The Olympics should have kept 15s rugby instead of switching to 7s

If you had the 15s with the great horses, you know, they only can only play once a week... rugby sevens, I thought was a great addition, but [15s] has the great horses.

Subjective preference for sports formats.

I am officially cancelling all sports until 2022 to avoid further heartbreak

I'm approaching [cancellations] the exact opposite way. I am cancelled sports for 2020, 2021 and possibly 2022 and anything that we get that comes sooner than that is a bonus. I'm not gonna let myself get my heart broken over and over... the world has ended and sports are over.

Sports returned much earlier than 2022 (summer/fall 2020), making this literal prediction incorrect.

The future of sports is video games and closed-set UFC fights

The future of sports is everyone watching video games and then every three weeks or so a closed set where Dana White has people beat the fuck out of each other. That's all we have.

UFC was indeed the first major sport back with closed sets, though traditional sports returned in bubbles soon after.

The NFL should play on a remote island or in Hawaii to save the season

The NFL actually should be looking at like island property right this second. They should be looking wherever the fucking Bahamas Bowl is played... go to Hawaii. Go back to the Pro Bowl.

The NFL did not move to an island; they eventually played in home stadiums with various protocols.

The US loss to Turkey in the World Cup group stage means absolutely nothing

The second that we got scored on by Turkey in the last minute, don't really care at all that we lost that game. That game means less than nothing to us. No one's gonna remember what you did in that third game. We already advanced first in our group.

The US advanced as the top seed despite the loss, making the result literally irrelevant to their tournament survival.

Belgium's national soccer team isn't that good

I don't think that Belgium's that good. I'll say it. Maybe I'm looking past Bosnia and Herzegovina, but in Senegal path, I love it.

Belgium's tournament performance will determine if they are indeed 'not that good.'

VAR makes soccer a lot worse, especially for offsides calls.

I think that soccer is one sport that we can say the VAR it makes a lot of stuff worse. Yeah, the offsides on the VAR is so much worse.

This is a subjective opinion about the impact of VAR on the enjoyment of soccer.
