In my opinion, winning is amazing and the additional "my team that won was also the best team according to objective metrics" that online fans seem to need reflects a failure to cherish the experience of winning

The most precious commodity you have is your attention. You don’t have to waste it on poor-faith debates or arguments with strangers if you don’t think they’ll be productive. You can prioritize the things that matter to you and make your life richer.

an underdiscussed aspect of "should MLS align economically with "world football?" is "how sustainable are the economics of world football outside twenty teams in England, plus maybe Spain and Germany?"
the economics of league football outside a few large countries keep getting worse and worse
The news that Belgian football feared: as happened in France, DAZN is pulling out of its broadcasting deal with the ProLeague with immediate effect. Should no solution be found (which appears the likeliest scenario), the league's 16th round will not be broadcast in Belgium.

Are we doing this again? Trying to “solve” a sport via stats and analysis exists on a different scale than the sport being fun/enjoyable. Some “solutions” make stuff more fun, some less, and it’s the responsibility of rule-making bodies to encourage the former and reduce the latter.
My position that the nerds are bad still holds up! Even as an Arsenal fan, who loves the irony of the team that used to be bullied on set pieces dominating them, you can always bet that once the goal becomes to solve the sport, the fun of it will be engineered out in service of math.

NEW: Air Force jets are doing ICE flights to Africa with transponders turned off, making them nearly un-trackable.
This includes the third-country removal to Ghana and another secret flight. We figured out where it landed.
