I genuinely hope the Jays know how proud we are of them. They achieved incredible things and exceeded everyone’s expectations. I hope they don’t feel like they let us down. Sure we’re disappointed, but they really did outplay this season. Thank you Jays for giving a country something to root for!!!

Not to pick on this particular person but this was absolutely not a choke job and hadn't been the entire series. The Jays aren't the Leafs. The Dodgers were expected to walk away with the series, we made them work for every single hit. This is simply the outcome of a very close game and series
One of the greatest choke jobs in sports history. A Toronto tradition

If this is how Israel treats a high-profile detainee like Greta Thunberg, I want you to consider how they treat Palestinian detainees.

Greta Thunberg provides the perspective that most western media will not:
It’s not about a few hundred foreign nationals being mistreated by Israel for a few days.
It’s about the #GazaGenocide, deliberate denial of aid, and Israel’s flagrant breaches of international law.
