What this article fails to discuss is that the World Cup games in question are at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, which is [checks notes] NOT IN BOSTON

And he should know this because he briefly attended a Jets/Pats game I went to 15 years ago (his helicopter took off during the 2nd quarter)

Trump threatens to yank World Cup games from Boston though it’s up to FIFA to choose sites

The city is set to host seven matches.

I’m sorry to keep bringing this up but I can’t believe the Red Sox let a player with Mookie Betts’ talent, work ethic, and baseball IQ go

If you had asked me what a successful 2025 Pats season would have been before Week 1, I would have said 9-8. Win more games than the last two seasons combined and finish above .500.

This is why I always chuckle whenever I hear some elected Dem talk about a bipartisan deal to re-open the government like dude you're the last person left on earth that hasn't heard about the business stylings of Donald Trump. The Art of the Deal is not paying for services rendered

Trump promised free plane tickets and $1,000 “exit bonuses” to immigrants who opted to self-deport.

ProPublica spoke to a dozen Venezuelan immigrants who said they followed the president’s instructions, yet never received the promised assistance.

“I Don’t Want to Be Here Anymore”: They Tried to Self-Deport, Then Got Stranded in Trump’s America

Venezuelan immigrants signed up for a Trump-promoted app called CBP Home, which promised a safe and easy way to leave the country, and prepared to leave on their given departure dates. Those dates hav...

White people who have spent decades thinking “Born in the USA” is patriotic and “Every Breath You Take” is a great wedding song are suddenly very concerned about not being able to understand lyrics to some songs at the Super Bowl halftime show.
