Β» The Consequences of Caring
Going down a weird sports writing memory lane of articles I've enjoyed enough to save on my computer/phone, and this one feels pertinent tonight: grantland.com/features/the...
Some Boston kid Pats fan just signed up for a lifetime of sports suffering off the gut punch of tonight.

Honestly fitting given this has been a 0-0 game but Alajualense have spanked 4 shots from distance on a pitch infected with EM waves from a substation

You know some owners are angrily calling Goodell right now and heβs hitting them with the Michael Masi βitβs called a halftime show Robertβ

We only punish defenders who foul attackers not attackers who foul defenders in this household

The Szob one is only a red because it denies Haalandβs ability score a goal, in some non threatening situation I think itβs no card at all (like Haalandβs)
Both are validly in play

Haaland foul likely deemed careless and just a foul (which is correct imo. That sort of pullback only ever a yellow for stopping a promising attack)

Watching their preseason game (that they're currently winning) after watching their other one. Not looking good.

I saw Charlton Coventry at the Valley over Christmas, genuinely one of my favourite stadiums I've ever been to.
Plough Lane for Wimbledon is amazing too, if you get the chance.

Watching some Lindsay Vonn footage from the Olympics, 1 week post ACL tear and my thought is:
I tore my ACL 9 months ago and have so much scar tissue I regularly stand up from sitting and think the scar tissue breaking up is my pants ripping (minimum 3 times a week). She is skiing in the Olympics.

I know the summer olympics is βmoreβ the Olympics but I personally enjoy that the Winter Olympics are just in random winter cities. Like 2034 is in Salt Lake again.
