Soccer, sports and politics (R)

So many of them try it... That "we can have political differences and still be friends..." garbage.

No, no, we can't.

Because of the demographics, my survival depends on the support of more people than those who look like me. If my existence is less important than your privilege, we can't be friends or even acquaintances.

 

Now that I re-read it, I could see that take. He's a dick just for being annoying, pretend-to-know-it-all, LaLa.

 

The whole "my president"(or not) thing is the dead giveaway. Lots of people of that ilk would claim that Obama was "not [their] president." I can't imagine why...

In the past, there used to be people who would say something along the lines of "even though I didn't vote for him, we still have to respect the office of the presidency." Of course since the last few years all of that went flying out the window faster than a mutton vindaloo through a lager lout's colon.

 

Epic ponytails do not equal Liberalism. I wonder what Marcelo's posted the last 6-7 years?

 

In the '90s Lalas fancied hisself as an Indy Rocker or something like that. He even cut a (absolutely terrible) record in the early days of MLS. Our fanzine "Pictures of Chairman Mao," enjoyed busting his chops. His "band" played at some Revs fan function and since the assistant coach, Renato Copabianco was the drummer, we referred to them as "The Renato Copabinaco Quartet."

Then he cut his hair when they traded him to the MetroStars, and when he was traded to Kansas City after that he started to look like a Young Republican instead of a Dirty Old Hippie.

 

No, no you really don't (at least, I hope you don't).

 

What a joke. Saw thru it early on. Him and his dreadnought, IIRC.
Either be that guy or don't.

When the only gig your band has to play is at your workplace or arranged by a family member, you're not in a band.

 

OK, you can have the "honor" of being the music review critic and listen to all eight(!) of his albums. I will take your word on whatever your opinion may be, just so I don't have to listen myself.

 

But you don't get to make eight albums --not on somebody else's dime, anyway-- unless the first two or three sell reasonably well. At that point, it isn't about whether we like his music or not.

Bruh, even the Police only recorded five.

 

Lalas went to Cranbrook, the same private high school as Mitt Romney did and grew up in Birmingham, a town where if you're living there, you're loaded. Not surprised that he's a Republican.

 

This is where the whole "Do you own research" stumbles on itself.

 

If he has eight albums and nobody here likes anything on them enough to tell us so, they all probably suck

 

Seems to happen a lot with US Soccer.

 

Move over Piquet, we've got one here

Soccer star Sebastian Lletget says he's the victim of an "extortion plot" amid rumors he cheated on his fiancee, Becky G -- but admits he did, in fact, screw up. https://t.co/8p6jWZuJ01

So, who is this "up" person in that tweet?[emoji848][emoji848][emoji848]

 

Surprised there hasn't been a band who covers nothing but Lala's songs and dresses up like him & other 90s USMNT players. Kasey Keller would definitely handle drums.

 

Like that scene in Point Break where the presidents rob a bank or something

 

At some point in every concert a woman comes up on stage, grabs the mic & says "Eric - I don't love you any more. I'm on Team Harkes now" then makes out with the fake Harkes. Waldo goes ballistic and chaos ensues.
