    Not sure if you made that up off the top of your head, but that exact guy does exist.

    https://www.bundesliga.com/en/bundesliga/news/fabian-hurzeler-who-is-st-pauli-s-us-born-coach-former-bayern-munich-youth-player-22956

    Houston born Fabian Hurzeler just took St Pauli back up to the Bundesliga and was just hired by Brighton, becoming the youngest premier league manager ever at the ripe age of 31.

    Fuck the WNBA and their fans, they totally deserve each other is what I've concluded.

    there’s 3-4 hardcore wnba defenders in here and not one of them has said a single critical thing about the league, its players, their attitudes, their treatment of CC, none of it. no, “yeah, that could have been handled better but…” type responses, just blind justification for everything the league and its players do. all of them are full-on zealots, that much has become clear.

  3. it’s the third homeless man that he’s killed with a bullet to the head.

    Spoiler

    EDIT: He had previously killed two others, also with shots to the forehead for which he escaped charges.

     A jury found a suburban Seattle police officer guilty of murder Thursday in the 2019 shooting death of a homeless man outside a convenience store, marking the first conviction under a Washington state law easing prosecution of law enforcement officers for on-duty killings.

    Nelson was taken into custody after the hearing. He's been on paid administrative leave since the shooting in 2019. The judge set sentencing for July 16. Nelson faces up to life in prison on the murder charge and up to 25 years for first-degree assault. His lawyer said she plans to file a motion for a new trial.

    Nelson had responded to reports of a man throwing things at cars, kicking walls and banging on windows in a shopping area in Auburn, a city of 70,000 about 28 miles (45 kilometers) south of Seattle. Callers said the man appeared to be high or having mental health issues.

    Nelson confronted Sarey in front of the store and attempted to get him into handcuffs. When Sarey resisted, Nelson tried to take Sarey down with a hip-throw and then punched him seven times. He pinned Sarey against the wall, pulled out his gun and shot him. Sarey fell to the ground.

    Nelson’s gun jammed, he cleared it, looked around and then aimed at Sarey’s forehead, firing once more.

    Prosecutors said Nelson punched Sarey several times before shooting him in the abdomen. About three seconds later, Nelson shot Sarey in the forehead. Nelson had claimed Sarey tried to grab his gun and a knife, so he shot him in self-defense, but video showed Sarey was on the ground reclining away from Nelson after the first shot.

    Nelson claimed Sarey tried to grab his gun, leading to the first shot. He said he believed Sarey had possession of his knife during the struggle and said he shot him in self-defense. Authorities have said the interaction lasted 67 seconds.

    Prior to fatally shooting Sarey, Nelson killed Isaiah Obet in 2017. Obet was acting erratically, and Nelson ordered his police dog to attack. He then shot Obet in the torso. Obet fell to the ground, and Nelson fired again, fatally shooting Obet in the head.  Police said the officer’s life was in danger because Obet was high on drugs and had a knife. The city reached a settlement of $1.25 million with Obet’s family.

    In 2011, Nelson fatally shot Brian Scaman, a Vietnam War veteran with mental issues and a history of felonies, after pulling Scaman’s vehicle over for a burned-out headlight. Scaman got out of his car with a knife and refused to drop it; Nelson shot him in the head. An inquest jury cleared Nelson of wrongdoing.

  6. surely there’s some 32 year old german guy out there at some bundesliga 2 club who can coach circles around gregg and who would like to coach in a world cup. go get that guy.

    Posts like you made on the last page in relation to the fashion post equal misogyny.

    if you’re going to repeatedly me of misogyny then quote me for christ’s sake. point to something specific, don’t just yell it into the ether like it’s a fact.

    We absolutely have the players. These aren't scrub club teams these guys play for. Wake the fuck up people. The players are there.

