No one's coming in for a guy like that, especially not when he could be holding an "I'm an idiot" sign every time he opens his mouth. As much as he doesn't value the scientific method and, say, the end of ravenous diseases like polio and smallpox, some of any potential squad will.Quote:

I have been expecting Bez to take him to Ohio for a while now. He likes collecting junk there.Quote:

DeLeon scored the winning goal. I think he justified his selection. And he has been a good servant to this club. Personally, i don't understand why the vaccine isn't mandatory like it is for polio etc but given that we have collectively decided that it is personal choice I am not going to rag on him for his decision, no matter how wrong headed or bizarre it seems to me
When people’s “wrongheaded” decisions affect the people and things I care about I reserve the right to rag on them. Societies generally would never achieve civility if people didn’t stand behind their perspectives.
The anonymity of the internet is what makes it fractious, not the opinions, which they already held. Having to defend and justify them when consequences are involved is what kept us civil.
The entirely overstated “shaming” culture right now is a tragic answer to safe spaces that employs the very same anonymous incivility
It’s trying to prevent.
I have zero sympathy for him whatsoever, I don’t particularly care how he contributes in the pitch, as it’s a matter of public health, not an entertainment matter.
And of course a salary dump is free. End rant.
EDIT also, my agreeing or disagreeing with people is a matter of the point at hand, not a personal judgement. It does not make me prejudge what you say In the future or how I should respond to you. It takes me a great deal of personal information before I judge somebody Unworthy of my time for uncivil reasons. I would like to think most intelligent adults feel the same way.
Having ended rant… on to game.
I wonder If Zavaleta gets a start this week. Omar’s struggles are obvious and Zavaleta had a pretty good Gold Cup, all things considered.
MLS has the NIE now - De Leon can practice and play in matches if he is unvaccinated.
assuming he's fit, I'd start deleon ahead of endoh.

What the NIE does is allow the few anti-vaxxers to get away with it. i.e. Expect Geoff Cameron here in the fall
In the big picture, I agree. it is a matter of public health. But not a single politician or public health expert has called for the vaccine to be mandatory. It should be to protect all of us. Polio and others are. Why not COVID? Makes no sense. And there was just too much piling on to Deleon for me. But as for you, Mr Loome, I always respect your perspective, even when directly delivered.Quote:

This is way off topic though.

So, Oso & Laryea back on Sunday - in the starting lineup or in the 18?
I would think bench with that late match and a travel day. Any word on Lawrence? I know he got a personal leave but that's all they said.Quote:

hopefully see them on the bench.
I'd hope we'd see one of them starting. Either would be a better option wide right than anyone on the bench.Quote:

Could anyone please help me?

ie. If you want 4, you have to find a 4 block. If you want 2, pick a 2 etc.
How was entry to the stadium compared to normal times? Longer lines? Shorter? Wondering when I should show up ...
I would think they are mentally drained. Tough to come back to MLS after that.Quote:
