Soccer, Sports and Politics - Part Deux

He was lagging behind in 7th (or strategizing) before the last turn then ran a 12.48 100M and almost won

Phillip Rivers said he was still receiving interest from teams, hence his delayed retirement.

The Kaep fanboys will, undoubtedly, be angry.

 

Jonathan Edwards (triple jump) still holds one of four T&F records from the 20th century. They are all field events.

On August 7, at the 1995 World Championships in Gothenburg, Sweden, Jonathan Edwards produced the two greatest triple jumps the world had seen, one after the other.

In an enthralling 20 minutes of track and field history, he became the first man to jump beyond 18 meters, and the first to go 60 feet.

I saw a few HS yoots clear 6'10" and that's amazing. Sotomayor cleared 8!

 

Saw him play when he was in HS. The atmosphere at the school he attended represented everything good about extracurricular activities and community service.

You're better than this. Or at least your previous posts here suggest you are.

 

Charlie Kirk thinks that last night's South Park episode supported his conservative views. I watched the episode. Their sendup of Mar-a-lago was hilarious. I liked Kristi Noem's face repeatedly falling off.

 

So, MAGA, does backing the blue include supporting the arrests of the twatwaffle thundercunts who throw dildos on the court at basketball games?

 

Neal Brennan on MJ

 

The Tom Brady and Michael Phelps stuff are pretty damn good, too.

 

I couldn’t find the crypto thread, but it fits here too.

You know the recent spate of men throwing dildos onto the court at WNBA games? It was a publicity stunt for a crypto coin. Or, more likely IMO, a crypto group is pretending it’s them to get publicity.

Another part of the agenda for Democrats is to outlaw, or at least make completely unfeasible, crypto. Crypto has two functions.

1. It’s a method for insiders to steal from outsiders.
2. It’s a means by which criminals conduct their business.

Its byproduct is spoiling the environment. It’s the dumbest idea since tulip investments. The whole thing is a collective delusion, Wile E. Coyote suspended in air until he looks down.

And if/when it gets big enough, it will become too big to fail and then we’ll all be in the hook.

 

I couldn't agree more. But there are two problems with your idea. One problem is that you are still working under the delusion that government exists to protect people and that's dumb. Those days are over.

The other is that by the very nature of things, if you ban crypto then it'll just move to Mauritius or the Bahamas or somewhere else.

 

"Of all time" might be a stretch. But by an athlete still in high school? Definitely way up there.

His 1min 42.27sec run was so impressive that Alberto Salazar scandal whistleblower and world-respected coach Steve Magness dubbed it "the most impressive athletic feat in HISTORY."

The high-schooler's performance at Hayward Field saw him become the FOURTH-FASTEST American in track and field history.

Incredibly, his time would've won him every 800m Olympic gold medal except for the 2012, 2016 and 2024 gongs.

I'm generally anti death penalty but there are exceptions:

A spokesman for the crypto group told USA TODAY Sports that was not the intention. He said a group of crypto enthusiasts and traders launched Green Dildo Coin (DILDO), a meme coin intended to be lighthearted and perceived as a joke, in late July to protest what they describe as a "toxic" environment in the crypto world. According to the group, many smaller players in the space are struggling to keep up with the influx of influencers and scammers.

 

Has it lasted longer than Bob Beamon?

 

Well...no. Bob is still alive and well!

 

And here I am, thinking it's dumb MAGA people being sexist. It's crypto bros being sexist.

If not GoldenPalace, then fcking crypto. IDK if it's the number of "Contact Mr. XXXXXX on Telegram" scammers or what, but I'm really starting to detest crypto.

 

I really hopt Sgt. GivesNoEffs with the Brutality Department has extra pepper spray and a taser.

 

For T&F, this IMO is a top 3 high schooler performance. Michael Carter 81'3" in the shot put. He was self-taught too. It's been the #1 mark since 1979.

 

1) I'm not sure what's so funny, but crypto bros think 5th grade humor is funny.

2) Green Dildo Coin is to protest toxicity...by...being toxic. Huh? Make it make sense. Oh wait it's crypto bros.

3) Elon loves it. See my first point.

 

lol

 

He was beamin till Mike Powell stole it away
