Pks suck because even when I’m rooting against a team I feel terrible for the players that miss. Usually.

of course, now he's more explicit, but I can't get over a party responding to a warning against extremism.

While watching France - Portugal, here's a great Mbappé story - he urged young people to vote against extremists at the gates of power, not naming any party.
And the far-right party took it personally and fought back.

In soccer lingo, a brexit is an aggressive tackle in which you don’t get the ball. I tried to tell my son and his friend that it should be an own goal, but it’s already settled.

maybe if it's clear that it's 1 person's take - but that's not what the article implies ("many elite supporters"). I'm open to persuasion though - maybe I'm misunderstanding journalistic ethics.

Shouldn’t she have sources on the record? The stakes are high and this is their featured story.

"many elite supporters" but no one on the record - excuse the language, but this is so fucking irresponsible. Are you an insider with relevant information? We get that you have jobs and reputations you think are important. But we're barreling towards a Trump presidency w/o institutional guardrails.

and to be fair, I had a laugh at the Rudy Giuliani stories, but he was already a sideshow at that point. This is the sitting President.

The more I think about this, what’s worrying to me isn’t the article, but the fact nymag decided to print it. They wouldn’t print it w/o more to back it up, right?
