there were thousands of locals treating the game as general World Cup entertainment rather than supporters adding to the atmosphere of the fixture they were actually attending. And that's what I think many Americans don't realise. The World Cup isn't special because it's hosted in America.... It's special because hundreds of thousands of travelling supporters from around the world bring the culture with them. They're the ones who create the atmosphere that makes a World Cup unforgettable. The host nation's role is to embrace that and make it easy for those supporters to gather and celebrate. One final kick in the teeth... One beer, one spirit and two bottles of water came to US$77 (roughly AU$100+). That's hard to justify, even by major sporting event standards. Would I go again? Absolutely. 😅 The stadium was excellent and seeing the Socceroos at a World Cup is something I'll never forget. But if this tournament wants to be remembered as one of the greatest World Cups ever, I think the matchday experience outside the 90 minutes still has a long way to go... well in San Francisco anyway. We March On 💚💛

@millfieldsports @theegunnshow @yourtimeisup20 English isn’t your first language? Simple economics: supply and demand. Australians weren’t traveling to watch their team, so Americans and others filled the seats. The USA had a simultaneous match, and fans watched the World Cup while supporting the US.

@_goldstate @theegunnshow @yourtimeisup20 😭 this actually made no sense at all. Which is on brand really.

@millfieldsports @theegunnshow @yourtimeisup20 Your country must not be good to have your fans travel to pack the stadiums. Probably should’ve brought ear muffs or stayed home.

@_goldstate @theegunnshow @yourtimeisup20 I’m at an AUS v PAR World Cup game, USA mere currently at the time playing there game. Go watch your country. I don’t need to hear U-S-A chants whilst watching my country

@millfieldsports @theegunnshow @yourtimeisup20 You’re in the USA…

@theegunnshow @yourtimeisup20 Why you gotta come in your USA shirts and chant?

@Coach_Yac @Franzoni_49 He was great before he tore his ACL on a run. Mobile QB like Purdy.

@Franzoni_49 Jimmy is not very good when Kyle isn’t around

Emmanuel Acho on George Kittle’s comments “have fun with that, I guess” about Brandon Aiyuk: “George’s comments on Aiyuk tells you everything you need to know— stay the hell away. George Kittle would be lying to protect the guilty. I remember when Jimmy Garoppolo was on the squad still and the 49ers were clearly going to draft a quarterback and we had George on one of our previous shows and we asked him about Jimmy, he said he’s a hell of a quarterback, one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL, all these things and I’m sitting here like 'Bro, you’re lying through your teeth' everybody knows Jimmy G ain’t no good… When I was watching Kittle talk, I was like 'Damn, Kittle is one hell of a teammate' because regardless of the circumstances, he is going to protect his teammate. So what this tells me is simple, he no longer views Aiyuk as a teammate, period. In what world has Kittle ever said something to slight one of his brothers? Now he’s saying 'Good luck with that', that’s not George Kittle.”

@SxrgioSZN It’s the 2nd best league in the world.

Why the FUCK did he decide to go to the MLS in 2023??? 😭😭😭

@Cdpetty @villi No one is waiting an hour and a half from the end of the line to getting on VTA. I’d say that’s a humble brag based on the amount of people using public transportation.

@villi They bragged about getting everyone cleared out by 12:30p lol - only an hour and a half of waiting in line what a treat

Levi’s Stadium is the worst. Just awful experience. I don’t know how Niners fans do it. Also, FIFA clearly hates their fans not showing replays and reviews on the screen in the stadium.

@JL_Chapman 11:08-12:30 is not bad at all.

It’s easier to get out of the Bills stadium in Orchard Park in three feet of snow than it is to get out of Levi’s.

@SFGate @FIFAWorldCup This is normal, slow news day?

Tens of thousands of @FIFAWorldCup fans used public transit to leave Santa Clara after Tuesday's late-night match. Thirty minutes after the match ended at 11:08 p.m., the lines stretched down Tasman Drive coming toward the Lick Mill station.

Good for Qatar!

@Archaicmind3000 @SirNachoLibre Your thread is nitpicking. Not even one mention of their menstrual cycle. Invalid.

@_goldstate @SirNachoLibre You haven't understood the thread

Alex Eala is the most privileged WTA player in tennis history No junior superstar. No dominant ITF run. Just a Filipino passport, an IMG contract, and far more 1000-level wildcards than she had earned on the court One of the most blatant market plays in modern tennis 🧵

@Archaicmind3000 @SirNachoLibre Your thread illustrates why she got so many wild cards by explaining her accomplishments at the junior level…

@SirNachoLibre You haven't read the thread
