Yeah I’m Mr. Krabs (an invertebrate) and I love me money, and it’s all being wasted on barnacles (Ukraine) that don’t help me country of Bikini USA which needs a lot. You should actually donate yourself to go fight since you’re such a nobleman and don’t care about your own home….

And yes that’s their problem not mine and shouldn’t be ours.

Maybe I'm reading it wrong. From my understanding, the plaintiffs are sharing $600,000. An individual plaintiff is receiving a payment of $15,000 or $7,500, depending on their group.

There's a bunch of numbers there, so if I'm wrong, I apologize.

EDIT: yep, I misunderstood. $600,000 to the REPRESENTATIVES. The other $120 million goes to the players.

Hard to argue with that comment really. Hadn’t really thought about picking and choosing their protests to suit their agenda. Every day is a school day.

I’m hoping the down voting was for this and not the fact that I’m agreeing that Palestinians are being being treated poorly by the Israeli regime…which they most certainly are.

Litigation costs are the fees spent pursuing or defending a legal claim or litigation. These charges may include attorney's fees, court filing fees, expert witness fees, and other costs associated with case preparation and presentation. In this case, it looks like the attorney fees and other litigation fees were separated.

43 were caught, (these are just confirmed cheaters with one specific government sponsor cheating program) out of 232. And yes I’ve seen NCAA teams lose eligibility for violations of the few.

Russia is also violating the spirit of the Olympic with its unprovoked invasion of a neighboring country. Russia is also committing war crimes by constantly attacking civilians electricity depriving them of heat and water. Any Russian medals will be used as propaganda for their enslaved populace during wartime, There is a bigger picture picture involved.

Anyway. Since this article posted Russian allow to compete under neutral flag

Protesting Israel’s actions in Palestine is commendable as there is obvious concerns about the treatment of Palestinians. Disappointing all the same that Indonesia won’t get to host the U20 WC.

The argument about football being separate from politics is there to be had but when people are being removed from their homes and treated as poorly as the Palestinians are being treated, it can’t be avoided in my opinion.
