Reply to comment by feeltheslipstream in WTA says return to China will require resolution to Peng Shuai case. by PrincessBananas85

Well no one from WTA has been able to meet her up to this day, and all they have is the confirmation. Same as in my analogy, if you then asked your bank whether your money is safe, and they send you another confirmation, but you are unable to withraw your money or to see it at all, would you still be convinced that the bank has your money? The confirmation from the bank can be offered at anytime irregardless of when the hypothetical theft occured, so the time component isn't really required.

Reply to NFL will not resume Bills-Bengals game by wewewawa

The NFL will not resume the Bills-Bengals game that was suspended Monday night after Buffalo safety Damar Hamlin collapsed and went into cardiac arrest on the field, two people familiar with the decision told The Associated Press on Thursday.

Both people spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the league is still figuring out how to determine playoff seedings and scheduling. The NFL Players Association must approve changes.

I am Chinese. The deal was done to promote tennis in china. The goal was growth. Table tennis, badminton, basketball and football, golf are way more popular. Tennis is seen as a sport for the rich youth. It's the same idea as youth lacrosse or hockey in the states but even less popular. Even in the USA it's a upper middle class sport.

I heard that Mr. Hamlin is awake and communicating in writing, but still on the ventilator. So neurologically, that is a massive improvement and gives me a lot of reassurance about how his brain is doing. The ventilator is there to help his lungs recover at this point, but I expect continued improvement there in the next few days.

Thanks, I didn't get a chance to watch the friendlies. Did he get a chance to start any or was he a late sub with limited playing time?

I agree about Gregg not being able to sidestep the Gio question. There were some signs of something going on when he was asked about it at the WC and he said something along the lines of Gio was injured and his fitness level wasn't back.

Gio responded publicly saying it wasn't true. I thought it was odd at the time but now it all makes sense. The Reynas took it too far leaking what they did about Gregg, I wonder how likely it was that the USMNT would've kept Gregg as coach. There were plenty of fans/analysts criticizing his coaching and tactics saying we needed a new coach to progress.

Maybe the Reynas felt he would be kept and leaked the incident?

Yep. Gio is seen as a very elitist-type now. Who in their right mind would ever trust him as a teammate?

The USMNT needs some fixing, and since it's a young team, one can only hope that the changes do not effect the build up of quality. Starts with Gio never seeing a roster spot ever again. I don't care how talented he is. He burned this bridge with thermite.

No it doesn’t, but the fact that they have been married for 30 years speaks to fact something changed in him AND his wife forgave him. We need to be able to move on from the past…especially if a person has changed their behavior. Our recidivism rate maybe much lower if we could do that.
