What is even more laughable is that, despite their notorious corruption, FIFA hasn't learned that you make damn sure your refs and replay officials do everything in their power to keep the best, most entertaining players on the field. Taking out a host country's best scorer, one tied for the...

It isn't unique to soccer. Same things happens with startling regularity in all levels of football as well. It is even crazier in football where there is usually a man lined up directly across from their best player.

For inexperienced brisket makers:

Stepping on someone's heel during a bang-bang play.....dangerous, serious foul: red card. Blatantly pushing the opposing keeper down after the play was done and he clearly has the ball held and bouncing his head off the turf....nothing, no foul.

Offsides in soccer is also the stupidest concept in any major sport by such a wide margin that it alone makes the whole sport worthless. God forbid you create an advantage by....getting behind the defense successfully.

Soccer is the stupidest fucking game on earth. Grown men flopping and rolling on the ground like faggots, and players getting thrown out for the "serious foul" of stepping on the back of his foot while going for the ball.

That's....not how Occam's Razor works.

Do you think this can last? How many teams have the ability to compete financially in this environment? And how long will fans put up with it? I think that it will take less than a decade for the whole thing to implode if guardrails aren't imposed to even things out.

I just don't know if it ever will recover if it dies to such a loyalty-killing reason. You could bring fans back from the transfer portal wild-west and pay-for-play shenanigans if you reined it in under collective bargaining and everyone feels like it is generally fair-ish again. If gambling...

Tech doesn't seem to understand that they are accelerating the destruction of the meaning of blue blood status. They are desperately spending money to join a club while actively chucking dynamite onto the dance floor.

I'll watch, but every year since this bullshit started my interest has waned. I used to watch a shitload of games, but it has greatly decreased. Last season I watched the OU games, a handful of big SEC games, and most, but not all, of the playoff. I imagine that it will decrease to just OU...

CFB is dead. The school fealty and rivalry aspect was the only thing that made it an appealing alternative to the pros. It is all downhill to a feeder league of less talented and/or experienced players at this point. Why do I want to watch that shit when the NFL exists? I'd rather watch the...

I just found out this morning that one of the bets Sorsby placed was on the passing yards under for the starting QB at IU. This was when he was the backup for that team. It takes the lowest faggot possible to make that bet on your own teammate.

They may not have a choice, as CFB is fucking dead from this point on. If the gambling shit is allowed to stand people are going to check out en mass over the next several years. Collective bargaining is the only way to restore any type of legitimacy. That or the power teams breaking off and...

That is just ridiculous. It is easily fixed by collective bargaining, just like in the pros. There is no coming back from allowing your players to gamble on games they influence, though, which is exactly why this particular case is different. Acting like it isn't just makes you look like a...
