I'm doing my Master’s dissertation on how football clubs’ values are aligned with their real-world decisions.
If you’re a Man United fan and 18+, I’d really appreciate you taking my anonymous 5–8 min survey:

Honestly, I think it’s super weird that people were booing him.
He didn’t ruin the deal with Liverpool, CP did.
I hope it’s done now.

Marc Guehi on getting booed by the Liverpool fans: I’m not sure why, to be honest?! But I can’t control what their fans think of me. I’m just grateful for our fans for sticking by me and supporting me the whole game!

The Bad Bunny halftime show was more energetic and exciting than the entirety of the Super Bowl so far.
I may not have understood all of it, but what I saw was an expression of love and a celebration of Puerto Rican culture.
Absolutely beautiful.

Many of the Super Bowl commercials feel very millennial (and some Gen X) this year. I am both impressed and enjoying many of them.
Very few have been a miss this time.
Keep it up.

So many posts about the Patriots QB having aura, but I really don't get it. To be fair, I know little about the man, but every time I've seen him, he seems like a Generic White Guy.
Like if you told me he went to BYU, it wouldn't surprise me.
What am I missing? 🙈

My favourite bit 🙃 of commentating is when they say something like, “Liverpool’s not been very impressive this half, playing very average” without realising what they’re saying about a Man City side who hasn’t scored against a “not impressive, average” Liverpool.

As a Premier League fan, I was very confused by this post for much longer than I’d like to admit. 🤦🏼♀️
With the Spurs at last airborne after an unscheduled stop in Atlanta today, the team has announced tipoff for tonight's game against Orlando has been pushed back again -- this time to 8 p.m.

Kelleher was absolutely MOTM today for Brentford. He (unsurprisingly) was absolutely beautiful in goal today.
Honestly, I think Villa probably could have pulled off a win had that red card not happened. That moment energised Brentford and brought them together.

Brighton’s last-minute draw with Everton today really took away from the focus we should have on how well Verbruggen played today.
He was excellent in goal. So many great stops.

Exactly this. Sometimes, for whatever reason, you don't like a show or movie. That's completely okay. But when your lack of enjoyment turns into, "I don't want ANYONE to enjoy it", that's a problem.
Honestly, the best way to stop things like that from being made is to not talk about it... at all.

Some people really seem to have a hard time saying "this show or movie isn't for me" and then move on with their lives.
But then there's no clout chasing to be had or likes to get from rambling rants about how much you hate that thing.

FINALLY submitted my last final last night.
I wasn’t happy with the tone of the essay, so as I was stuck in traffic on the way home, I decided to rewrite it yesterday.
Got halfway through the rewrite and my computer’s battery died 🤦🏼♀️ Rookie move.
Even rookier move? Not saving what I had done.

Finished my 3rd (out of 4) final projects for the semester.
Now, I focus on the one I am equally excited and nervous about.
I have to do a “TED talk” recording or blog post.
My topic is going to focus on social media and online hate toward athletes. It builds the foundation for my dissertation!

Might be an unpopular opinion, but I wish Premier League clubs would always be the away teams when they play the lower league teams in the cup matches.
I feel like it could really help boost the smaller clubs' financials and communities' economies.

With his assist for Hugo Ekitike, Mohamed Salah now has the most goal involvements for a single club in Premier League history (277).
