It correlates to a high degree with a world-view that rarely gets beyond your naval.

as those who go to/watch UFC.
FIFA Peace Prize? Remember that?

Separate the footballers from their corrupt administrators.
It’s the football we love.

you've never really played on a team, you've never really rooted for a team and you don't understand why professional athletes get paid so much.

How'd i do?

There are thousands of Scottish people in Boston (they call themselves the Tartan Army) playing bagpipes, deliriously happy to be in the World Cup.

There's a German guy called Freddy who is having a blast traveling around the southeastern states unironically praising Waffle House, Taco Bell, Buc-ees, grocery stores, and a whole lot of other things he's enjoying about the U.S.

Many of the games are being played in smaller regional cities. The rosters include several cities in Mexico and Canada so it's a true North American collaboration.

We're watching it on Paramount where it is entirely in Spanish.

Social media is full of ordinary people having a good time with the World Cup and I'm here for it.

It was won by a bunch of really likeable guys. Lots of great stories there, too! I'll take that over a white trash human cockfighting match ANY DAY! And, I suspect that the ratings will say that I'm not alone there.

who has significantly influenced his life.

Bussi made some spectacular saves in last night's game. I was watching it and couldn't understand why anyone would bother with the pedo orange a$$hole's event. AND, during the first intermission I switched over to the College World Series game and just happened to catch UNC Tar Heels go up by 3 in the 7th inning to win 5-2 over West Virginia! Holy cow! What a great night watching games on TV!

This is a guy whose previous team waived him last season to send him back to the minors, where he'd mostly been slogging it out for 4 or 5 years. The Hurricanes claimed him, and he wound up as their back-up this season. He came into the league undrafted, and most guys like that don't have much of an NHL career to speak of. Lots of odds-beating here! I was thrilled to see him get the shut-out!

It's good to remember the good things in this madness.
We can hold them at the same time that we recognize the horrible.

But literally only in RW media is this even an event. It wasn't even a good UFC card.

It seemed like quite a topic of conversation here when I checked in last night, lol. That Freedom concert never had a chance.

Didn't see any of it. UFC isn't really a thing in this house. We ended up watching Disclosure Day.

It was . . . a movie that exists.
