WPS, US Soccer, and MLS should merge so that every MLS team has a women’s program. it will allow US women’s national team members to spread around the country and it will give more women college players an opportunity to take their game to another level after college. the womens teams don’t have…

Heard a rumor about Ching coming back for Cruz +...
Would all be part of an evil but genius plan.
You could take Cruz in the draft, but you don’t. You take Ching. If you’d taken Cruz, Dynamo fans are disheartened. You take Ching, and the Dynamo are angry.
So when you deal Ching back and take Cruz, Dynamo fans aren’t upset…they are relieved.
It’s cunning, really.
In the end, all Montreal really gets is a...

On Jimmy Fallon the other night Republican candidate Michelle Bachmann was introduced to the song “Lyin’ Ass Bitch” on live TV.
Congresswoman Nita Lowey, D-N.Y., said in a statement that she shares little in common with Bachmann politically, but called the song “insulting” and…
Honestly, people making me defend Michelle Bachmann. Ugh.

Article that seems to suggest the Dynamo are going to do what they can to keep Ching in Houston, and also that they aren’t playing games with Montreal.
lol so now that they’ve made a risky gamble and lost, all of a sudden they’re talking about not playing games. everyone in this scenario comes out of it looking bad.
nah, I don’t think he should...

– Houston Chronicle
Two minds on this. One, as Ching only had one year left realistically (which he accepted) and was on a $400k salary, I can see why we didn’t protect him. From a team standpoint, it is more important to preserve the team we’re building than to protect players for...

my thoughts during school: lol penis lol
my thoughts when im trying to go the fuck to sleep: the purpose of life is not to be happy. it is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well

QUESTIONABLE: MF David Beckham (back spasms)
I thought Bruce Arena said he’s missed the last two practices with a cold.
Is he messing with us?

Social FC: Saha au PSG ? "Pourquoi pas" →
socialfootclub:
Louis Saha dirait-il tout et son contraire ? Invité mardi sur RMC, l’attaquant français d’Everton a estimé que le PSG serait “une proposition difficile à refuser” avant de tenir un discours quelque peu différent, ce mercredi sur Twitter (@louissaha08). “C’est juste un non-sens ces histoires…

Normally people go to sports and novels to escape from real world issues. I use real world issues to escape from sports and my novel.

NaNoWriMo Update (day 16)
This is completely killing my sleeping habits. I’m up til four, sleeping until 10, 11 maybe. My novel and I are in a marriage — we love each other but half the time we’re arguing over some petty thing like what word to use next or where to end this chapter or “should I separate this season or transition seamlessly with an extra paragraph”. It’s annoying.

eveninganomaly asked: I was not trying to act like it was the "internet apocalypse." I'm not trying to spread fear. I'm trying to get people's attention. Maybe I didn't do it in the best way, but UNFORTUNATELY people are MUCH less likely to pay attention to a link if the headline does not grab their attention.
Saying someone is black or female or whatever is not wrong in itself. But putting those words in a negative context is. There maybe certain words that are not inherently offensive but become offensive (and racist) when used that way. That is why the “What Luis Suarez said isn’t really that bad in Uruguay” argument doesn’t hold. If he insulted Evra, jokingly or not, because...

americankopite:
Football is corrupt, that’s a fact, but this is just ridiculous.
Wayne Rooney swears in front of a camera last year after an England match, John Terry is accused of racism against Anton Ferdinand. Both these men are also adulterers, and the FA doesn’t blink an eye.
Suarez gets accused for a month of racism, of which there is absolutely no proof, and the FA is...

Am I the only one who thinks Beckham winning...
I mean, I didn’t vote for him (I don’t remember who I did vote for, I should, but I don’t. I just know it wasn’t Beckham, Davies, or Oduro — I remember voting Beckham second and that’s it and yes, it’s killing me), but think about it.
Beckham tore his achilles. He didn’t “just tear his achilles,” because that’s a pretty serious...

So I hate it when I’ve got myself in a comfortable position on the couch and I’m making progress with work/writing on my computer and I’m on a roll and then suddenly I have to pee.
My fiction professor in college always said that the (well, one of many) key to good fiction is to “stay in the chair.” I remember something about my bladder is telling me lies that come...
