LANDLORDS COWER IN FEAR OF MAOTRAIN
"that train pic is too powerful lmao" - u/Cadende
We’d actually play street soccer at the local high school - there was a big entry way with concrete walls and low concrete benches on either and and a big glass entry on the other. And it was lit up overnight - so we’d just play small-sides there all night on the weekends. Cops didn’t care until we broke one of the glass panels. That’s footy innit
Well with baseball you just need a sandlot with giant dog in a nearby yard.
Street football ruins the ball and a goalkeeper can't dive without grass
putting on motorcycle armor so i can dive for balls on concrete
America's best athletes get funneled into America's most popular sports. We have world class footballers, they're just playing the other one.
(The other football is Gaelic, the Yanks are trying to break into the Irish market due to lower taxes)
We need to crossbreed the rules of Gaelic, Yank, Australian, and Canadian football into one universal alternative football that can truly rival association football.
We can call that soccer.
Literally this. I taught high school. One of my students was from Liberia and he loved soccer. Tall (6'4") young man, fast, strong, a good student, too. Respectful, just an all around good person.
One day, the football coach saw him walking to class, stopped right in front of him, and said, "you, you're playing football!" and that kid did play football for the rest of high school and then for a scholarship to play football in college. He did not make it to the NFL, obviously, because there's like a 99% chance that's not gonna happen
still though a scholarship for football is kind of a good trade as long as you don't get too incredibly jacked the fuck up in your time in, it's a better deal than the u.s. military for sure
like 50+% chance of being maimed but at least a 0% chance of doing a war crime
Almost every city has some sort of open lot or field in a neighborhood. If it's nit a formal park, an abandoned or empty lot will do (though many are fenced off, this rarely stops kids who are determined to use it). Even dense cities have these. Brazil is car-centric and dense in places as well, but it doesn't stop them
The hypocrisy of boomers suddenly giving a shit about football ONLY because it's in THEIR country. When for decades they derided soccer as "gay" (pejorative) and for "europeans".
There was an entire episode of King of the Hill about how much Hank hates soccer
Hank: Soccer was invented by European women to keep themselves busy while their husbands did the housework
Bobby: Dad, why do you hate what you don't understand?
Hank: I don't hate you Bobby
Bobby: I'm talking about Soccer
Hank: Oh, yes, I hate Soccer (leaves the room)
And this was basically 70% of people in the USA
Bobby: Dad, why do you hate what you don't understand?
Hank: I don't hate you Bobby
they follow up on that in the revival and it's pretty good. new episodes on the 20th too.
Fingers crossed the Rockettes don't find out about Bobby. The Wind really needs him as one of 9 co-captains.
One of my favorite episodes if only for Coach Sauer
Coach Sauer: Gribble. No one's killed you yet.
With your sneakers with the straps and pumps and the lights that could give someone a seizure, but what do you care?! I ran around the world in a pair of Chuck Taylors
Take a salt tablet
Heh heh, "Sour Coach Sauers"...we came up with that one at a Christian athletes conference. Ah, we were good kids though.
The new space movie with Julia Louis-Dreyfuss?
I heard it's got special effects
This is why I love this website
Cool people who like things I do who are also nice people
Doesn't Texas have the most per capita installed renewables? (Don't tell the gammons!)
