2019 Alumni Game Recap

[fromthefishbowl]

Hi I read your post about why mafia au's are bad and you make some good points! However, you can't compare writing Joe as a terrorist and nicky as a mobster as they aren't even remotely in the same realm. There is a real world problem where people in western cultures genuinely perceive MENA people as threats or terrorists and they are discriminated against because of it. However, no one actively discriminates against Italians because they think they're possible mobsters. Just letting you know :)

I feel like you don’t consider it to be a “real-world problem” because it’s not your problem and you specifically have never lived in a country that has been going through it for centuries and it doesn’t hit you specifically.

First of all, “mobster” is the American term. If you want to write Nicky as a mafioso, don’t use that word.

Second, it really shouldn’t be hard to comprehend the idea that, if multiple Italians have been telling you to please, don’t write Nicky as a mafioso because it’s a hurtful stereotype and mafiose organizations aren’t as cool and sexy as how you want them to be, you should think about your opinion regarding it a few times over.

Third, as I said, it’s fiction and if you want to write him as a mafia boss, you can, it’s just a shitty ass move that is completely tone-deaf to the problems a nation is suffering and shows a great display of ignorance from your part, as well as unwillingness to inform yourself and a certain nit-picking attitude when it comes to understanding what information Italian people in the fandom are providing regarding the issues our, and therefore Nicky’s, country goes through.

Also... my post was not about how much discrimination Italians face because of the mafia? I am not smart nor cultured enough to discuss such issues regarding my own nationality, and I am even less prepared to discuss about what MENA people go through (especially because it wouldn’t come from first hand experience and it would be extremely hypocritical, as well as just plain rude, of me to talk over actual MENA folks who discuss these topics). The point of my post is: don’t write Nicky as a mafioso because it’s a stereotype on the same level as writing Joe as a terrorist, a xenophobic stereotype based on what the media have been feeding us for decades.

Mafiosi are terrorists, regardless of how Americans have been polishing their image through fancy movies, and regardless of the fact that you like it or not. Matteo Massima Denaro, a Cosa Nostra boss, is one of the most wanted men in the world. ISIS terrorists don’t attack Italy simply because mafia organizations let them stay on our territories as long as they don’t attack them, as it would increase police controls.

If you want to go on and write your Mafia AU with Nicky being a boss who wears Armani suits, then go on, there’s literally nothing I can do to stop you, but know that it’s a show of extreme ignorance and unwillingness to learn from Italian people while, in the same breath, pretending to fawn over us, our culture, our actors, and even the characters whose roots can be found in our country.

To drag the point home hopefully once and for all, since that “real-world problem” bothered me to no end, under the cut I decided to add some explanations, pictures, and the names of the people that Cosa Nostra murdered in two terroristic attacks in 1992.

I can provide more if you ask for them.

TW for: remaining of explosions, and non-in-depth re-telling of terroristic acts.

Giovanni Falcone and Paolo Borsellino were two magistrates who, in the Eighties and Nineties, were extremely active in the fight against Cosa Nostra, the Sicilian mafia.

In order to kill Falcone, they placed a 400kg bomb on the Autostrada A4, murdering Falcone, his wife, Francesca Morvillo, and three other men (Antonio Montinaro, Vito Schifani, and Rocco Dicillo). It was May 23rd 1992, and this is now known as the “Strage di Capaci”, the carnage of Capaci.

The mangled car in which Falcone and his wife died is now a monument.

To kill Borsellino, they bottled a car with TNT and made it explode while the judge was driving by to visit his sister. It killed Borsellino and five other people (Agostino Catalano, Emanuele Loi, Vincenzo Li Muli, Walter Eddie Cosina, and Claudio Traina). It was July 19th 1992, and this is now known as the “Strage di Via d’Amelio”, the carnage of Via d’Amelio.

Our country is still actively mourning them and their work.

“You didn’t kill them: their ideas are now walking with our legs.”

So... is this a “real-world problem” enough, now?

Our Monday recap includes everything from the drafted teams to Sports Center Top 10 catches in the outfield.

 The morning started off with a practice that was meant to loosen up the muscles, but what it turned into was a tryout for the campers to be scouted by their favorite coaches. The looming worry about the lunch time draft left players diving for fly balls, swinging the bat to hit the ball to the moon, and straining muscles they didn’t even know they had. It was as if they were that little kid again in gym class, waiting for their name to be called onto a team. Don’t fret campers, everyone gets drafted! Participation trophies for all!

