Sports and football are not just about winning, they’re also about respect for your teammates and rivals. 🤝 #BallonDOr

I never want to hear about how Americans are propagandized again. We learn about the founding fathers' slaves in middle school, meanwhile grown ass adults in China think Mao was under democratic constraints somehow.

La Liga will “implement a protocol for awareness and communication that promotes respect for different cultures and helps prevent similar situations.”
These absurd controversies don’t just end at groveling apologies. There are also questions about players’ free expression here.
LALIGA lamenta profundamente la ofensa que los recientes comentarios de Kylian Mbappé han causado entre los aficionados chinos. Estos comentarios fueron realizados a título personal y no representan a LALIGA. En la medida de nuestra responsabilidad institucional, pedimos disculpas en nombre de LALIGA y de todos sus clubes.
El fútbol español defiende el respeto, la convivencia y la unión entre personas de todas las culturas. Trasladamos nuestro respeto a China, a sus instituciones y a su pueblo, y valoramos profundamente el apoyo de los millones de aficionados que nos siguen cada semana. Reafirmamos nuestro compromiso con una relación construida durante años.
Estamos trabajando con nuestros socios e interlocutores institucionales en China para abordar esta situación. Asimismo, pondremos en marcha, en colaboración con los clubes y los jugadores, un protocolo de sensibilización y comunicación que promueva el respeto a las distintas culturas y contribuya a prevenir situaciones similares.

This is very simple.
The Sox treated Benetti terribly on his way out and thus set up whoever was going to succeed him to fail to fill his shoes.
Schriffen was a poor choice. I didn’t enjoy listening to him, but the personal vitriol directed at him was way out of line.

Jon Stewart's really horrific effect on the general epistemic environment educated people are in remains under-discussed
HBO's @LastWeekTonight has a long track record of citing social science findings without the appropriate context, massaging them to support whatever point @iamjohnoliver is trying to make.

Well, David (your real name), if you lived here you would know his "renovation" of Hains Point will cut off all public access to the playground, picnic area, running/biking roads, etc. But you don't live here and don't know what you are talking about. Par for the course!

Oh this story is delicious. Some choice parts for you:
The internet told them Europe was a social paradise. Turns out the trains are awful, the health care isn’t free, and people can be really mean. buff.ly/5cLtnha

We need a "mothers against drunk drivers" style campaign endorsing self-driving cars, because they WILL save countless children's lives.
There is so much blood on the hands of people blocking the rollout of this tech.

In addition to eliminating access for local runners (like me) who frequent East Potomac Park, this would remove significant portions of the Marine Corps Marathon, Cherry Blossom 10 Miler, DC Half & other races that draw tens of thousands of people from all over the world.

Imagine eliminating a public park area used by tens of thousands of runners, walkers and picnickers to spend millions of dollars to build a "world-class" golf course that no one seems to want except a president who has publicly demeaned a judge and defied court orders to do so.

.@dr_inserra and I have a new paper out today. In it we look at youth online safety policy such as age verfication about the 6 clear potential harms/costs that should be weighed against any purported benefits. You can read the full paper here: cato.org/briefing-paper/onli…

Surprise: An anti-Waymo astroturf group sounds like it is quite obviously a front for Uber, with whom it shares "public affairs" consultants in New York and Pennsylvania. washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/…

if you are pining for the days of letting the quarterback's mom take recruit families on strip club visits and being ranked 67th in scoring with two first rounders, a third rounder and a sixth rounder on offense I do not know what to tell you
