YOUNG AMERICANS
The USMNT was by far the youngest team to qualify for the 2022 FIFA World Cup, garnering valuable experience going through the rigors of World Cup qualifying. Through 14 qualifiers, the USA Starting XI came in at an average of 23.82, almost two years younger than the next closest team, Ghana at 25.67. Together, the other 31 participating teams averaged a Starting XI age of 27.5 through qualifying, nearly four full years older than the U.S. Sources say this is one of the youngest, but most talented teams the U.S. has ever fielded. While they may not win the world cup this year, they may garner the experience needed to make a serious run on home soil in the year 2026 when the World Cup comes back to North America.

This is the corporate and marketing side of the USA national team that is advocating and selling this point of view. I’m not going to bring my political view into this post but I also highly doubt that pulisic or McK are running into the corporate headquarters screaming they want their Jersey changed to rainbow colors. Give me a break.
Do you think there’s a single player who objects to it? [Reply]

Or are they saying everything is banned except BudZero?
I do find it odd to keep it to one singular beer, but offering just Beer & wine at the stadium would make the most sense. If people are going to want to hit the hard stuff, they will probably do it before entering the stadium and then keep the buzz up with beer/wine.
Nothing with alcohol inside stadium, bud zero is non alcoholic. Outside the stadium, in the fan gathering areas its allowed.
So technically he was offsides with that technology they just showed. Not sure I like that type of precise adaptation. It's not the same as when a runners foot slips off the base in baseball but I get the same feeling about it. [Reply]

But the NFL can't get that precise on the goal line [Reply]
