Thanks for the response. I know things would still mostly be fine for you working with DFL, it's just very convenient having all nine games available so easily and easy to go back and watch if I missed any. Hope it all works out well in the end.

Fan culture is so important to me. I watch Zweite Bundesliga and Brazilian football in great volume because I value the atmospheres of the stadium. "Erste" Bundesliga its implied. The Bundesliga will always be my favorite and most-watched league.

This guy can't stay healthy, damn.

Thanks for sharing this link.

I seem to recall about a decade or so ago, didn't their players stage a walk-out before a CdR game in protest for unpaid wages? Well, not "before", referee blew his whistle, players formed a huddle, refused to play, and the ref signaled game over. That had to be something of a rock bottom moment.

Accelerated even further by the election of a certain orange turd in the United States, I'm sure.

Racism and general backwards movement in terms of what's accepted in society has accelerated over the last decade thanks to that guy. It's shameful.

I don't mind international breaks insomuch that the schedule is so thick and heavy this time of the year and these breaks at least give me a chance to catch up on some of what I may have missed and otherwise a chance to breathe. Other than Germany, I can't be bothered with the int'l games.

Skies.

This applies to our favorite sports teams, this applies to our countries. It's unbelievably frustrating to hear any criticism of the United States as being a sign that you "hate" America. Nothing about hate. We want (what we feel is) best for it. The difference is the size of the Pacific Ocean.