 The doors then closed and the coaching staff got started on the draft. The room was tense as each name was taken and put onto the board. Victor Rodriguez and Frank Viola got into a scrum over a player who they thought would lead them to the 2020 Fantasy Camp Championship. Trot and Dauber whispered side by side, strategically planning their next move. Alan Embree talked up players he knew nothing about to try and throw off next round choices, but the group caught on to his guerrilla warfare tactics. El Tiante fell asleep.

  The teams got together, sang a cheer, and headed out to the fields to try and win their first regular season match.

 The Bombers and Heroes had a close game in the main stadium. The campers got fired up as their name could be heard over the loud speakers walking up to the plate. Each team was facing the sun in the outfield. Their chances of catching any fly balls was slim. Against all odds, they rose to the occasion! There were multiple catches made that had the crowd jumping up and down, cheering in pure amazement. Steve Wolfe (Awwwoooooooo) made an unbelievable, almost backwards, snag in the right center. The Heroes were able to rally and win 4-6.

 Sabe’s Babes and Wins & Saves was a different story. Wins and Saves crushed the Babes, 14-6. Bret Saberhagen was seen shedding a tear in the dugout after the game, while coach Tom Gordon flipped the Gatorade cooler. Yikes… Wins & Saves, congrats on the first game W and welcome to the winner’s circle- for now.

 The Legends and the Outlaws had 27 runs all together. These games were coach pitched. Maybe our coaches should get some more practice in before lobbing the ball over the plate. Campers, take it while you can! That was just a warm up. Embree’s Outlaws outlasted the Legends, and came away with the 15-12 victory.

 Something must have been in the water at JetBlue Park yesterday morning, because there was another 29 run game. Stanley’s Steamers and Corsi’s Fireballers went neck and neck, fighting until the last inning. Corsi was seen pacing the dugout, almost about the charge the Ump, at every play. After last camp, Corsi was longing for a team that could win a game. And gosh dammit, the Fireballers did not disappoint. His team ended the drought and won the game 15-14. Corsi, your luck may be changing!

 The last game was a blowout not usually seen during coach pitched games. Billy’s Ballgamers demolished Nixon’s DirtDogs 18-3. You heard it here folks, 18-3. Trot is known for pitching zingers against his own team, but was that the reasoning here? Or did Billy “Where’s the sunscreen?” Mueller and Keith “I need to take a nap” Foulke draft the dream team to beat?

 We’ll have to wait and see!

National Lacrosse League Announces 2019-20 NLL Award Winners

The National Lacrosse League (@NLL), the longest running and most successful professional lacrosse league in the world, officially announced the 2019-20 NLL Award winners. All awards are voted on by head coaches, general managers, and the League’s Board of Governors.

Like all major sports, the 2019-2020 season was interrupted, and ultimately cut short due to COVID-19.  There was over 15 weeks of game play and much success for the players, teams, and fans of NLL’s 13 active franchises—including two competing for the first time this year. All three divisions featured tight races with three or more teams within two games of the lead, the launch of the Alterna Cup Series, and thrilling overtime victories.

"In an unusual year we congratulate such exceptional players coaches and executives,”  said NLL Commissioner, Nick Sakiewicz. “At the end of each season we award top performers and they epitomize everything that is good about the game of lacrosse on and off the field. All our leaders and athletes participate in the top lacrosse league in the world, and this year’s winners have distinguished themselves as the best of the best. We look forward to the time when we can present these awards in person and honor each of them with their teammates in front of their home fans."

He continues to represent the sport of lacrosse to the highest degree and tallied 27 goals and 33 assists on the season.

Making it three consecutive seasons, Halifax Thunderbirds stalwart, Graeme Hossack took home Defensive Player of the Year honors.

Two playlists in the same day??? Crazy. But yes. It’s happening. 2016 was a good year for music just in terms of 2016 releases. However. It was even better for me finding all sorts of albums from previous years. And I wanted to make a playlist dedicated to them. And I wanted to talk a bit about each song too. Because... I don’t really know. Because if it weren’t for music, 2016 would have broken me probably. And like yeah. I just wanted to shoutout some songs / albums from previous years that I discovered in 2016, that people may or may not have heard, and that were realistically some of my favourite listens of the year.

So, Great Expectations by The Gaslight Anthem. Great song. Love the reference to a Dickens’ novel I’ve been about halfway through since sometime in 2015... one day I’ll finish it. And that line about Fallon sitting by his bedside reading papers and poetry about Estella (who is a character in aforementioned novel)--I really like that line. Idk why. Maybe because it’s absolutely me. Or something like that. Who knows fam. Funny thing about this song though; song number eight should’ve been I’da Called You Woody, Joe, and song number one was Flowers & You. But for some stupid fuckin reason, they don’t have Sink or Swim on Spotify. And I wasn’t just gonna leave them out, so I swapped the positions of Touché and Gaslight. Thankfully, both still killer tunes.

