Their service supports community rights and governmental authority. The government avoids larger controversy by being neutral and inclusive of all Americans with the red/white/blue nod. The state may choose to consult with communities... but it's the state's supreme authority over local communities.

The colors of the USA represent the principles and freedom to celebrate rainbows.

Pride in country is good, and the state deciding what to do with what is theirs (bridges) is fine by me. Showing pride in the country that gives individuals its freedom could run 365 days...

Same - he beats the Americans and seems like a lock... but nope.

Kim wrestled soundly and was in control throughout the match. He sort of got screwed there with two similar positions for no call for 2TD during the match. Then the challenge and loses with no time. I didn't like it. The better wrestler lost partially due to bad reffing. Kim could have scored more during the match, and he tried...

Sejeet seems like an easier match for Ochir than his last two. Kudiev is big for the weight like Zain. Kudiev was close on executing a couple big moves but was outwrestled in every position.

Zain needs Ochir to win 2 in a row to unlock Zain's chance to compete for true third. If unlocked for Zain, his path to third is work. Zain can do it.

Spencer can win this one and qualify the weight. If he loses, he must win two for true third. https://uww.org/event/world-og-qualifier-0/brackets

Ref was biased? Stopped the lace prematurely. Didn't call passivity on red in 2nd period. Spencer held center and attacked. Red did nothing until the final 30s. Spencer was worn down. Wins by one.

This is not a folkstyle match!

Wahlberg projects a walking billboard of smugness, distance, confusion, annoyance, and angryness. He isn't that likeable in the first few minues, and then you read about his repeated violent racist tendacies IRL. There is something about his continued smugness that doesn't match the 'From Prison to Catholic' story. Or maybe it was his role in Boogie Nights that doesn't fit the family values story.

@BobDole - Do the poll results match your moderator experience?

I think the topic with unhealthy comments was deleted...

A crass comment is going to piss people off. Rasta is normally good people. Let it go.

What do the poll results mean?

Give him a spot to the Olympics seems fair.

You're right on target. Trolls are still causing disruptions with their misinformation and provocations, and it's still a struggle to guide them towards expressing informed opinions, on point, rooted in context, research, logic, facts, and honesty. Follow the law and follow the golden rule is the beginning and end of my authoritarian wish. I'm not authoritarian... unlike those that support controlling media, surveillance, elections, censorship, covid mandates... I use my freedom of speech when referring to anthem protestors as jerks and I extend the uncommon courtesy to explain my reasoning. There is some news... an imposter member was added to the ignore list.

How many times did you try to make the conversation about blame, justice, nuance? How often did you meaningfully engage on how accountability matters? Conversely, the village was acknowledged on page 1, page 2... Evasion, deflection, arguing to argue is partially why your posts are clowned.

Did Brooks execute and score a double leg takedown?

No, he is the first Brooks. It looked like his strength and technique were more than Taylor could handle. Taylor was in a good position but could not finish.

Different strokes. I watched Greco in person at a World Trials and became a fan. They knock each other out, choke each other out, and toss each other. I don't always get the same vibe watching on TV unless it's Champion Greco matches. I did like watching Max Black wrestle this cycle. While down in par terre, multiple times he hit reverses and then threw his opponent.

Did I see Nolf get pushed out twice with no calls in addition to no calls when not engaging in the second period? Huh? It was a good match by Nolf but a head-scratcher on some no-calls.
