Dudando que aprendieras mucho conmigo, diría que habría que seleccionar el partido con cuidado. Si a lo espeso del contenido de ese texto le sumamos un partido plomo (como los que está protagonizando mi equipo), no pasamos del minuto 15 sin dormirnos. En cualquier caso, gracias por los halagos.

Here is my latest publication: "What Goals? Which Point? Whose Purpose? A Critical Engagement with Sport Internalism" www.mdpi.com/3713414. It is not something I would recommend to non-philosophers, but philosophers of sport might find some parts interesting.

La solución va a ser echar a Arbeloa también. Así seguimos culpando a quien tiene menos culpa.

We may be wondering what "democracy" means today.

Many college players among dozens charged in point-shaving plot A college basketball point-shaving scheme involving more than 39 players on 17 teams resulted in dozens of games in the previous two seasons being fixed by a gambling ring that included a former NBA p...

A natural way to regulate sports betting is to ban prop bets.

Unfortunately, the main kind of bet that people make on football and basketball games is a prop bet. That's why the recurring scandals are point-shaving not match-fixing.

Hahaha great ending

Then, Florentino should fire himself. This is an absolute mess and disgrace

Are they going to fire Arbeloa now?

‘I’d be prouder to be mid-table with our own values than ... Politician Éric Coquerel claims that Strasbourg are now a “vassal” of the west Londoners

Once again, Multi-Club Ownership shows why it's a danger to the integrity of football.

The owner of Strasbourg made a decision that will negatively impact it, to benefit its other club which it sees as the priority, Chelsea FC. 1/3

You sweat in your basement for years writing a book, working that nobody will ever read it - or that they will think you are a complete raving idiot, but then you read an astonishing, soul-warming, got-everything review like this and suddenly you feel like your whole life is not actually a waste.

Nada. Esto huele a emoción para, en el mejor de los casos, morir en la orilla. No ha habido color en toda la primera parte.

El Madrid jugandole al Barcelona al estilo Osasuna, Getafe... Tener tanto talento para jugar así...

As sports economists predicted, paying the players would make college sports more competitive!

Hay muchos de dónde tomar, pero sólo la plantilla de Luxemburgo se asemeja a esta. Talento sin idea alguna de juego ni ejecución.

Tiene sus similitudes también, incluyendo el delantero canterano al que encomendarse ante tanto hastío. En aquel momento fue Mariano, ahora Gonzalo. Se viene revolcón el domingo.

No recuerdo un Real Madrid tan terrible desde la época de Juande Ramos, y en ese caso, había excusa por la falta de talento.

College football wanted parity. Instead, it got chaos.

NIL and the transfer portal didn’t just change the sport — it changed who can win. And this CFP final four is the clearest proof yet.

Man City have spent more than £500m pounds on new talent since being charged with more than 100 Premier League rule breaches. As another window opens, they’re poised to add another top talent, and still there is no ruling. Shames the Premier League how long it’s taken. Man City deny the allegations

In a Year of Violent Tumult, the Sports World Was Silent When the country needed them to speak out, most athletes kept mum—and a few openly embraced embraced Trumpism.