Number two is Burn After Writing, by The Menzingers. The fucking Menzingers, as Jack and Alex would say (hey who remembers Jalex? anyone still ship Jalex? this guy does both!). Anyway. This song. I actually legit fell in love with it while skating, as I’ve been doing that a lot over the past couple weeks. Went again last night. Almost landed my first ollie yo!!! And by almost I mean it wasn’t even close, but ya know. Anyway, yeah couple weeks ago I was skating around the area in my estate that’s currently being developed. There’s a nice big roundabout there and I just skate around the top of it because it is new and smooth and cars don’t go on top of the roundabout. And I had my small shitty $10 sony earphones in (always gotta have a pair of them. always). And this song came on and that guitar riff hit in the chorus and I’m like yoooooooooooo fav. Right now fav. I don’t give a fuck. This is amazing. And the chorus is actually great--most of the lyrics in this song are. But that whole you cut my hair / you left red ink everywhere / do my hands tell a story / is it boring / is like, that’s like, on some legit writer insecurities / welcome to the real world bitch, level shit. And I love it. But also the fact that it was like, super fast and I had the wind blowing through my hair as I was doing laps around the roundabout on the board. That definitely made the moment a bit more--how do I put this--a bit more I’M THE BIGGEST LOSER IN THE WORLD HELL YEAH!!!!!!!

Song three; January 10th, 2014, by The World is a B E A utiful Place & I am No Longer Afraid to Die. Yeah nothing really special about the discovery of this one other than that my sister had somehow been listening to this album for a year before I even checked it out (despite me being a fan of the band). I was kinda just sitting on the couch, listening to music, while playing Alan Wake a couple weeks ago, and this song played and I was like yoooooooooooooooooooo. And then that whole how great that someone’s doing what many of us should have done line hit with the really post rock guitar noise and I just fuckin melted fam. And then I stepped back out into the train yard in after turning off the power in Alan Wake and the darkness came and possessed every object (portions of the train track; those huge spools of wire; disconnected carriages; etc) in that train yard and I proceeded to die. Over and over again as I had no flashlight batteries. And that’s how I fell in love with this song and rage quit Alan Wake at the same time.

Rattlesnakes is next. Y’all know my feels on this album / band / song, if you read the my albums of the year list. One of the best guitar songs all year. Some of my favourite hella obscure and symbolic lyrics of the year. Lonely the brave are one of the best bands out. I’m glad Black Mire was the first single released off the album, but this was definitely the standout single for me. It’s just so fucking huge and I fucking love it and I don’t remember the first time I heard it. Probably (read: most likely) sat on my ass in Brisbane after my day at uni, browsing twitter when it was announced.

Song five; A Sunday. Very sparkle. Much twinkle. Wow. Love it. I believe I had this album to my spotify in the second half of the year, and I may or may not have been walking home from Roma St, and it played on shuffle, and I was like, as with every other song in this playlist, yoo-- kidding. But I was definitely like hey this is pretty rad man. In my head. Not like... out loud. Never out loud. Especially in public (despite the fact that I got caught singing out loud every other day walking to the train station this year... look I can’t help it. it is a problem). But yeah, Jimmy Eat World as I’ve mentioned before; only song I actually knew by them was The Middle, as I feel like that’s the only song that ever got any attention over here in Aus. And I just kinda slept on them for a little bit, but a couple months ago was finally like, yo fuck it, time to binge on Jimmy Eat World’s discog. And I did Clarity, Bleed American, and Static (which are definitely the three) but also did Chase This Light and Damage, which are less good but still pretty good tbh. But it was between A Sunday and For Me This is Heaven as they both had 76 plays each, but then Strobe Life came in with 80 plays and I wasn’t going to do all-encompassed 2016 playlist without anything from The Bronx (I) in it.

And Julien Baker too. Didn’t think I’d listened to her album / EP / whatever as much as I did. But 63 plays don’t lie fam. Like I really fuckin love it don’t get me wrong. Just was surprising seeing this song had 63 plays. And for as much as love Sprained Ankle, I feel like I haven’t really talked about it at all. So yes, Julien Baker’s music is fucking amazing. She’s one of the only, of those kinds of artists I really legitimately enjoy. The whole singer/songwriter, just a woman and her guitar. I feel like a lot of them, no offence or anything, are just hella fuckin MMMMMEH. Especially the hella radio friendly / indie festival crowd / these people all sound the same ones. Baker’s way way far above every other person who plays that music, female, male, or non gender conforming.

