It is more expensive for other people to buy you an avatar, so maybe just post better until you get a new one.

Youth football participation rates are already dropping. Sally the suburban SUV mom isn't going to give her kids brain damage to own the libs, at least not with sports. Between that and the NFL getting hit from both sides football is probably at its zenith and there is no better time to start pumping soccer. You've also got a rather large and growing hispanic population that has cultural ties to it. That said, I still wish not a single public dollar was going to fund this poo poo.

Forget Sally the suburban SUV mom, I grew up playing football and I'm not gonna let my kid play. Saw some study awhile back that showed kids that played football had something like five times the incidence of mental health diagnosis by age 21 (it was like 60% vs 12% or something like that) and that was my breaking point.

edit: not to overestimate my own importance but I can't help but feel like if football is even losing parents like me it's totally hosed long term. Not like "there will be no football" hosed especially because the south but nothing like it is today.

No, it's from the old game Syndergaard got chucked from. That pitch was the last straw after a few bad ones so the ump ejected him and the crowd was pissed.

UN held emergency meeting RE: Gaza

quote:

The U.N. General Assembly has approved a Palestinian-backed resolution blaming Israel for violence in Gaza after narrowly rejecting a U.S. demand to add an amendment condemning attacks on Israel by Gaza’s Hamas rulers.

The votes reflected wide concern in the 193-member world body that the resolution sponsored by Arab and Islamic nations was one-sided and failed to even mention Hamas, which has fired over 100 rockets at Israel.

The U.S. amendment to condemn Hamas, which was voted on first, was approved by a vote of 62-58 with 42 abstentions. General Assembly President Miroslav Lajcak declared that under U.N. rules a two-thirds vote was needed so the amendment failed.

The assembly then voted on the original Palestinian-backed resolution which was approved by a vote of 120-8 with 45 abstentions.

We voted against it, because Israel triggers the Holy War quest and blah blah blah Jesus II: Owning The Libs

I had five concussions in three years playing football. One knocked me out cold and I still have the bump on my head from it.

Specifically, this line right here:


That article posted:

A firm contributes what is essentially a down payment using its own funds and then finances the rest with debt. But in the case of a buyout, the firm doesn’t have to pay back the mortgage; instead, the company it bought assumes the debt.

Toys “R” Us was still paying interest on loans it got from KKR and Bain up until 2016, as well as millions a year in “advisory fees” for unspecified services rendered. According to one estimate, the money KKR and Bain partners earned from those fees more than covered the firms’ losses in the deal.

Private equity can stack the deck in other ways, too. Firms can direct businesses they own to buy other companies and then act as broker on the deals, reaping transaction fees.

Hey guys the free market is great, capitalism is awesome! Wait where's everyone going, why do we have an orange haired buffoon blaring angry tweets running the country?
