I swear, finding the actual broadcast info for mid-tier or alumni league games is becoming a full-time job. I love following these matchups, but instead of a simple schedule, I end up falling down a rabbit hole of conflicting streaming links and weirdly specific local listings.

It feels like the big networks have everything streamlined, but once you move away from the mainstream leagues, the information just scatters everywhere. It’s frustrating when you’ve cleared your afternoon to watch a specific game, only to realize you need a subscription to some obscure platform you’ve never heard of.

Does anyone have a go-to site or app for tracking these kinds of smaller matchups, or are we all just stuck playing detective every time a game is on?

Anonymous said:Seriously, have you been sleeping through the whole year? Dozens of people are grinding away on this. People came from all over the country for the press conference, and now you’re acting like you just discovered water.

If you think Sanders should be taken to court, go for it. Who's stopping you?

Discovering fire...? I'm not discovering...

First off, clean up your own mess (stop touching anything involving money or payments... honestly, seeing some people join that Always Faithful association was a massive letdown... but hey, if that's what they want, fine...)

Second, try to make sure there aren't riots during the Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. Los Angeles Lakers games (not that it's my business, but surely the two biggest fan groups in America... politicians will just use them as a distraction to shift focus away from actual issues...) but seriously, less stupidity at other games too...

Third, do the work, but stop being so foolish—like going to consult with Adlešićka... (God knows what kind of politicians we deal with here...) In my opinion, you should take a stand, write a joint letter, and present your demands clearly... (I've said this a hundred times already...) What kind of "negotiations" are those? They'll just use it as an excuse for the Sports Fan Act, claiming we consulted them and they approved it, while they'll claim we didn't. It'll be their word against ours, and you know exactly how that ends...

Fourth, these groups need some sort of code of conduct. You need to influence the younger kids so they aren't carrying rockets, sticks, telescopes, or brass knuckles... unfortunately, some older guys actually encourage it... (just to prove how tough their group is, which is pure stupidity...)

Fifth, we should sue the fifth Sanders because it would prove we actually give a damn about ourselves, but as they say: lightning doesn't strike the weeds... (though that doesn't apply to the ones constantly chest-thumping...)

If regular people actually fixed half of this, we'd get a lot more respect...

Benjamin Smith21 said:Don't talk nonsense. Of course, I don't consider myself less valuable, but I'm telling you that the law doesn't care about feelings. Sanders has immunity. Even if they barely managed to strip Glavaš of his immunity for war crime proceedings, do you really think there are enough votes in Congress to strip Sanders's immunity over this? Of course not. It's the same in every country. High-ranking officials have immunity. Whether that's right or wrong isn't the issue here. Right now, nothing can be done against Sanders, and that has absolutely nothing to do with stepping up or anything involving the human rights courts in Strasbourg.
However, you could file a complaint against the organizers of the World Cup—which, if I'm not mistaken, is the USSA—and they might face a fine so massive they couldn't even pay it. But on the flip side, is it even worth it? Is it worth provoking the fury of the public just as things are starting to stabilize? They’d frame it as fans suing the sport itself. They’d claim that because of the fine, they’ll have to stop investing in youth programs. Everyone would turn against us, and in the end, even if they are penalized, the association would only be hit with a few hundred thousand dollars (which is a huge amount for us ☕) and the entire public would definitely be against us.


You mentioned the human rights court, but what about our own Constitution? Every Constitution in the world says everyone is equal before the law...

Benjamin Smith21 said:For you and for SB: everyone in the administration—meaning the President, the Vice Presidents (Đurđa and Pupovac, if I recall correctly) and all the Cabinet members—as well as everyone in Congress, including the Speaker, the Vice Speakers, and all the representatives, plus the President of the Republic, they all have immunity. You can't take any action because the laws don't apply to them due to that immunity. Just remember the stories involving Glavaš or what happened in Italy with Berlusconi, where everyone just waited for the guy's term to expire before they could finally bring the charges against him. You can't leverage this right now because you can't put the President on trial.

