I think some of that depends on where you live and how athletic/big your kid(s) are. Would I want my son plying in the GWOC here in Ohio against a bunch of D1 and future NFL players? Not a chance since I’m 5’10 and 170-175 pounds. Would I want them playing in the rural conference where I live and against a bunch of FFA and engineers?

Gen Alpha kids are less interested in football and more interested in soccer anyway. https://pro.morningconsult.com/articles/generation-alpha-z-sports-industry  Obviously the results aren't completely apples to apples. We should expect the gymnastics/swimming numbers to come down, since the kids who watch those sports typically also play them, and the participation rate plummets in those sports once the kids become teens. But the overall trend the article makes is pretty clear. Kids tend to play the sports that their parents played, so since Millennial and Gen Z parents play less football, fewer of their kids will have those core family memories tied to football, and on it goes.  And this is before Messi in MLS and the World Cup in 2026 which always boosts soccer interest.

Also MLS teaming up with Apple. The way Apple has handled MLS Season Pass is by far the best sports broadcast system ever. Best picture quality anywhere, available anywhere in the world on any system with no blackouts, great gameday multicast (think Redzone), weekly review shows, and additional content. Even in their first ever year of broadcasting sports, Apple has made ESPN/NBC/FOX/CBS look like amateurs. 2025 Club World Cup is in USA too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even in their first ever year of broadcasting sports, Apple has made ESPN/NBC/FOX/CBS look like amateurs. 2025 Club World Cup is in USA too. I just googled it, really smart. That's going to give them a huge advantage over the Premier League. (I'll die in a cold wet cave before I sign up for Peacock.) And every other league is always going to be second to primarily English-speaking audiences. I don't know why ESPN pretended that wasn't the case when they went in on La Liga. You can nitpick the fact that it's a 10 year deal and the MLS is probably going to outgrow it by the time they get towards the back half, but the fact that teams are incentivized to develop and sell players means the MLS has correctly oriented itself in the football pyramid unlike the Saudi or Chinese league retirement homes. And they did it while still being able to bring in David Beckham and Messi as PR talismans, which is a puzzle I don't think anyone else has solved. Really well run league, I'd pay a premium for ownership if it was an option way above what I'd pay for a football or baseball team share.

Install a rule where gate attendants have to blast fat people with power washers. To knock everything loose and also sanitize all the morbidly obese people that can’t fit in showers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually decent for Premier teams. Your Toons have a nice little section. Prem fans from the area teams will share some awesome things. But yeah, everything else is pretty bad.

Forge Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 I'm thinking about how I no longer hang out on the stoop anymore. I don't even want to think about the total amount of hours I spent sitting on the steps of my own or someone else's front stoop from the time I was a teenager until I was about 30. Chilling, chatting, maybe drinking. I don't even know if I've done it since I was 30. Hell, I don't even have a stoop any more. I have a gated entry into a courtyard type thing to get to my front door 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is it did go off, but the security did a lazy pat down without getting all up in those folds and chalked it up to a false positive. Â Â My question is - how did the Sox not cancel the game when they learned that two people got shot inside their stadium? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
