@CoachBlewItNFL Love it. Would be awesome to see other teams ranking in league, be able to select target players, and option to refresh identified trades/select specific teams (i.e as a contender I’m probably not likely to get pieces from other contenders)

It’s just the beta right now, so please check it out and let me know what you think.
If you see some shitty trades, send them my way and I’ll keep improving the algorithm.
More on how it works below. ⬇️

It’s FINALLY here.
I built a dynasty Trade Finder tool that actually works.
Not just a “find two random players and see if KTC says it’s fair” tool.
Those tools miss the entire point of dynasty trades.
Team context matters. ⬇️

🚨 JUST IN: Outrage erupts after the NYC Department of Buildings REJECTS saving this 174-year-old church that was intentionally burned down, investigated as arson
The agency that decided to demolish the church is run by a man named Ahmed Tigani
Demolition will begin soon.
ABSOLUTELY OUTRAGEOUS!
NYC churches are routinely burning down now and the local pro-Islam pro-3rd world leadership are GLAD it's happening.

Four churches have burned down in New York since Zohran Mamdani took office. Yesterday alone, two churches were set on fire.
Imagine if it were mosques. He would be crying Islamophobia and declaring a state of emergency.
But since it’s churches, he hasn’t said a single word.

Today, we were told that the 15-year-old boy who killed our beautiful 9-year-old niece, Aria, with a single stab wound to the chest is NOT GUILTY of murder or manslaughter.
How is this justice?

I cannot remain silent on this.
The Pope’s decision to do this now, right as Europe is witnessing yet another wave of murders of its citizens by migrants (think of Louis, Christian, Henry, and the countless others) cannot be dismissed as a mere public relations blunder.
It is a painful slap in the face of the Christian native peoples of Europe and all those who lost their children and loved ones as a result of mass migration.
Where is the Church’s charity and compassion toward them?
Why do we not hear a word from the Pope about the 250,000 white British girls who were raped?
Why do we not hear a word about the attacks on Europe’s Churches and Christian communities?
Why do we not hear a word about the millions of Europeans who are unsafe and estranged, fast becoming a minority in their own homelands?
The Church’s silence regarding the threats European Christians face is already deafening. Combining it with telling Europeans that they must do more to “integrate and protect migrants”, is adding insult to injury.
As a new Catholic, I have generally tried to refrain from critiquing the Pope, for we do not lightly challenge the father. This, however, is not a matter of dogma or infallible teaching. The Pope has chosen to make a political and pastoral statement on migration, and on such prudential questions the faithful may legitimately form and express their own judgment.
And my opinion on this is clear: Europe does not have a moral obligation to house the entire world, especially not when it comes at the cost of civilizational destruction.

The number of people banging on about 'improper use of VAR' who only discovered the VAR protocols after the red card is crazy.
We now all know they shouldn't use slow-mo replay to evaluate the severity of impact.
Has anybody actually proved that they did that? They have 4-5 monitors in that room. Have we heard the audio discussion of it?
I suspect they probably leaned on slow-mo replay too much as well, but I haven't seen it definitively proven anywhere that they did, and FIFA didn't rescind the card as if they made a clear mistake. So is everybody just deciding they did without proof?
English
@SamMonsonNFL @ButlerinAustin Can we maybe step back here and think this may be an overreaction to say the tournament is forfeit? Hasn’t it been proven that they didn’t follow VAR protocol and (i.e. slo motion used improperly) and fifa is acknowledging that?
English
@ButlerinAustin Right, but the tournament maintained it, until this. That's what people are in shock over.
Nobody thought FIFA had any integrity. They thought the World Cup did.
English
All of this is true.
We're also talking about FIFA so integrity was thrown out about a decade ago
Sam Monson@SamMonsonNFL
Yeah, but that's only half the story. The other half is that once he wasn't, overturning that in a pretty unprecedented way at the same time as a nation's government leans on you to do so, is at best horrendous optics and at worst outright corruption of the game. In abstract terms, it's the correct outcome, but to get to that outcome, they may have burned down the integrity of the tournament.

Non puoi cadere anche tu nell'inganno del "cartellino rosso" dai. Hai costruito anni e anni di credibilità sui numeri e le stat avanzate, non così. Non per un rosso a Balogun. :(

Call me a dumb American but I don't get how this being appealed is described as a bad thing when he 0.00000% deserved a card there

@SamMonsonNFL @JahangirAsgha10 Keir Starmer just did the same thing. Are the euros going to be just as outraged?
English
There's a pretty important distinction between a football federation advocating for its players and a country's government intervening.
To my knowledge, US Soccer didn't do anything?
The US Govt and a Tiger Team of randos seem to have been the ones involving themselves. THAT's problematic.
English
The UEFA and Belgian hyperbole here is insane.
I am not defending FIFA. The process should be more transparent, especially if outside political pressure was involved.
But the idea that U.S. Soccer or the USMNT violated fair play by advocating for Balogun after a controversial call is absurd.
Every federation protects its players when it thinks a decision is wrong. Belgium is literally doing that right now.
The issue is not that the U.S. asked.
The issue is whether FIFA has a consistent and transparent process.
If FIFA has a rule that lets them suspend the enforcement of a punishment, then explain why it applies here and why it will apply the same way next time.
That is a fair criticism.
But the pearl clutching that only starts when a non European country benefits from the gray area is hard to take seriously.
Duplicitous whiners.

@Timo_NFL @foot_ball__guy @Thrylos1893 @benbbaldwin Even if you concede that it should be a red card (it wasn’t and former FIFA referees have agreed with this view), the VAR review process was not performed correctly, thus the reversal. Why is it so difficult to understand.
English
@foot_ball__guy @Thrylos1893 @benbbaldwin I mean they gave it yesterday against England. With the help of VAR, too. It was not quite the same, but it was similarly unintentional, and it was the correct decision again, imo.
You'll never find a 100% same situation, but studs with weight onto an ankle = red card in soccer.

Is it not at least a little bit embarrassing to look so afraid of the United States men's national team
The Athletic | Football@TheAthleticFC
Belgium has been granted the right to appeal against FIFA’s decision to suspend the one-game ban handed to Folarin Balogun, less than 24 hours out from the team’s round of 16 game against the United States. Sources have now told The Athletic the Belgian federation has formally written to FIFA to appeal the matter, and the right to appeal has been granted. Both U.S. Soccer and the Belgian federation were asked to make submissions by 5am PST on Monday morning, which has exasperated the Belgians who have not received the decision by FIFA to review, as it is not made public. A member of the FIFA appeals committee – who does not represent a federation in either UEFA or CONCACAF, so as to avoid any potential conflict of interest – has been selected to hear the case. ✍️ @AdamCrafton_ 🔗 nyti.ms/4f1ZJYQ