Sure, you can drag them through the press or take it to international bodies (like a court in Strasbourg...), but the real question is whether anyone actually wants to step up and tackle this mess...
And in specific cases, that immunity actually gets stripped away. Look, my point is simple: I just want the law to be applied fairly. If you think someone like Sanders is worth more than me, then I feel sorry for you...
The whole point is to show that everyone is equal under the law. If we actually did that, you’d see how fast they would change that fan law... once they aren't allowed to drink, bring in alcohol, or light flares like Štimac and Grgić, or carry umbrellas, coins, lighters...

Daniel Carter9 said:It might not change much right now since the damage is done, but wouldn't it still be worth filing a report regardless?

And why wouldn't it matter? If the fan law explicitly forbids certain things, look at the example being set by the Prime Minister... imagine that, the Prime Minister of America... Honestly, if we don't use this chance to fight for better rights, then maybe we shouldn't even exist as fans...

We stay silent when we actually need to act. We bark at regular people when there's an argument to be had. We refuse to admit when we're wrong. And when it comes to actually pushing to get the mafia out of sports or stopping rigged games, we're nowhere to be found... (As long as our club stays on top, right? Doesn't matter if it's dirty or clean...)

Seriously, we need to wake up. We need to fix ourselves and fight for a better future for the fan movement here in America... It’s too easy to just sit back and say "it's pointless" or "what can you even do," just like everyone else complaining about the state of affairs in America...

Anonymous said:And honestly, I am REALLY interested in this too... organizing some kind of fundraiser to pool our money together so we can take them to court...

Look, I’m all for it. Every single American sports fan, regardless of which team they bleed for, needs to step up. We need to bury our differences for once and go after those lowlifes collectively (I'm talking about Ivo Sanders and that whole crowd of crooks who spent their lives drinking away the country's future...). Count me in. I'm leading the charge on this one...
Let's get organized and make this happen!
driftingangler6 said:If this trend of tossing shoes at politicians starts spreading globally, our local journalists are definitely going to have to start showing up to White House press briefings wearing fuzzy slippers instead of suits! 😍

Now, don't get me wrong—it’s easy enough to laugh, especially since the whole scene was absolutely ridiculous to watch, but I really do feel for the guy; he's completely and utterly screwed now...

Breaking news... Here is the official ruling from our top-tier politicians following that mess in Iraq:
From now on, journalists have to show up barefoot to photograph Mason, Sanders, and Bandić...😁
Only the high-reputation reporters, the ones like Hloverka and Hodak, get permission to wear actual clothes. 😁
Angela Lee said:Honestly, why even bother freeing him? If you ask me, he’d probably be better off back in Abu Ghraib😠, though I suppose the Iraqi security forces likely gave him a thorough lesson after all that and might still be keeping him in line today. He’ll never forget the moment he tried to take a shot at Bush😁. I have to say, I was genuinely surprised by how quickly Bush reacted; the guy has nothing to lose, I guess, so his reflexes were actually pretty impressive. You have this disheveled Iraqi guy trying to attack him with a shoe, and then there's Georgie just smirking right in his face🤣 before adding: "It was a size 10 shoe"😂🤣. What an absolute legend, that Georgie.

Listen, I might just have to deck you if you don't shut your mouth and calm down for a second. You’re acting exactly like Bush—just another loudmouthed leader who absolutely wrecked a hundred thousand families in Iraq.
The man is a total legend. Mad respect...👍

The papers are claiming they beat him senseless until he started crying like a baby—probably just trying to collect some insurance money, right? But honestly, I don't care. To me, he’s a hero. He’s one of those rare people actually brave enough to look those scumbags—politicians, corporate sharks, mobsters—straight in the eye and tell them exactly what he thinks of them...
Refugees in Antarctica in World ·
Baba Vanga was way more insightful than this...😁 This whole scenario just can't happen. It’s nonsense. But what Baba Vanga predicted? Now, that could actually be a story worth watching. Let’s just sit tight and see if she actually calls it right for once. Her prophecy is totally plausible, while this other stuff is just pure stupidity...
granitemarlin4 said:Just another great idea wasted on a noble cause 😉

Nobody needs peace these days—especially not in the USA, where the career of the world's most powerful nation seems to be hitting a wall!

