Soccer, Sports and Politics - Part Deux

Did they ever win? I think they have a couple of runner up finishes, but I don't recall them winning

 

Maybe in the Chuck Taylor Era but mostly been a non-entity

UCONN has the best men's & women's program in recent memory. Unless the UCLA women were good during the men's run. I have no idea.

 

This guy was a Wypipo hero in the 80s I think

 

Even if they were, inaugural women's NCAA BB title game was 1982, so no way to tell. AIAW did something or another starting in the early 70s, but I don't know if it's worth mentioning without the NCAA branding. UCLA's run of seven started in '67, two before and one after.

 

Damn! He'll strike out rightys & leftys

He could pitch on fewer days of rest... I guess. Don't quote me on that

 

Could start then next day maybe come out of the bullpen. Pay the dude double if he makes it to the majors. Or just be a lefty/righty specialist out of the pen in the same inning.

 

Jorge “el Sueno” Villafana has retired. Loved his story.

 

Another "NYC is a lawless hellhole" story. Yoot team couldn't get immigrants off a field

Cleared it no problem

The greatest of all-time.

MONDO DUPLANTIS BREAKS HIS OWN POLE VAULT WORLD RECORD — 6.24M!pic.twitter.com/7pyzToaZ7q

He might have cleared 6.5m with that vault!

 

Yeah, talk about shooting yourself in the foot, giving people who want a reason to hate you the perfect reason- you ********ed over their kids.

Somebody needs to give these people a heads up about keeping their heads down when they get here... "We have rules and regulations in this country, and you're going to have to learn to follow them. Flouting conventions calls attention to you, and you already know you're not supposed to even be here, so don't raise their ire any more than it's already raised".

When we (school team I coached) practiced, there were always two full teams of grown men, almost certainly recent immigrants, waiting to use the pitch when we finished. But that was Georgia, so they waited politely. I stuck around and watched them once. They weren't bad.

 

Didn't bubtka say he would slowly increase the bar to make more money for constantly breaking breaking the record.

 

They just made this worse for a bunch of immigrants. I have lived in NYC and never seen this problem occur, they always knew to wait. This is wild to me

 

Exactly. The right will use it again to bash cities.

Interesting how the Right rank and file have so few cultural needs. It's like all of them want to live in a town of 20K or fewer... no education, no jazz, no exotic food, music, or literature, no nothing but big brand stores and restaurants.

 

Isnt the Post an immigrant bashing Murdoch joint? How reliable is this reporting?

 

Ok I’m a little late to the party.

But it does make me a bit nervous, and yet validated. It just shows why I’m right that a Trump of the left would find an audience for propagandic lies very easily. Look at how many fell for this without an ounce of skepticism.

 

OTOH it's the NY Post so exaggerating what the eeevil immigrants did could also be happening

 

You forgot a good multi-plex.

The left bashes small, rural towns all the time. I get it all the time, plus I'm assumed to be stupider than the urban elites. Pisses me off, actually.

People have different wants and desires, which is why we have small towns and big cities, so that folks can sort themselves accordingly. I've been in this small town paradise for 32 years and I'm so sick of it I could scream (and we're planning on moving to the city to retire) but I don't lock my house/car and I could let my kids shop unattended int he cereal aisle while I shopped without having child protective services beat down my door.

 

Quiet you dumb hillbilly! The adult city folk are talking.

 

Yeah. It's stupid to run a marathon if you are able to do it,10 minutes faster than the current record holder.
If you're smart you take off 30 seconds, then the last guy runs and improves your record with 30 seconds etc.
Marathon track managers love to sign a possible world record Marathon time. So give it to several tracks and make money 10 times instead of once in a 10 minutes blow of the record.

 

What's the difference between a dumb hillbilly and a stupid redneck?

 

Stupid rednecks vote R.Dumb hillbillies vote for Democrats who will preserve polluting industries and are low key racist.
