Soccer is a skill set that is different from our ball sports where we use our hands like football, basketball, and baseball. Eye-hand coordination is not the same as the coordination required for soccer.

I agree that many of our athletes in FB, hoops, and baseball could do well in soccer. There is absolutely no guarantee that LeBron would dominate in soccer.

Most likely as a kid given his height he would have been tried at goalie also. But in soccer a 5'7" player could run circles around him and have better footwork. I've read that having a size 15 shoe could be a disadvantage in soccer.

I've always liked the Louisiana flag with the pelicans.

It’s cool having a game their but the nba cup sucks

I've grown to like the cup. The games count in the regular season standings and there's a big money bonus for winning. They are legit NBA games.

Other teams have #3 retired for their own players. Seven teams have 3 retired for their own players.

Tonight we are all Koreans.

LSU should be ranked higher than Tulane. Sure they may have better undergraduates, but our research scope and what we do from the Ag school and all the other research we do more research than Tulane.

The theory that Long was killed by a ricochet bullet from his own bodyguards is plausible. And as noted by many he should have survived with better doctors and medical care.

Weiss though started the whole chain of events. He didn't have to go to the state capital to talk to Long and he didn't have to punch him for calling his father in a law a racial slur. The point is that racism meant that calling his father in law a racial slur and implying that Weiss's child was black was grounds enough for Weiss to assault Long. That the response to the slur had to be physical violence to some how preserve his family honor.

Sad that the lie that his child had black blood made Weiss do that.

Yeah, but you have to recall that every game of the entire World Cup from the group stage onward is a Super Bowl. Each of the three group stage games is a Super Bowl to the countries playing in it and for billions of fans.

I'd love to go to a World Cup game, but back in 1994 it wasn't an option and the closest place for me in Kansas City is 6 hours away and I don't think I want to drive and get a hotel room unless I was making like a whole vacation of a week in Kansas City and I have to admit I don't want to vacation in Kansas City. LOL.

But for many of us this will be the only chance in our lifetime to experience a World Cup in person, so I would definitely encourage people to do it if you have the time and money and it's practical.

The location of the sites is coastal pretty much. Wish there was another location in the Midwest like Chicago or Detroit or Minneapolis to see a game. Options in the South and the West and East Coasts are plenty.

My guess is that there are Christians players who support pride night or not bothered by it or feels there's no need to make any statement on pride night one way or other.

They would be foolish to leave NY and the Tri-State area. I thought leaving New Jersey was a mistake. They and the Devils do have a fan base in suburban NJ. The New Jersey burbs or Northern New Jersey have about 3.9 million people. For most of my life they have been the New Jersey Nets.

If I had Musk money I'd build a 35,000 seat baseball stadium in New Jersey and get a team to move or get an expansion team. The New York Metropolitan are and Northern NJ can support a 3rd baseball team.
