sports follow all other industries here. owners/execs get rich at minimal risk and workers get far less than their fair share of what is being produced.
If you're bored, there's an U19 Euros game that just started on Univision Deportes. France up 1-0 on Turkey early
Ozil comes off as naive in this lame excuse for meeting Erdogan that his PR team somehow took months to write. "The picture we took had no political intentions." Ok, It just coincidentally happened to be right before the Turkish elections when Erdogan was trying to rally his German ex-pat base. "It didn't matter who was President, it mattered that it was the President." Never mind, he's not naive. He's fucking thick as a brick.
I did. I'll just copy what I sent in one of the fifa group texts. He certainly has been mistreated and used as a scapegoat. The issue for the Germans w/ Erdogan pictures was always how it played into the greater conversation of immigrant integration, good for him for not putting up with racial abuse. I still think he's a dumbass for thinking taking pictures with an autocrat at odds with the German government right before an election was politically benign. And I cannot for the life of me understand why Gundogan is not getting shit on as hard as Ozil.
Interesting factoid I just heard on talksport - the top 6 La Liga sides last year all ran 4-4-2 as the preferred formation.
Comcast pulled beIN Sports from its programming and it sounds like Fios could be next. really shitty timing.
There's a U-20 Women's World Cup Group Stage match, not involving the US, live on FS1 currently. That's pretty cool I think.
Agreed, but not cool that the fucking community shield isn’t on. Unless I am just dumb and can’t find it.
