  1. TIL that #flopping is referred to as “the game within the game” 🤦🏻‍♂️

  2. Portland Commissioner and mayoral hopeful Rene Gonzalez recently said that he would temporarily stop using public transit after he alleged that a woman “accosted” him aboard a MAX train, including subjecting him to “deliberate, unwanted physical contact.”

    Video obtained by The Oregonian/OregonLive shows that the woman may have at most brushed Gonzalez’s arm as she moved to the front of the nearly empty train car, where, according to the commissioner, she began criticizing him over the city’s homelessness policies.

    Footage of the Jan. 26 encounter, captured on a pair TriMet cameras, also does not appear to substantiate his assertion that the woman intentionally “bumped” into him twice, a claim Gonzalez made to police on the day of the incident and then to news outlets a week later on Feb. 2.

  3. Big fan of women's #soccer (women's #football to the majority of the world).

    My reason is pretty simple and rather unsophisticated: they play the game without constantly #flopping to the ground holding their knee and howling like an egg sucking hound every few minutes, and that makes it better.

    Friends who love the sport will usually wince when I say that and then say 'look, it's just part of the game'. Yeah. The part that sucks, TBH.

  4. New rule: Every foul in the penalty box gets automatically reviewed before the penalty kick is granted.

  5. CW: World Cup Flopping

    That "foul" is a good example of why people dislike soccer. Ronaldo did the right thing by flopping, and that's why the whole thing is awful.