Seven is Celapram by Aussie rapper Horrorshow. Fuckin intense pessimistic depressing lyrics. I love it. Got this album (The Grey Space) for $1 at the huge huge huge-ass Lifeline *book* sale in Brisbane. Now that’s a steal fam. But this song in particular hit me in the face on the train back home to Bundaberg a couple days after that.

Song eight. Of course there’s another Touché song in here. Why wouldn’t there be. Best album of the year. This song is also one of the best guitar songs of the year. From halfway in, till the end that guitar line just never fails to kill me dead.

Song nine is a Florence + the Machine song. Crazy. But not really. I actually got the deluxe edition of her latest album for like, $4 as it was in the clearance bin at a JB Hifi in Brisbane, and I’m like, yeah whatever sure why not, I do like that Ship to Wreck song. And that was when I was in Brisbane for that period of three days in june. When my cousin drove my back down there to go talk to the uni people about extensions, special consideration and all that due to how much I wasn’t able to be in Brisbane around that time. That’s the most like, on top of things I’ve ever been in my life yo. I only needed the one day of that three day stint to get all my uni shit together. So then I got this album on the second day of that three-day stint. And literally the day after I went back up to Bundaberg with Dad and Uncle Matt and my younger brother who had to come to Brisbane for the day as my brother had to get his mouth fixed at the Children’s Hospital. And nobody had any music so we listened to How Big, How Bluem How Beautiful the whole four hour drive home. And as doped up as my brother was (like, he was so out of it he walked right into two walls on the way out of the hospital, so we had to like, guide him out), he was still able to manage a “HA GHEY!” towards the album. But this (Lungs) is a better album, in my opinion. And Cosmic Love is my favourite song on that album. And I only got Lungs because Uncle Matt said it has Florence’s best song (Rabbit Heart) on it. But Cosmic Love is my favourite.

Then there’s The Bronx. A Not Metal Pod album recommendation. There’s been a lot of those this year, and if you like alternative (real alternative, not 1975 / Halsey / 21 Pilots alternative), punk, hardcore, metal, rock, any of those genres, you need to listen to that podcast. If you listened to the old Metal Hammer Podcast, you need to listen to this. Stephen Hill and Terry Bezer are the hosts. And it’s so great to listen to two people get as excited about music as I do. Love it. But yeah The Bronx I, I bought because they talked about it being amazing on that podcast. And it is a phenomenal album. And Strobe Life is such a fuckin closer. Even if you��re not into punk or hardcore, I think you’d still like Strobe Life. It’s very very melodic. And that peak when it hits like IT’S TIME TO WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKE UP / I’VE BEEN ASLEEP FOR FAR TOO LONG is like, good god yes.

Second last track here is a slamming hardcore punk song about how fucked Great Britain is, from a fucking intense hardcore punk album about how fucked Great Britain is, that was released in 2009. I fell in love with it on a bus home from uni after my Japanese class. All you really need to know about it is the union jack has bled away / it’s back and white and it’s fucking grey and that is absolutely my kind of thing. If it sounds like your thing too, well, you know what to do.

And finally, The Wonder Years. Oh The Wonder Years. Oh I love this band so much. So so much. I fell hard in love with The Wonder Years this year. How you ask? Well. Last year there was a Let’s Play the Achievement Hunter guys did with Dan from The Wonder Years. And I didn’t watch it till this year and Dan struck me so much as a person, that I was like yo I need to listen to his band. And then like, a week after I watched that Let’s Play they talked about No Closer to Heaven on the Not Metal Pod and said there was a song with Jason from letlive. on it and that it was one of the best appearances ever. Or maybe they weren’t that gushing. But they definitely spoke very highly of it. And I went back and listened to the podcast episode where they reviewed that whole album and the “yeeeeeees” that Beez screamed when Hill said he loved the album was the most genuine like “OH MY GOD HELL FUCKIN YEAH I’M SO HAPPY RN" thing I’ve ever heard. And anyway, eventually, towards the end of the year (after scouring Brisbane city for their albums and being able to get everything physical but TGG, I caved and got it on bandcamp) I heard The Greatest Generation. And my god. My. Fucking. Lordy. Lord. I think I said on twitter that the first seven songs were total five star, perfect, I-know-every-single-word-to-all-of-these-songs-and-I’ve-only-had-the-album-for-two-days... songs. I would like to amend that statement. The first 13 songs are all those kinds of songs. This is a perfect perfect perfect album. And I decided to choose what Wonder Years song to put on this last, because honestly it was always just going to fill the gap where there was one song missing on the playlist. And that gap happened to be song 12. Cul-de-sac. Perfect song.
