As I stated before, the majority of football specific media outposts are controlled by British fans and marketeers, and in some cases have agreements with Sky Sports and BBC sports to boradcast their shows. ESPN also has Englishmen running the place, and they continue to feed us biased opinions about football.

I can't believe for a second you are dumb enough to even wonder why it is like that. Honestly, do you expect them to give you fair coverage and a choice of what to watch, what to learn and what to buy? Do you think for a moment you're coverage of English football and everything else that is imported isn't about the TV deals and the money?

Now see, that's why we laugh at Americans all the time. And please someone tell me why my god damn NASCAR coverage is biased to dorito chip adverts.

Yes of course I know that, however the people controlling the major football networks and media outlets aren't American.

Oh god it's a conspiracy :

Jae, what do you think the situation is in Norway? That's right, exactly the same. Just because you understand the reasons behind it doesn't mean you have to like the way it is, there's no contradiciton there. So what exactly are you getting at?

I didn't say he had to like it. I'm just amused at how naive he is. He can complain about it sure, but why is he asking others like it's questionable.

It's extremely&painfully obvious there is and always will be a bias.

It's not about what is good, what is better, what is new. It's about what it's worth, what you are told and what you will do. And especially with the subject being America..

We all have once upon a time...some steal wallets. Some steal cable and others steal missiles...still stealing.



I once found a truckload of uncut Colombian Coke being loaded into my garage at 4 am...we all have demons.


Love and affection is shown in strange ways...and comes in the rarest of forms.

:extatic:


So do Rhodes Scholars at Oxford...some even go on to be President.

Things could be worse...you could be a Juve fan.


:lick:



I've verbally abused kids with Juve jerseys.


I've ran from piss balloons..consider yourself lucky


I've called people ZEBRA and GOBBI and lauged at Interisti while they cross the street and kept laughing at them...and then purposely pointed at them and lauged louder.


I hate people because of the team they support...beat that


He hates you too so your even.


Pigeons and unruly children shouldn't have opinions on this page...


I have a smoking problem...sleeping problem and I can't stop taking espresso.


Look for an ashtray or check your Mom's purse ....



SH*T I know I'm cool

Quite beautifully done.

But here's a heartbreaker.
I swear, I'll chop him down.

Greg...Cool

Zlatan: You have to be FOKIN kidding me...what a load of rotten, maggot-infested, horsesh*t. How is HE less bias than Andy or even me??

Zlatan's contempt and jealousy of me is quite well known....You think he will be fair and unbias when he has to confront me....

Fuck off, had ass kissing been involved I would have been mod long before, under the first Martin :redface:

Zlatan may have gotten the job because I turned it down. My apologies :redface:

Actually, I got the PM before you did


it was Greg that got the job because you turned it down

Oh, that's actually an improvement then

Well, maybe not, but I was already mod before you made the decision

I know because marty informed us of your answer in the mods forum.

 

[Slagathor]

I had to think about it for a bit. I don't imagine Marty sent you a PM first, then logged out, went cycling, came back, logged in, then sent me one.

Seems a bit pointless

This is the second time today Ive read about the existence of a mod forum. When can us mortals see it? I wanna see it

 

[Slagathor]

You can't - it's hidden to normal members. Not that you're missing much. It's pretty much like the support forum where technicalities are being discussed with the occasional off-topic thread.

Take it from me, Fabi -- there really is nothing to see there. Just a couple of threads with limited traffic among a few mods.

If Juventuz were the movies, the mod forums would be the conversations between the cleaning guys on toilet duty at the theater.
