The Rockets will win the NBA title because the bubble environment eliminates their weaknesses

I've had a thought bubble in my head that I just think the Rockets are going to win the title just so that we can all discount Daryl Morey and James Harden and be like, that's not real... there's no fans behind the back distract[ing]... no strip clubs inside the bubble. That's a bonus for Harden.

The Rockets were eliminated in the second round by the Lakers.

So if you're living under a rock he... had a hot mic situation where he used a homophobic slur and probably is going to lose his job.

Staying safe in the bubble and practicing good hygiene is a bigger accomplishment for the Capitals than winning the Stanley Cup

I think that being in the bubble, staying safe, practicing good hygiene, and not spreading the virus around... I think is better than winning a Stanley Cup. It's a testimony to just what a great team [the Capitals] is.

This is a satirical opinion used to deflect from a playoff loss; it cannot be literally evaluated but the Capitals did not win the Cup.

The 2020 Stanley Cup doesn't really count and it's the best year to lose because there is no parade

Does it really count this year? I'm sitting here, this is the easiest year to lose... There's no parade I could go to, there's no Stanley Cup celebration. I'm not going to drink out of the cup again this year. So honestly, I'm glad I hope a new team wins.

The 2020 Stanley Cup is officially recorded, though fans often debate 'asterisk' seasons.

France is unstoppable in the 2026 World Cup

When we first got the bracket, I said I was gonna go chalk and just bet on France. They just seem like there's nothing that you can do to stop him. France looks unstoppable.

The 2026 World Cup final is likely still pending or just occurring around the episode date.

The toxicity towards Christian Pulisic proves America is finally a real soccer country

I think with the amount of vitriol that has gone towards Christian Pulisic, we have shown for the first time we might be a real soccer country because that actually, it's nuts how he's gotten bashed by everyone. The fact that it's gotten so toxic towards this one guy, it's like, oh shit. Maybe we could become a country that people cared that much about it.

This is a subjective cultural take on fandom.
