A contact sport where you aren’t allowed to defend yourself, or try to avoid blows, shouldn’t even exist. And someone like Dana, who knows the dangers of traumatic brain injuries, damn sure shouldn’t be involved. It just goes to show you he really doesn’t give two sh*ts about these people.

Honor and Respect 🪶 Greetings from Saint Augustine Florida.

It's not about how many clicks a video or subscribers a platform has. It's about Active Viewers/Users. For example, social media companies care more about daily and weekly active users, than how many subscribers they have since having subscribers doesn't necessarily equate to having active participation in order to truly capitalize, like clicking on a stream doesn't equate to active viewership.

Its not on tbs cause its to hard to pull veiwers on tbs i have to buy a a streaming subscription just to watch

“Power tends to corrupt - and absolute Power corrupts absolutely.” - An observation that a person's sense of morality lessens as his or her power increases. The statement was made by Lord Acton, a British historian of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

It's fine to give it attention. Good arguments always win over time.

Chael has had Ariels back forever, tbh I think Ariel kinda ditched Chael for DC and DC never gave the same love back. If anyone should feel a little underappreciated its the bad guy

For a european fan (MCFC fan myself) it never stops being weird to see the difference between the sports in terms of hype etc. To be uptodate in depth both for european sports (mainly soccer) and american sports like NBL or NHL takes much I'm pretty damn sure. Your kid chose the perfect team for your common interest. If you want to go deeper in theory than your kid, focus on pep guardiola and his tactics.... this guy is the best soccer coach active, making the real stars and goats out of talents, making the superstars even learn other positions (defenders play as midfielders, midfielders as "false" strikers etc) came here by being hardcore mma fan (which is unusual over here) and ended commenting about soccer haha, that can only happen at helwanis show hahah

Getting in a cage to fight doesn't make them better men than you. You had nice upbringing and conflict is not the norm. For some people, its no big deal as they grew up fighting and others are life long combat athletes. No of that makes you better, just different paths. Taking care of your responsibilities and not doing bad things is what makes you better, not having the courage to fight someone else for sport.
