It isn’t Wednesday, but the wire is on my mind. There is a ton of sports going on, primarily in the Soccer world, but elsewhere as well. I’ll open with Senegal taking it to England… That was nice to see. From there to Mexico moving hotels in LA over violence concerns. That is definitely going to spiral out of control when the National Guard or more likely ICE mistakes someone on the squad for an immigrant and or (especially or) tries to raid the Gold Cup match to cull immigrants. That kind of wild stuff is the new normal in the USA. The fact that I’m even thinking it could happen and doing so casually should be an indication of where things actually are.
One thing I’ve learned on this journey is that the sports news is different wherever you go. When I’m not using a VPN I’m automatically routed to the Spanish version of sports sites and they focus on anything but American football. Even the NFL page focuses on the game that will be played in Barcelona. This amkes sense, given the audience. It is just nice to see that the news we get in the USA isn’t all there is in the world. I feel that more and more… especially outside of the sports stuff.
Some Thoughts:
- Tomorrow is the last beach day in Spain. Gonna miss the sand and the wind and the clear water.
