Haslam and soccer
-
I am a huuuge Crew fan. Got into it when I lived down in Dayton. Haslam saved the Crew. It will always be the Crew. This name change is fucking stupid. I guess if you want to emulate the soulless european leagues that's fine. The quality of play might be on par with them in the next two decades, but as of now you see all our best young talent leave the league to go play in europe.

I think parents may guide their kids to soccer because it is less violent than football. I don't think it has anything to do with "inner-city negros".
Who talks like that, is it 1965?

That is absolutely the reason why the soccer mom's (and dads) are pushing their kids away from the traditional American tackle football. All those shows on PBS, 60 Minutes, ESPN about CTE and it's relationship with primarily football along with boxing has scared parents from letting their kids from playing contact tackle football from pee-wee on up. They would rather have their kids play something safer (and cheaper!) like soccer, softball, tennis, golf or just hanging around in the basement playing video games.
Even the NFL (backed by their band of lawyers) had to reluctantly do something about the problem.
Now soccer is also not 100% safe but is way less grueling than tackle football on the human body especially at the lower levels and apparently is better than nothing at getting their lazy kids out of the basement and do something.
Meanwhile the affects of CTE and other injuries will still linger on at a somewhat lesser level due to some measures already being taken -but- soccer is growing and is here to stay.
........ edit add, I also saw this some progress has come on this topic.
As of 2015, all 50 states have adopted some form of concussion legislation with minimum return-to-play guidelines for students who have had concussions.

I watch the English Premier League a lot. Favorite team is Liverpool
Not all, but most, of the best players in the world play there. It is way better soccer then the MLS.
The difference between the talent in MLS and EPL is equivalent to D2 college football and the NFL

Then why did Rooney, and Beckham and all these other big name stars come over here to play?

End of their career money grab. Only the older guys move from EPL to MLS
They were done at the highest level so they moved down in class to cash in one last payday

Some thought so, i.e. BB apparently.

Actually there has been plenty of speculation and plenty of evidence about just THAT based on indices that were given off...including the fact that BB was wanting to groom Jimmy Garropolo to replace Brady some years earlier. In essence, BB was forced to go along with the trade that sent JG to SFO. In fact, apparently BB wanted to actually trade Brady to SFO and not Garrapolo (per John Lynch...49ers GM). Robert Kraft would have none of that. Just like when he thought Bernie Kosar was done, BB thought that Brady may have been done and was looking to replace him. Its a main reason Brady moved out of there when he did.

I think whatever evidence there is besides the evidence in your head is that Brady wanted a contract extension and Belichick preferred One year at a time.
Baker Mayfield wasn't offered a multi year extension either and that doesn't means Stefansky things hes washed up.

Well, here like my Dr. Oz situation, is clearly a case of where you have not paid attention to what has been said about this situation. If BB wanted just one year at a time...it was because, as I said, he was concerned that TB was too long in the tooth and did not want to commit to him for any longer than that. And I suppose you think that John Lynch just made up the fact that BB offered him Brady instead of the Garropolo? Maybe you should take that up with John Lynch.

Exactly. To another case of you shooting off your mouth without having any knowledge of the situation. As per usual.

Guys leave English soccer for MLS when they can’t get the same money in England
If they still commanded top dollar in England, they wouldn’t leave for MLS

I have perfect knowledge of it. You are the ignorant one here. You don't have a fucking clue about what is being said out there.
How much of this do you read? How much of it do you watch on the TV sports talk shows. How much of it do you listen to on sports talk radio. Fuck all, that's what.
You just want to defend Belichick here because you are a Belichick ass kisser. But for several years now BB has been trying to purge Brady. Robert Kraft had to step in and prevent him from doing so. What do you think? That I am making this shit up? Duh, no.
