@ItsSKhan22 @YoungAngel_ @Ajprellerbrnr @Johnsmithsorta @Jwiesel13 Money alone doesn’t fix the development issue. Soccer has to be played seriously from a young age. In the U.S., a lot of elite athletes are pushed toward football/basketball first, so soccer loses part of that talent pool before those players ever develop.

@ItsSKhan22 @YoungAngel_ @Ajprellerbrnr @Johnsmithsorta @Jwiesel13 Why I said it was a hot take. Now way this can ever be proven, and just delusion. We don’t live an alter dimension where this actually happened that could prove if this is right or wrong.

@YoungAngel_ @ItsSKhan22 @Ajprellerbrnr @Johnsmithsorta @Jwiesel13 Also, hot take. If America prioritized Soccer the way other European/South American countries did, America would have had at least one Messi every generation at minimum.

@ItsSKhan22 @YoungAngel_ @Ajprellerbrnr @Johnsmithsorta @Jwiesel13 AD is a bad example because his height likely works against him in soccer. I’m not saying every elite athlete translates. I’m talking about guards, WRs, RBs, and DBs. Steph, Kyrie, Tyreek, and AB have the footwork, and coordination that could translate if they grew up playing it.

@ItsSKhan22 @YoungAngel_ @Ajprellerbrnr @Johnsmithsorta @Jwiesel13 That’s an appeal to authority and it still misses my point. Nobody said football players could just switch sports today. The argument is that if elite American athletes grew up playing soccer, some of those traits would translate and raise the overall talent pool.

@ItsSKhan22 @YoungAngel_ @Ajprellerbrnr @Johnsmithsorta @Jwiesel13 This is a weird take. Nobody is saying football = soccer. The point is that elite RBs, WRs, DBs, and basketball players have the footwork, speed, coordination, and body control that would translate if they grew up playing soccer.

@CyberJeezy @BenOndaTop “Repeated” means safety violations, not suspensions. The NFL cited 13 infractions since 2020, and he got 3 games—not 4. Whether the play was dangerous isn’t the point. A red card automatically ejects and suspends; NBA/NFL penalties don’t always do both.

@CyberJeezy @BenOndaTop A Flagrant 1 doesn’t get you ejected. A Flagrant 2 does and requires unnecessary and excessive contact. It also doesn’t automatically mean a next-game suspension. Aziz was suspended for repeated safety violations. None of this is comparable to a red card.

@CyberJeezy @BenOndaTop Touching SGA & Mahomes doesn’t get you knocked out of the game & suspended the next game for touching them. A foul/flag happens and you move on. Draymond being suspended playoff games is for a culmination of technicals throughout post season games in a season, also not the same.

@mrnoodlenoseTC @OddsJam Can you get with the OJ people and tell them to update the 4 Pick non insured?

@JaygeeClaps @stfukhi Isn’t this just hindsight? I’m pretty sure consensus going into draft night was: 1. Cade 2/3. Mobley/Green

@spyritwriter @wervvuim @jtanggy @SamQuinnCBS If you get rid of the Max, and had a strict hard cap, then it would be closer to the NFL. I believe this would evenly distribute talent as Elite would command most of the cap, similar to how QBs are now. The only difference is NFL is that the contracts aren’t fully guaranteed.

@Os91413Jon @BillyReinhardt Honest question, do you think the players would give it their all in these games? No reason for players to risk injury if the game is “meaningless” to them and teams are in better position to draft their replacements.

@Smo0thgrandmama @RooshWilliams Three great teams? One great team, one AFC South bully, and a lot of nothing. Citing a ‘tough AFC South’ in 2007–08 while ignoring negative point differential is convenient. DeMeco had a tough schedule this year and still won 10 games, faster than Kubiak.

@Smo0thgrandmama @RooshWilliams You’re trolling right? He had one great team with a serious “What if” injury. Kubiak era is full of nostalgia for a guy who lasted 7 years, with his 8th cut short and had a losing record.

@sethjaxfsu @gmfb @KyleBrandt Maye never played a playoff game, Herbert has choked both. Lawrence has a lower completion percentage and TD-INT ratio than Stroud.

@AyooTexanNation @lothbrook88 @MiggieWillis “Plenty of winning QBs” then goes on to list a QB who is 1 win over .500 and another QB who has a losing record. Lmao.

@jadenn2x @AyooTexanNation @Keepit100Brando Seriously. Mills missed a ton of passes under throwing the receiver. Dude was buns more than half the game. I will give him grace, he didn’t turn the ball over tho.
