Soccer, Sports and Politics - Part Deux

RIP Dikembe.....A larger than life character.

 

Those people are truly crazy.....


Rep. Andy Ogles (R-TN) called for an investigation into Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime performance, citing concerns about its alleged “explicit and indecent content,” the Daily Beast reports.

Said Ogles: “The Apple Music Super Bowl LX Halftime Show was pure smut, brazenly aired on national television for every American family to witness. Children were forced to endure explicit displays of gay sexual acts, women gyrating provocatively, and Bad Bunny shamelessly grabbing his crotch while dry-humping the air.”

He added: “And if that weren’t outrageous enough, the performance’s lyrics openly glorified sodomy and countless other unspeakable depravities. These flagrant, indecent acts are illegal to be displayed on public airways.”

 

I might have to go watch it now!

 

That's not true. Few of you look like Nina Hartley in her 40s and 50s

 

I get that a lot.

 

Dikembe was about to get married, before his actual wife, but it ended when the fiance refused to sign a pre nup the day before the wedding. I have a vague memory that one of the clauses was that she would bear a son within X years (we could call that the Henry the VIIIth clause.). But when I went looking for verification of that detail I couldn’t find it. I found it for the basic facts, that she refused to sign a prenup presented to her the day before the wedding, but not the Henry the VIIIth clause.

Anyone else remember that? At the time, it sounded to me like something salacious used to mock a foreigner. Something I’d call “interesting if true.”

 

Same act thought. Her listeners are Bobo's voters.

 

Puerto Rican Spanish does have its own flair.

Cubans are notoriously hard to understand.

I imagine island nations often quickly digress into a dialect from a continental language, even with TV and radio.

 

Ogles' district was gerrymandered to include parts of Nashville (much of which is where the ICE raids have been), so I'm very familiar with him. He's maliciously and malevolently stupid to an absurd degree. He is among the most vile members of the MAGA cult, no small feat.

 

Chilenos are famous for being hard to understand by other Spanish speakers.

 

When I lived in Costa Rica, it was easy to understand Ticos. But it took a few months for my friends to understand me. But this is what you get when you have every country in the continent having a different word for popcorn.

 

What happens if they wear bigger gloves?

 

Sorta like a winged keel

 

Spurs sack Thomas Frank. I'd like to see Big Sam take them over, to rescue them from relegation, while also seeing his 19th Century-style tactics in the UCL at the same time.

 

Great news guys, tickets will be available!!!

ICE will be 'key part of security' at World Cup in US

 

So, I have family, and most of them are MAGA. And the reason one cousin gave for her family watching the alternative Halftime show was that Bad Bunny wore skirts or a dress or something.

It took every ounce of effort to not call her half way through and say, "this thing not Heterosexual Enough for you?!" But she wasn't watching. But her kids probably were.
