Trent Bridge legend, socialist hero, Chris Read fanboy. Lifelong Seattle Orcas fan. Lord's is fine, but Lauderhill has better curry goat. For E.M. Petersen, read Petersen, E.M.
Not sure when he said it, I saw someone else quote it. He's basically joined the rightwing civil war on the side of the non-Trumpers so ... good for him, I guess?

I'll take it.

I mean, it amounts to "America is great because it has laws and stuff, and they should keep having laws that they're governed by" so it's not exactly something he should win major awards for.

Hilariously, they played at the cricket stadium for a time.

Meanwhile in rugby, I'm now watching New Zealand play Ireland in front of a massive Saturday afternoon crowd at the Chicago NFL stadium. Lol, these idiots don't even know that this isn't the best time to televise rugby in New Zealand. Losers.

So anyway, it's another two-week tournament that "brings cricket to the US" via the can't-miss medium of made-for-Indian-TV matches during the brunch hour in an empty stadium. Yay. (I'll still go to a match or two.)

"Hello friend, would you like to watch cricket with me?"
"Why, I have never seen cricket. That would be a delight. When is it?"
"10am Tuesday."
"Ah. While I would love to attend, I have a job and a life."

Matches are all played at that favourite start time of local, in-person, not-watching-on-TV-elsewhere sport fans, 10am. Most matches are also on weekdays.

It's bringing cricket to North America; the website makes it sound like this is something nobody has ever thought of before. The teams feature a few familiar West Indies names and ... some other guys.

I don't deserve this. It's a Notts championship year, I don't deserve this too, oh no this would be my fault

Sadly I do not have Marlins Man ticket money. (I've seen him do this at hockey games too.)

TBF I've also seen UK leftwing folks parrot Fox News talking points about places like San Francisco. One man's hard truths to people who don't want to hear it is another man's rightwing boilerplate.
