Soccer is a better spectator sport than football

Don't @ me
Football is socialist as all hell

Hard salary cap

Non-guaranteed contracts

No promotion/relegation
As for the play

Constant stoppages and penalties

Oh, and people giving each other long-term brain damage

If I want to watch fights I'll watch the UFC
If the Browns were a club soccer team they'd be in the fourth division right now

But no

They can suck for decades and keep right on sucking in the NFL

Because the NFL is socialist

A thread on how President Trump could declare a National Emergency

And use his executive authority to #BuildTheWall

With citations (because we're not clowns here)
First, 50 U.S.C. § 1621 gives the President the authority to declare a national emergency.

He must transmit the proclamation to Congress and publish it in the Federal Register.
50 U.S.C. § 1631 requires that the President specify the *other* statutes he intends to invoke to justify further actions.

We'll explore some of those other statutes in a few posts.

"The decision to pull out of Syria...was a precipitating event for my going on this record."

Got it, Mitt.

The moment Trump decides to honor his campaign promises, you decide to stab him in the back
Pretty clear that Mitt Romney came in with one talking point:

"Where we agree, we'll work together, where we disagree, we won't."

What a bold, courageous position to take

Totally justifies writing a hostile op-ed for a hostile outlet before he's even seated
"Honesty, Empathy, Forthrightness..."

Very clear that Romney is echoing Jonah Goldberg's critique of character

I discussed that yesterday in depth

French hates Twitter, but understands that he has to use it in order to remain influential.

I love Twitter precisely because it has democratized political commentary and influence.
There are still gatekeeping mechanisms - the blue checkmark, and the hurdle of getting enough followers/friends to ensure your tweets aren't just shouted into the aether.

But once you get over that hurdle, it's game on - and it's a meritocracy.
20 years ago, if you wanted political influence, you needed to persuade someone like Rich Lowry or Bill Kristol to publish you.

Once you had that, you were golden.

But if the gatekeepers kept you out, you were SOL.

“If the path before you is clear, you are probably on someone else’s.” Purpose leaves you in doubt of your sanity. It is never clear but requires your faith and trust in God. The peace you get is the assurance that all will be well. Pilots trust instrument clusters not clouds.⛱
One would have thought that Tweets with Childlock as this, simplified to the fullest will not need explanation but they sometimes confuse the simple folks one was trying to help from sinking in the linguistic territory abnitio.
There is no one with a meaningful purpose that has a clear path. You can only have clarity on your ability and capacity (if you have found yourself) and would need to trust God in the rest. Look at Moses, was his path clear before the read sea? Of course not. It seemed impossible

– a lot of fluff, but also angst, smut 🔞
– top ! jk
– bottom ! yg

♡ don’t reply to the thread
Yoongi rolled over onto his stomach with a low groan, tossing his phone to the side and glancing over at his best friend. A small grin curled at his lips when he caught sight of him. His long limbs were spread out, soft snores were escaping his pouted lips, and he looked relaxed.

YOONMIN AU

soccer team captain Min Yoongi finally has a crush on someone! It’s surprising, he has never shown interest in anyone. Park Jimin, the new student is lucky to have the captain’s attention but the boy doesn’t want anything to do with soccer players, he hates soccer.
Please don’t reply to the thread or it will break~

This AU is inspired on Matt and Julie from the TV Show Friday Night Lights. But this is soccer, goal and keeper y’know. Also, high school students feel everything ten times more intense so don’t judge these dramatic babies.
Yoongi knows today's an important day. For the team, for him. It’s the first day of his last year on school, his first day as the captain of the soccer team and the day when they will finally meet their new coach. To say he's nervous is an understatement. He's panicking.

🏈Can Trump’s entire adult life be defined by his maniacal dream to own an NFL team? Trump #ArtyDealMaker purchased the USFL New Jersey Generals in 1983 & made rash decisions despite multiple loud protests. The result? The destruction of the entire USFL league 3 years later.
🍊Trump re: USFL ▶️ In order to get what he wanted he lied (apparently even to his lawyers), cajoled, tangled asses with the NFL commissioner & the other owners—and despite multiple warnings that what he was doing was completely stupid—did it anyway. Yes, HE ALONE DID IT.
💪The rough-and-tough-NFL is everything Trump thinks he is, but the reputation of football is in fact not what he represents—it is only what he wishes he was. The NFL is full of perhaps his definition of “strong men,” who play hard and hit hard.

Why Croatia winning the World Cup would mark the most glorious banter era in football history. (Thread) #cro
Let's start on a high note. Croatia travel to Wembley with nothing to play for while England need just a draw to qualify for Euro 2008. A Scott Carson howler later and Croatia win 3-2 and knock England out anyway.
After an excellent display at Wembley, Luka Modric joins Tottenham and transfers a percentage of the transfer fee to a Dinamo Zagreb director called Zdravko Mamic. Everything that happens next started here.

(NFL GUARANTEED MONEY THREAD)

I will never understand how billionaire team owners have convinced the public that the players, who put their bodies on the line every week and make less than 50% of league revenue, are the “ungrateful” ones.
Considering football’s level of brute, immanent physicality, high turnover as well as the short life cycle of its participants, it would seem to me that NFL players are in the most need of fully guaranteed contracts.
Many argue that trying to compare the league-player dynamic in the NFL with other sports is apples to oranges. Yes & no. League revenues are skyrocketing, a monster media rights deal is on the horizon, the business of football will never be the same.
