re: Would you watch soccer if the US won 28-7 tonight?

Remember NFL Europe in the 90s? What were the team names? They were a city and a nickname like American teams. They “copied” American teams.
That’s exactly my point. They should’ve mimicked the soccer teams over there not Americanized it since it was taking place in Europe not America
If you’re trying to spread something for marketing purposes it makes more sense to copy the region’s established culture not bring over traditions that are completely foreign

American names are kind of terrible. A city name with a bird after it? Yeah, so cool. Atlanta United is a much better name than Hawks or Falcons.
It makes little sense to not try to Americanize the sport if you’re trying to spread it. Everything these American soccer teams and their fans do is just copying Europeans. Why not try to mimic the already widespread and obsessive sports culture in the US instead of making it clearly a foreign thing?
The people who already like the MLS will continue to watch it regardless and there’s a chance you could slowly attract new fans by making it feel more relatable

Good description of them. A significant portion of hardcore soccer fans here seem to be wannabe Europeans
I mean the Latino fans seem crazy but lot less cringy

You can definitely make an argument that he’s the greatest OL of all time

If tweet fails to load, click here. So much the “only big schools care” talking point OP tried to push when even ADs at schools such as Colorado, UCF, Kansas St., etc are not ok with this
You’re right on that

Obviously you haven't dealt with adolescent boys in a group situation.
:lol:
The vast majority of this site is male and thus at one point were adolescent boys in group situations at times. Many here also have kids, some of which are the same age. You definitely didn’t think that through before posting
The reality is the vast majority of kids that age are not going around attacking much less murdering someone because they disagree. It’s completely reasonable and normal to expect even kids to turn away if being told to by even another kid without resorting to violence. At most you might get some expletives thrown your way.
You’re literally victim blaming

There are a lot of assumptions inheritance your post. I don't know that facts back them up.
It’s pretty similar to the group of Asians that were fighting against Harvard for discrimination in admissions. Just look up MCAT scores by race. Asians have the highest avg MCAT score and GPA yet have lower acceptance % compared to other “POC”. And like I said, in the US on any official document Indians are grouped into the large category that is Asian. Sometimes there’ll be a subgroup under Asian for specific kind but most of the time it’s just Asian
Asians are grouped into POC when it’s suitable but other times are treated like white when it’s not suitable

Somehow this shite happens

Indians are not the beneficiaries of DEI. They are some of the victims.
This is getting downvotes but it when it comes to academia Indians (classified as Asians in the US) are considered over represented minorities just like other Asians. They don’t fall into the same category as black, Hispanic, indigenous, etc that are considered under represented minorities

Not to mention it’s not just the big schools and their fans that are against this. Pretty much everyone is

Like you said because of bots (and trolls and just people saying shite online without in person follow up) it’s hard to tell what the majority of the public thinks just from social media comments. This trial has gotten a lot of attention but not on the same level as something like Floyd or Martin back in the day

Almost the entire cast of One Piece.
Oda, the manga writer, listed the characters would be real life nationalities years ago. So they were casted based off of that. So that (for the most part at least) was a case of casting characters based off of their intended nationality and race

He doesn’t but that doesn’t mean he can’t win this in some way. All it takes is one juror. Even if they think he’s guilty internally they could still use this as a political “statement” (they might see it as left vs right) just like in the OJ trial

I'm fully ignorant on the topic...why is this?
Most minorities are pretty democrat. The exceptions are Cubans that are strongly republican or groups like Filipinos or Vietnamese that are lean democrat but are closer to a split. Though large amounts of Christians in those populations may have an impact.
A lot of older minorities are very socially conservative but fiscally more left wing when it comes to social programs and such. Though I think a lot of the wealthier people might less in favor of the latter and make up the small % that vote R or independent. And their kids do tend to be at least a little less conservative socially so probably even more democrat.