Sometimes people just pick the wrong profession. So many politicians start out with the best intentions, but they never really get anywhere because they lack support from the major lobbies—and let's face it, those lobbies basically run global politics now, don't they?

People like that will only show up once the world gets torn apart again (think World War III...). Unless that happens, we're just going to be swallowed by the darkness.😉
France showed their true colors in Rwanda... and honestly, the most pathetic part is that even though an investigation proved they were right there in the middle of the massacre, nobody cares. Not a single person in France is being held accountable, despite the fact that it’s been established they were peddling weapons and actively participating in the killings—all while the French leadership looked the other way and gave it their blessing.
quietbadger34 said:Look, these kids have parents for a reason.

If their folks decide it’s actually better for the kids to go train in Madrid instead of Udine, then what exactly is the issue? I don't see one.

Does it honestly make you guys sick to your stomachs when parents choose to send their children off to train tennis at some high-end academy somewhere else?

It grosses me out too. Honestly, we should just ban the whole thing. What are kids supposed to do in this capitalist hellscape? Just serve as tools for their parents to chase some dream—whether that's an easier life or just getting rich...Kids are becoming nothing more than slaves to managers and their own parents... They don't even get a say in whether they want a normal childhood or if they want to live like characters in some action movie, training constantly and being ripped away from real life...
Modern sports looks less like actual athletics and more like gladiator fights in ancient Rome.👎

That’s why sometimes, when I look at Cuba, I really respect them. That’s what real sports are about. It's not just money, money, money...
blueotter70 said:That video you posted is a perfect snapshot of exactly who this kid is. Nothing more than a terrorist. I don't feel a shred of sympathy for him.

By that logic, I could post a hundred videos of Americans and suddenly nobody should feel bad for any of them either... your reasoning is pathetic...👎☕
Petition to overhaul the CNN sports desk in Other Sports ·
Can we get a formal petition going here to demand better scheduling at the CNN sports desk? This is unacceptable. They aren't even broadcasting the basketball games for the upcoming Olympic Games where Team USA is playing... We pay our fees, yet instead of funding actual sports coverage, all that money meant for the sports department gets dumped into a bunch of mindless nonsense...

Let’s organize this if there’s any sense of national pride left in us Americans who actually give a damn about sports and basketball...
Dennis Baker34 said:So, you’ve got this kid with a Canadian passport heading over to Afghanistan and dropping bombs on legitimate UN forces—which, in this case, means our own US Marines.
Honestly, they probably should have just given him a stern talking-to, handed him a lollipop, and sent him packing home so he could be back at it dropping bombs again tomorrow!!
Just take a look at his father's and brother's history for granted. All while their mother is sitting pretty back in Canada enjoying life!
If it were up to me, I’d toss the whole lot of them into an Afghan or Pakistani prison just to show them what real torture actually looks like!

I’d toss you straight into Guantanamo Bay... but people like you are exactly what guys like George W. Bush, Ivo Sanders, and those corporate tycoons and mobsters need. You people are the reason the world is going to hell...☕ (And here comes Bush claiming that now that we're in NATO, we can expect some massive economic boom similar to Jamaica or Turkey...

Has anything actually been proven against him? Other than a confession that was almost certainly beaten out of him... To hell with you and the USA...

Robin Hernandez4 said:It's not weird at all, but let me ask you this: would you actually vote for a guy who spends his time rambling about alien encounters? You should be paying me just to deal with a clown like you here in the USA. If I wanted to test your intelligence, I'd have a much easier time than this.