    Why can’t the wnba be one?

    because the women of the wnba have shown themselves to be toxic, entitled narcissists who routinely bite the hand that feeds them. literally, that’s why. that’s what i and so many others can’t take. britney griner is a trash person; angel reese is a fake thug/part time victim; the head coach of the women’s olympic team made anti-caitlin clark tweets before leaving her off the roster; kelsey plum demands more money; monica mcnutt is outraged that men haven’t been watching that shitty sport for years instead of appreciating the fact that she has a platform at all.

    all of this and so much more is why the wnba doesn’t deserve to exist. i mean normally the recipients of charity are grateful, and show some modicum humility. they don’t constantly bitch about how they deserve more charity while being garbage people who actively hate and want to ostracize their biggest money maker. that’s why.

    there is nothing that Sawbonz is telling you that lacks self awareness.

    saying that he’s proud that the wnba is the only league in the world that’s allowed to exist while hemorrhaging money simply because women want to have their own league is 100% lacking self awareness coming from someone who claims to be championing equality.

    again- i have made more than 100,000 posts on these sites since i joined HF in 2002, and i have read 50x more posts than i’ve made, and yet i have never/will never receive/see responses like sawbonz’ girl dad soliloquy because someone criticized a male athlete or sport. these posts only show up when women are criticized. period.

    by the way you too are lacking in self awareness. you said i’ve been misogynistic in this thread? that’s your take? criticizing women = hating women? any criticism of a female = misogyny? you’re doing the same exact thing as sawbonz. how many wildly critical posts have i made about shaka smart? now how many times did someone tell me that i hate men because of these posts? never happened, never will. you think you’re championing some great cause; you’re not. you’re making it worse.

  11. sawbonz and people like him are so painfully lacking in self awareness that they’ll never realize that all they do is accomplish the opposite of what they’re trying to accomplish. “i'm such a bastion for equality and such a great example for my daughters that i’m proud that the women of the wnba get wildly special treatment in more ways than anyone can count. this special treatment for women is progress, and anyone who disagrees is not an ally, they are an enemy.”

    i hate to break it to you, but justifying the existence of this league while implying that anyone who criticizes the special treatment it gets is a misogynist or an enemy of women is the exact opposite way to get more respect for yourself, or for any women anywhere. the only people who take you seriously belong to the same cult as you.

  12. Just now, Sawbonz said:

    You care way too much about things that don’t even tangentially affect your life. I stand by my post. It is directly relevant to the posts lamenting the fact that the NBA subsidizes the WNBA.

    I’m thankful for the WNBA players and the NBA team owners that make the league possible. 

    so you teach your daughters that it’s a good thing for them to get wildly special treatment just because they are girls. they don’t have to earn anything in life, or display any kind of character or humility. you’re glad to have the wnba as a shining example that you can be a toxic, untalented, garbage human being who loses millions of dollars annually for your employer, and as long as you’re a girl it doesn’t matter because we will just hand you a league and a network and platform to be the garbage that you are, and nobody can take it from you, because you’re a girl. and you’re actually proud of that. way to go dad. pat yourself on the back.

    I have 2 daughters. I’m glad they had female professional athletes they could look up to when they were little. Just like I’m glad they had female doctors, lawyers, business execs, and entertainers. Little girls who play sports are more likely to finish school and go on to college, less likely to become pregnant as teenagers; and in general have higher self esteem. 

    what does that have to do with anything in this thread? at all? you people are such martyrs, it’s such a beating. “we want to be treated the same as men!” they cry. then when sports fans on the internet are critical of female athletes we gets this totally tangential, socially aware, “save our daughters!” bullshit, as if a)your daughters wouldn’t have a future if the wnba had to actually turn a profit, and b) as if something like this would ever be posted in response to someone criticizing a male athlete. do you want equality or special testament? you can’t make up your minds.

    as for your wildly tangential point, i’ve already addressed it in this thread:

    lol of course not. i love watching plenty of women’s sports- volleyball, track and field, soccer, tennis, to name a few. and the athletes who compete in those sports draw eyeballs like mine and millions of others because they are good enough and entertaining enough to draw huge audiences when they compete. the wnba and its players cannot say the same. when you add insane levels of entitlement and shitty personalities to their lack of skill and entertainment, you don’t have to hate women or be a misogynist to megaloathe this league and its players.

    your daughters can still look up to serena williams and alex morgan and sha’carri richardson and a million other female athletes who have earned their way in life on their own merits and not on charity. in fact i implore your to have your daughters be j spores by them, and not by these nasty, toxic spoiled, ungrateful, untalented women from the wnba.
