Scally-hating Redcoats visit Broadway station

You are defending an ownership (UAE Royalty) that still stones people and exploits foreign workers in conditions and regulations that are just above slavery?

I'll take the agricultural commodities money guy, mostly self-made, any day over a team who that has an owner who got his money because of the womb in which he was gestated.

it comes to association football. Typical lineup: the Frenchman, the Israeli, the Swede, the Brazilian, the Icelander and me, and me going, "Uhhh, everyone's cheering. What was awesome about the play, again?" They are very patient with me, glad to help a Yank who wants to learn. Still can't grok the offside rule. But it's always a great morning or afternoon at the pub for me and the boys.

Been to a couple of failed attempts by the Revs to advance in the post-season at Foxboro, half the seats covered over: really fun, despite the outcome.

I didn't get it at all for a long time, still mostly don't get it, but I'm way past my old sense that it's a dull game. I imagine it's like any sport: if you played it as a kid, which I didn't, it's more meaningful in itself. Watching the children of my friends in the neighborhood play youth soccer is also a joy. One kid who calls me Uncle Slim and is a sub-average baseball player, hampered a bit by his small size, is a killer on the pitch: speedy, crafty, aggressive, a great shooter who makes his teammates better with unselfish, canny passing.

I like to remember that I've made baseball a lot more enjoyable for many foreign-born friends, and more than a few obviously-confused strangers sitting near me at Fenway, just by explaining the strike zone, which is impossible for the uninitiated to grasp just by watching the game live.

It's like music: reggae, opera, country, hip-hop, electronica, jazz and hardcore can seem boring and same-y until you dig into them, and then you realize each has a richness and depth you didn't appreciate when all you gave them was a superficial skim.