You haven't figured out a damn thing because you clearly can't grasp basic reality. I could give you a few addresses in the States where people claim they saw UFOs—maybe they did, maybe they didn't—but go ahead, try visiting those spots. I’d love to see where you end up...😁 maybe you'll wind up in Guantanamo being interrogated since you act like such a spy...😁
You people sure know exactly which places you're allowed to visit in the US and which ones are off-limits. Certain areas are fenced off and under heavy military surveillance, yet you call that freedom and democracy...

Your logic is basically what Catholic priests were pulling 500 years ago during the Dark Ages. When Columbus or Magellan were heading back from their voyages, those priests insisted the Earth couldn't possibly be round. They even burned and killed people for suggesting otherwise...
As for your precious USA, you can take it and shove it. It’s one of the few countries left that I have zero interest in visiting, purely because of how arrogant and thick-headed you lot are...

Robin Hernandez4 said:Who? Al Gore? The guy who claims he’s out there chatting with aliens or whatever space-man nonsense? Give me a break.😁 Dennis Kucinich is basically a punchline within the American Community here in the USA, so it’s no surprise he’s a joke to the rest of the country too.

What’s even weird about this? Honestly, I can't believe we aren't alone out there in space. If you're actually sitting there doubting it, just give me a call once you're in the USA. We'll head out to some bases together and maybe you'll finally learn something for once in your life.😉

neonpilot38 said:I honestly wonder where this world is headed when people like this start posting on forums

I mean, seriously? When someone can look at 22 civilians being killed at a wedding and call it "collateral damage," and then follow it up with some sociopathic comment about how "there will be more born by 2050"?

It’s sick minds like these that drive everything we see happening today

Which is exactly why I felt the need to say something

It feels like the life of one person in Afghanistan is worth less than a dog in the West!

Over here, if a pet dies, people are mourning and grieving for months on end.
But when they hear on the news that 22 innocent Afghans were slaughtered in the middle of a celebration—at a wedding, for God's sake—they just brush it off as collateral damage. To them, it's just another mundane statistic to digest over morning coffee.☕

If something like this happened to American citizens, the entire world would be in an uproar.
And don't even get me started on what the reaction would be if this had happened to Jewish people.

But no, when it happens to people in Afghanistan, Iraq, or Africa, it's all just "collateral damage."

Way to go, boss...🙏 While luxury pet cemeteries are popping up all over high-end neighborhoods, those same Americans who kill people over there won't even bother burying them properly. But hey, don't pay attention to these guys; their brains are too small to grasp reality anyway.😁 They're still stuck in those Rambo movies—you know, the sequels the government pushed because they didn't like the first one—and Rocky films where Americans are always the heroes and Russians are always the villains.

John Howard8 said:Have you ever actually heard the term "collateral damage"? Suppose one of those bystanders had actually been bin Laden; would you really argue they shouldn't have pulled the trigger? War is a brutal business, and there isn't always much room left for sentimentality or pure humanitarianism. Besides, if we're judging by the standards of people like Šljivančanin and Ratko Mercer, the Americans are practically saints by comparison. If this conflict were being waged by someone like Šljivančanin or Radić, they would have leveled several cities to the ground before even stepping foot inside, followed by massacres, rounding up survivors to be sent to Guantanamo Bay or Mexico City, and then moving on to the next town while issuing threats similar to what happened in Memphis. Things aren't quite as black and white as some people would have you believe. Of course, there are unintended casualties, and those are truly tragic, but we have seen far, far worse in our recent history. They managed to push the taliban back. It is almost certain that under taliban rule, the number of civilian casualties would have been significantly higher—not to mention the systemic oppression and the humiliation of women, which causes a level of suffering that is arguably more agonizing than death itself.

One of the supporters of Osama bin Laden...🤣 🤣 Oh my God...🙄 🤣 Comparing Maddox and Mercer to the Americans? Those guys are babies compared to the USA... (don't get me wrong, they earned life sentences, but they aren't even in the same league as the Americans when it comes to destruction and killing...) "Got the Taliban off our backs"... 😁 😁 Man, you are 0% informed...
Just stay out of the conversation if you don't know what you're talking about...
