Lol…How the fuck are there people still like this out there? Wake up sheep
Anyway, your argument is missing a point. This guy isn’t banned simply for being anti-vax. Last I checked he was anti-vax last year and yet he was allowed to participate in the US Open. This was when covid paranoia was much higher.
So yeah, this guy was given the benefit of the doubt and he screwed the pooch. He fucked up and this year he’s paying the price.
No you are trying to combine the 2 points into one ruling…For some reason I have no idea why. He doesn’t need benefit of the doubt lol…I thought we were following science nowadays?
No, not his stance last year. What removes his benefit of the doubt were his previous ACTIONS. Dude tested positive and flagrantly ignored the protocol. If you wanna be anti-vax, fine, but be responsible about it. He was a dick and now he’s paying the price. Even Serbia was like, bro, not cool.
Yes millions around the world do like soccer, but in many countries they don’t play American-style football, so they have not been exposed to the high excitement of a more interesting game. Nevertheless, basketball now has a huge world following, so I imagine many people with lower thresholds for extreme boredom will start rejecting soccer and become basketball fans.
Play clock, TV timeouts, timeouts, break in action every play, quarter and halftime breaks. 4 hours of your life you will never get back IF you don’t tailgate for 4-6 hours before hand.
The best American football is the replay on YouTube which cuts out 3 hours and 36 mins of breaks to watch 24m of actual gameplay.
A snoozefuckingfest.
What is that, 10% of actual American football is the game being played?
Real Football
Real football on the other hand is 45m of non stop athletic action, break for 20m and then an additional 45m of nonstop action. If you are lucky, a couple of short OTs and perhaps a coinflip PK session. With no OT in and out in 2hrs
Oh, and it is actually played with your foot mostly.
75% of your time is actually watching sport being played.
People do not pretend to like football. It is an intrinsically fascinating game. Many people, especially those who want to be considered liberally chic, pretend to like soccer which is an insipid game. Perhaps soccer would be improved were its players arms amputated since they are of no value whatsoever playing the sport.
Recently, I’ve become a fan of women’s beach volleyball. Lots of action and wonderful uniforms gives it both a sportsmanlike and erotic appeal. Maybe I’d like women’s soccer better were the participants a little more Reubenesque and wore more enticing uniforms. Our women’s soccer teams are comprised primarily of aesthetically impaired women. Perhaps if the game were Hefnerized, and the players had little bunny tail uniforms, it would be wildly popular and the players would experience considerable salary enhancement. Put a little jiggle in the game.
You old fellas seem to dig that meth addict look of the early 70s, still feeling that the fake “machismo” of the 70s as your baseline, despite it being a charade to hide homosexuality at the time in quite a few cases. Those rail thin, Missouri white trash cheek bones, saddle seat claptrap walking like she’s ridden a horse for 13 years kind of look are you thing.
These soccer chicks are built like “plaowwwwww”, hot as hell, and don’t look like they’ve been doing crack for the last 7 months. Obviously, not your thing…but, again, you’re incorrect.
As for soccer…hate watching it. Most difficult sport I’ve ever played, however. I played football from 5-17, baseball from 6 yrs old, quite a few track events like hurdles, long jump, high jump, basketball until sophomore year in hs, and lots and lots of fraternity intramural in college…soccer was fucking difficult. The gap between those who can those who can’t is so much farther in soccer than any sport I’ve encountered outside of jujitsu.
