Everyone will hate the New York Knicks if they actually get good.

The Knicks Twitter too, I'm enjoying it right now. But that's a classic case of if the Knicks ever get really good, people will hate the Knicks so goddamn much. Because they're kind of the darling right now because it's been so long.

This is a subjective take on fan sentiment.

The European Super League will destroy every club soccer team below the elite level

The richest teams in Italy, Spain, and England... are going to create a league where they're basically doing away with the Champions League. Why would we share money with everyone when we can make a super league and we get to keep all the money... it will therefore basically destroy every club soccer team below them in all of these countries. It's going to ruin the game of soccer.

The Super League proposal faced immediate, massive backlash and collapsed within days of this episode, confirming the widely held sentiment that it was damaging to the sport.

I don't think the European Super League will actually happen.

I don't think it will happen. I don't think it's going to happen. But it does suck if it does happen.

The European Super League collapsed within 48 hours of its announcement due to massive fan and political backlash.

Ben Askren didn't care about the Jake Paul fight and just took a paycheck

Honestly, when I saw him and he was so fat, he had the love handles for the weigh-in, I was like, that guy's not in fighting shape... I think he thought the whole thing was a sham the second he walked into the ring... So Ben Askren just went in there and was like, this is a joke. I'm going to treat it like a joke and just took his paycheck.

Askren's poor conditioning and relaxed reaction to the loss were widely mocked, supporting the theory that it was primarily a financial decision for him.

I am done believing in Wisconsin basketball because they always rip my guts out in the tournament

I think the only lesson I've learned is like, I need to just stop believing. Because this has also become a thing where the Badgers haven't been to the Sweet 16 in like nine years... every year that we keep going is another year that I'm just reminded how close I was in 2015. I will never get back there. It just won't happen like every other team.

This is a subjective emotional state and a prediction of future failure for his own team.

High Point isn't a real school. It's vacation. It's vacation use four years of post high school vacation... Students in Madison right now still have another like, solid month and a half of Winter. High Point is going and eating ice cream and in their shorts and flip flops and having steaks.

It is a real accredited university, though it is known for its luxury amenities.

Greg Gard deserves criticism but should not be fired as Wisconsin's head coach

I trust Greg Gard, but yeah, you have to throw some criticism to him... But I do not think he should be fired. And I don't think making an irrational... I think he does a pretty damn good job with everything that he's given.

The decision to keep or fire a coach is subjective/managerial.
