English clubs were banned from European football lol
Reposted by Rob Parritt
Football matches had become so violent and unsafe in England by the mid-1980s that attendance was dropping rapidly; it seemed quite possible to imagine the game dwindling away entirely. Jenrick (born 1982) is fantasizing about a world he neither remembers nor understands.
Does Robert Jenrick even realise English clubs were banned from playing in any European football competitions after May 1985 for the rest of the decade, returning only in 1990/91, after Heysel disaster, as UEFA + our government felt fans couldn't be policed safely travelling away?

In our non-DEI meritocracy, Larry Ellison's son bought CBS so that Bari Weiss could then put her sister on air.
UPDATE: Per our scoop last night, Suzy Weiss, sister of Bari, did indeed appear on CBS this morning to talk about her recent article in The Free Press.

Second Free Press writer on CBS this week.

NEW: Josh Minott was in awe of TD Garden in his debut.

“The crowd might have to chill out, because I was feeling invincible.”

He's never seen a preseason crowd like this before.

"The whole city, it just seems like everybody’s a die-hard fan.”

Josh Minott has never experienced this before
The Celtics forward was struck by TD Garden’s rowdy preseason atmosphere as he put together another strong all-around game.

Every democrat should be talking like this. Not the feckless mueller time version of this that we’ve had for years, but actual promises of actual consequences

As long as it goes unpunished we’ll never be free of this
We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.

When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.
Looked like catch and fumble to me 😉
I had parents at a u-10 soccer game last weekend screaming at my son and telling the refs to “get him outta here” and “he’s a dirty player” because he fouled an opposing player on a breakaway. They booed him lol. It’s U-9 SHITTY, MAINE TRAVEL SOCCER for goodness sake

Dire as the stakes are, leaning into absurdist and lighthearted forms of protest seems like a great way to puncture the fantasy Trump & co are spinning to attempt to rationalize a violent crackdown.
As the administration goes all in on an alternate reality about portland that bears no resemblance to fact and rule of law, continuing radical (and just plain funny, ridiculing) acts of the imagination along with other ways of getting out the reality on the ground may help curb their momentum.

Portland is so good at trolling these fascists.

Yeah. It was diabolical lol
I feel awful for the boys they’ve fought hard, sometimes things just don’t go your way but man it’s rough on them
My boy’s soccer team has had absolute kick in the nuts results this week. On Saturday, led 1-0 for about 45 minutes until the other team scored on a corner with 20 seconds to go. 1-1 draw. Tonight nil-nil with 10 seconds left in OT and the other team bangs in an upper 90 free kick, lose 1-0
This is great news
THE CHICKENS ARE FINALLY COMING HOME TO ROOST

Ryan Walters is out & the investigation floodgates just opened. The Oklahoma AG launched a full audit of Walters’ entire tenure as Superintendent, and it’s about damn time.

Also the education dept website’s being scrubbed of his culture-war nonsense.

FSU-Miami is such an aesthetically pleasing matchup. Two iconic uniforms that really pop in contrast on the field
