Unbelievable, now you associate priests with pedophiles. You are a clear bigot.

So what is up with your anti-Catholic slam (about Vatican II) while correctly criticizing the bigotry suffered by Balotelli? This kind of hypocrisy is rampant in our society. Thanks for showing that modern “tolerance” is selective in its outrage. Prejudice against Catholics and other conservative Christians is the last socially acceptable prejudice. What kills me, as a Catholic priest, is that some of the biggest offenders are people who claim to be Catholic.

Comment on MLS responds to strike vote by Jeremy L.

Oy. Not good. I personally am generally on the players’ side in this. The contract situation in MLS is odd, if not possibly unconstitutional/anticompetitive. But a strike will not be good for anyone–owners, players, fans…nobody.

Well, you’re right. Olave was a good signing. I didn’t see anyone argue otherwise. He didn’t mention Wilman Conde either. It doesn’t mean Conde isn’t one of the league’s best defenders.

Every guy mentioned in the above post linked up with MLS in the last year, with the exception of Angel and Valderrama, and they’re obviously mentioned because they might be the best Colombian players to play in MLS. That seemed to me to be kind of the point: To highlight what’s becoming a pipeline from Colombia to MLS.

And you’re also right here: Ives and Insider are good. I read them both. They’re full-time soccer writers. We do it on the side for kicks while working full-time elsewhere. Thanks for reading.

Seriously? That’s your come back? Who cares about Benitez or Cuesta. They probably won’t even play that much this year.

You can’t seriously tell me that any Colombian signing, with the exceptions of Angel or Montero were bigger than Olave. Sorry.

Considering the very few comments you guys have on your blog, you would think you would learn to handle criticism a little more diplomatically.

That’s okay, ASN, Ives and the Insider do a better job anyways.
