Soccer, Sports and Politics - Part Deux

Oh...well then! Make them promise to go and sin no more!

 

I keed.

But it is hilarious that Jim Hairballs built this cheatin mess then bailed to the NFL.

 

Harbaugh isn’t the first. Juwan Howard was part of the Fab 5 that were proven to be getting paid illegally from Ed Martin’s gambling scheme and was the basketball coach even after he punched someone while coaching.

The whole athletic department needs to be burned down.

 

To be fair, I will never hold the kids getting paid against them. That system was criminal and I am glad its over.

 

I'll allow it

Let's not forget Shempy Schembechler

Schembechler was Michigan's assistant director of recruiting. He scouted for several NFL teams after serving as a GA at Michigan, and also ran his own service providing scouting and intel for high school athletes in search of a scholarship.

In one screen-shot post from January, Schembechler liked multiple messages defending Jim Crow laws. In another, he liked a post associating House minority leader Hakeem Jeffries with African tribal imagery. There were plenty more.

Michigan's blue blood. To even think of getting a death penalty they'd have do something crazy like cover up for a long-time defensive coordinator who ran a kids' foundation in order to procure young boys for buggering in the football facilty's showers.

 

And even then, the "death penalty" wouldn't be right.

(I point to my previous post here as to why it's wrong to do so, no matter the violations.)

 

Sure I can. Yeah, I’m a hater, I admit that freely, but if you look at what has been going on, they sold their soul to beat us and the bill is coming due.

 

What if Moore murdered his girlfriend last week. A fine?

I enjoyed this article and I think you will too. It’s about good and bad soccer statues. The Finney one with the water splashing up is great. The tribute to a fan at Valencia is poignant, and also a thing that wouldn’t happen outside of soccer. The Aguero one is beautiful.

Why do you think an employer should be punished for the private actions of an employee? I’m agnostic on the Michigan-Ohio State rivalry; I have one parent from each state. Maybe I’m missing something.

Indeed.

 

Some damn fine volleyball in the Regional Final in Lincoln, Nebraska this weekend.

Show Spoiler Hide Spoiler

Texas A&M knocked off previously unbeaten Nebraska in their own house in spite of losing an absolutely epic fourth set, 37-35

 

Heisman runner-up, Diego Pavia

 

I was disappointed in Chicago not being a host city for the World Cup, however maybe they lucked out. City isn't smart enough to make a smart decision (see the whole parking meter fiasco) but even a broken clock is right twice a day

You might want to red this article to see a pretty unique PK style. It was utilized against PSV.

Or you might want to read it because of the player’s hilarious-in-English name.

More on Moore

It’s pretty bad. The allegation is that he had a long history of domestic violence. So, not a case where his lover got him fired and then he snapped. He was already violent. She had endured abuse for a while.

 

Forgot about this dumb bastard, Paul Doyle, who ran his car through Liverpool supporters at the parade in May. POS got 21 years.
