Just read that thread about crying at work. Has @John Price ever cried at work?

The "at work" clause renders him ineligible.

Sneaking into the top ten CHL list is usually the harbinger to a upcoming slump.

They've had a good season so far, the stingiest team so far in the O

After seeing this a few days ago I am convinced this is the best moment in the history of cinema.

The best sequence in the movie is definitely the dinner at Tommy’s mom’s house in the middle of the night.

“Ma, it’s a sin. I can’t leave it there, you know?”

I only have 30k! How am I supposed to buy property!

LOL this gta vc mission

"You idiot! you have destroyed the merchandise!"

Technically the drug dealer shot at me and blew my car up

Watched Don't Look Up on Netflix.

While I like some Adam McKay movies, this one isn't good.

The whole movie is the same one-note joke of "society sucks, am I right". It feels like it wants to be a Coen brothers movie so bad, but lacks any kind of cleverness or wit. There are some great performances, such as Jonah Hill and Timothy Chalamet, but they were few and far between.

It wasn't terrible, it just wasn't all that funny outside of a handful of moments.

This narrative was debunked during the Olympics when the us women looked like crap and barely beat the likes of NZ, etc. In FACT the opener to that olympic tournament was a loss to Sweden!

Sadly the Olympics have criteria for qualification (France losing to US in the WWC quarterfinals basically eliminated them from Olympic qualification) so the Olympic tournament did not have some of Europe's best, but if you sit down and watch a WWC you will see that the rest of the world cares about women's soccer. This is a long held fallacy which is very untrue. Women's soccer leagues exist in France, England, and throughout Europe as well as Australia and New Zealand. Saying that the rest of the world does not care about women's soccer is very untrue, especially when the rest of the world fields teams that are now capable of beating the US.

In the past, the US used their Title IX advantage and college developmental programs to have an overwhelming advantage over the rest of the world. Women attended premiere colleges like UNC, Florida, Stanford, et al and carried on a career either in the NWSL or the former WUSA. The rest of the world pretty much caught up to the US in the last WWC, and the latest iteration of the Olympics was a sign that the US is no longer as invincible as they used to be.

The BBC have recently done a huge push to make England women's sports teams relevant by relentlessly forcing it down our throats.

Women's cricket is constantly on the BBC Sport front page even though it's only people of a certain demographic who care about the men's cricket.

I don't think people actually care about the England women's football team but all the Premier League clubs have essentially been forced to make their women's teams fully professional by PC culture. Manchester United famously held out and didn't even have a women's team until a few years ago when they were eventually coerced into having one by relentless public shaming and it was damaging their brand.

 

[Siamese Dream]

There's absolutely no way any of it is financially viable, they're propped up by the money from the men's game and the governing bodies haemorrhaging money.

In the ruggers it was only England who could actually afford to make their women's teams professional and very recently the Welsh and Irish unions were forced into doing it by public shaming. Wales can barely afford to keep the 4 men's regional teams afloat, so this will be interesting in a few years when they're spunking money up the wall for the national women's team as well.
