I actually like cricket a good bit. Very relaxing yet also more exciting than baseball. With more people like Jomboy talking about it and giving very helpful explanations, I think it could get some decent viewership.

Somebody searched for "baseball team celebrating" without much critical thinking. Bananas used to be a CPL / college summer ball team that is basically an all Am team as far as I understood those rules.

The same fella owned another CPL team, the Gastonia Grizzlies, and was known for crazy promos and shit like a concessions item called the trash can nachos, and "all you can drink and eat" tickets. They had someone on staff whose title was "The Ticket Leprechaun" (hi Jake!)

The owner Jessie was always dressed in a yellow suit, like a cross between The Man in the Yellow Hat from Curious George and Gatsby.

I imagine a lot of the meals the players got looked much like the ones in the pictures about shitty food, and the players' host families for the Summers did a bulk of the good feeding.

More countries = 33% more places to sell shit. More games = more time to sell ads. Might lengthen the whole deal vs adding more sites, which could overburden potential host countries.

One of the locals who was hanging out with our group told me it was a crackhead who sold them to some other tourists for $10 the next morning. Dunno who would want to buy some funky 7 year-old Rainbows, but oh well...

Somebody stole my flip flops on this beach! It was a wild night.

I doubt that anyone will ever know the true number of workers that died for WC2022. It's like trying to quantify Russian soldier losses during the invasion of Ukraine.

"We welcome everyone to our lush and inviting land! ...that definitely is not so inherently hostile that we had to move the whole event so that spectators and competitors would not die like the brave workers who built the magnificent stadiums.

Definitely what I'd expect to hear from someone who gives the 8hr Saturday defensive driving courses

Hear my cry, hear my call.

This will help
