  1. YouTube, Snapchat, Discord, Shopify among major social media hit in an apparent google cloud issue. Major public outages in Eastern North America and Northern Europe. It hasn’t happened in the West Coast (at least not yet), but it has before. This also may explain why the Peruvian Rugby Federation moves its stream to Facebook.
  2. Can we talk about the amazing disparity between these lavish venues and the houses in the background. I actually quite like the background, it really add some Peruvian flavor.
  3. I like the little cartoons they’ve made to promote the games. It shows off South American culture very well.
  4. Well our flag bearer is elected democratically by thier follow athletes on the team. But I would love to see someone unknown like Casey Eickfield, or anyone not a super popular athlete. Let’s put someone else in the spotlight for once.
  5. Occasionally I write a poem I become very found of. The following is a political poem about asylum seeker and refugees, inspired by the argument presented in Capernaum. Sanctuary I am no one, I matter to none. They bomb my house My country is like an outhouse, Full of shit. It’s split. At the seams where people tear, Each other apart without care. The soldiers shoot the innocent. War is their sad little instrument. They play an tune of death, And sell large amounts of meth. I want a better life, Away from all this strife. One where I can actually live past ten. One where I can play again. One where I don’t live in fear, Where imagination is my only frontier. I want to live. These “refugees” take our jobs. I don’t really feel a need to sob. Who are they to steal the American dream? They all just want to sit around and eat ice cream. They are lazy, And their “truths” are all so hazy. How am I supposed to sell a house? I’m caught in a political trap like a mouse. Ah, I’ve got it! Parent with child, make em’ split. Asylum seekers at my gate I’ll disseminate hate. “Build that wall!” I’ll yell. Then we’ll throw them all in a cell. I had this notion, That I would one day swim in an ocean. Drifting carelessly in the water Away from all the manslaughter. I would be free, My life long and lengthy. Instead in live nowhere. I am no one. I am nothing. I am an afterthought, Just waiting to be shot. You are the worst. America First.
  6. Ok so I’ve now finished the movie. Nothing has ever hit me as hard as this film. I’ve never seen a film address so many social issues at once. This film makes such a statement on worldwide poverty, gender roles, the refugee crisis, illegal immigration, overpopulation, poverty, child abuse. I would honestly place Capernaum among the 100 best films of all time. The fact that it didn’t win the foreign film category this year at the Academy awards makes me so upset.
  7. So will just have a larger amount entries most likely (as in more boats per event)?
  8. Rarely, and I mean rarely, do I find a film completely emotional, but Damn! my western heart cannot handle Capernaum. I love movies like this (Slumdog Millionarie, Lion, etc.), but just wow! And not even halfway yet. Who know such good film could come out of Lebanon?
  9. People really don’t seem all that excited by Zandvoort. This guy is probably one of the best SIM racers in the world (he is slower than actual F1 drivers on a SIM, but he can keep up with them). He made a video trying out the track (Please disregard the obvious click bait title, he is still a YouTuber after all): I’d be interested to know you thoughts @heywoodu. I also highly recommended the comments, there’s some funny stuff in there (about NED and F1 in general)
  10. X Games China 2015 European Games replays ICF World Cup
  11. It really sounding the European Championships is where most of the sports federations want to go. I guess we’ll have to wait to see how they fare.
  12. I see that the Chetcuti brothers went Gold/Silver in double trap. That should make a certain Maltese user very happy...
  13. Watching your soul leave your body and the light in your eyes dim makes me feel like a kid again. #onlytruth
  14. Overall what did you think about the entries? Will this still be great gymnastics, or will it be a mix of good and bad?
  15. Who know the women’s South American Olympic qualification thread would be so popular
  16. Sevens is better than XV, challenge accepted. (Don’t get me wrong, I still think the XV is original gangster rugby, but I just prefer sevens more). In terms of skill I sure they require a similar amount, but XV definitely requires more endurance and strategy.
  17. I still love a good 10km, but having to watch 6 pairs in a row really makes me begin to question life.
  18. There is no good type of hockey, though I do enjoy a good game of Ice Hockey, at least its entertaining. Ice Hockey is my least favorite winter sport and field Hockey is my least favorite summer sport.
  19. But XVs just lack pace. It’s takes too long and the game is so slow. I will agree that some of the more spectacular elements of rugby can be found there though. XVs popularity will decline I think, at least worldwide, especially as most young athletes will begin to focus on Sevens.
