    Blows my mind the level of fan interaction english soccer teams have. Watching Sunderland travel to Wembly and the are just surrounded by fans as they get off the train. Back slaps, handshakes, pics, they just are right there with the fans. Just a crazy difference from American sports where there's secluded players entrances, private planes to cordoned off tarmacs, and just a complete separation between fans and players.

    A cool crossover. The business manager from Sund TID was a graduate from Eton (which makes sense). If you watch “The English Game” the Villian team are the Olde Etonians. Alumni from the same school.

    Grant took screenshots of his IG story. Said how sorry he was to the thousands of people laid off by SI and he’s thankful to have a job but at least they got a nice severance and if others gets laid off after a certain date they are owed nothing

    2nd pic was saying that they’re already decreasing his salary 30% during this and are trying to make it a permanent decrease. Then called out a couple people by name for trying to do this

    He does and I’m sure it’s incredible stressful having a spouse that’s in the medical field right now.

    I’ve just also always found him a bit annoying and found posting about people losing their jobs but why it might be worse for you to be in very poor taste. Based on the deletion, I’m guessing he realized that
