Wait for that young man to encounter Wickard v. Filburn!
As some of you may know, I’m in a soccer family. Daughters started playing at 4 years old and continued through college and into adult leagues. I’ve been reffing youth soccer for 20 years. I no longer engage with my Ds friends on politics, but one in particular has been greatly enjoying the WC and I’ve been educating him on the finer points of soccer. He posted a picture of Erling Haaland, the amazing player from Norway. I commented that the guy would look great in a horned helmet and with a broadsword. I was immediately chastised by his friends for “ethnically profiling” Norwegians. Never mind that the Norwegian fans in the WC stands are totally decked out in Viking regalia.
On a similar, and I guess unsurprising note, they are now claiming it’s Trump’s fault that the US lost to Belgium. How that’s possible doesn’t seem to cross their minds. I gave them a link to Carli Lloyd’s brutal assessment of the US team’s lack of focus and poor play, but it’s still Trump’s fault. Just another example of how politics and TDS affect these people…..I’m convinced it will be written up as a true mental condition in the future.

First, awesome treehouse. Second, over 100 acres on fertile land… nirvana.
