AAAAAHHH!

I'm cursing a blue streak watching the US Colombia game.

What the fuck midfield?
Quit giving them so much goddamn time on the ball!

2nd half start, goalkeeper's out. Go for the jugular.

Sweden v Nigeria

There's all sorts of things to say about the emergence of the Nigerian team. However, for now just let me say, "Wow!"

Sellout!

I broke down and bought a membership to the Official U.S. Soccer Supporters Club. I wanted to get pre-sale tickets for the women vs. Ireland. Please don't hate me. 😀

Hating LeBron

Selfish, arrogant, money grubbing, spoiled.

I hear it all the time from others about LeBron James.
Always from white people, but I won't get into the causal racism I see against black athletes that have the "nerve" to forge their own path. I've got another target in mind.

Let me state for the record that I'm not a huge basketball fan. I tend to watch when there's a local interest involved. My Akron Zips, Ohio State, Xavier, and/or Cincinnati in the NCAA's; the Cavs or my current hometown Warriors in the playoffs, I'm gonna watch. This NBA Finals has me really interested.

It has brought up a lot of stuff about "The Decision" and "The Return". The fact that these Cavs, these Cavs with LeBron, are in the finals, proves LeBron right about going to Miami.

I was disappointed when he left the Cavs, but when I saw the reaction of Clevelanders, the hatred of those fans, gave me pause. I looked back as to why he left.

I blame Dan Gilbert.
Dude is a prick. 
We see how that guarantee turned out didn't we? LeBron 2, Cavs 0

He asked for a team to win, and Gilbert forced his hand. LeBron went to Miami, never gave up on his hometown, Akron, won two championships, and even learned to be more of a leader.

Then he came back. In the face of all that hate, all that bile, he came back. Gilbert even apologized. Cleveland took him back with open arms. He was right.

All you haters need to pause.
