I have been to many, many, many, MANY incredible sporting events at Suncorp Stadium. I have never, ever, ever, EVERRRRRR, experienced anything like that. If this place had a roof it would be in New South Wales right now.

If only you previously had some sort of symbol for when an account was a verified, 'official' account.
Maybe similar to your logo... and it could be blue, with a little tick to say that they'd been approved. Just an idea though.
I admire Pat Cummins for plenty of reasons but his ability to drive some of the worst people in Australia absolutely mental because he cares about others is very high on the list.
He was brilliant today 👏
The best part of the night might’ve been Margaret Court being forced to watch as everyone, including Barty, gushes about how awesome and inspirational Evonne Goolagong Cawley is

I actually don’t know how you get a more blatant push in the back than this. I don’t think it’s possible. You could use it as a video in next season’s umpire guide.

video rights are so restrictive that it’s bloody hard to find a highlights package of Glenn Maxwell’s innings on social media.
When will sporting leagues wake up like the NFL and NBA have? Anyone being able to post highlights promotes your sport!
The Sydney Sixers have absolutely lost the plot appealing this. This is absolutely mental from Tom Curran.
What on earth was he doing? We’ve seen some wacky stuff in the Big Bash but this might take the cake. Totally nuts.

I need to see vision of this entire incident that has resulted in Tom Curran being suspended for FOUR Big Bash League games. It sounds absolutely mental.

Australia is the dad who keeps claiming the family is on a tight budget when it comes to groceries but goes and buys a new drone for himself on the weekend…
What an utterly bizarre thing to tweet when you just had the worst World Cup performance in your nation's history and your biggest rival just won the bloody thing.
Usman Khawaja is a man of great integrity. He doesn't do anything without thinking deeply about it. I support his right to freedom of speech and so should you.
#Cricket
In Australia we’re having debates about how it’s too unfair to trade a player mid-season…
The US is trading blokes while they’re standing on second base 😅
Aussie fans won’t want to see this but the West Indies pacemen tearing Australia apart is the best bloody thing to happen in test cricket on these shores in a long while.

you just produced a watershed moment in Australian sport. No longer is it ‘the gays’ who aren’t welcome, it’s you - the intolerant - that we don’t want.
Does anyone else find it a little ridiculous that an American cartoon company can just trademark the name of an Australian animal? It's not like the Tasmanian Devil is fictitious..

Boomers weren’t willing to sacrifice negative gearing or franking credits to help younger generations but now I’m supposed to believe they’ll all sacrifice their own lives at the altar of Coronavirus just to save us from economic pain? Yeah, right.

Just thought I’d point out that this stadium is reportedly estimated to cost between 893m - 1 billion euros.
That’s somewhere between $1 to 1.2 billion *LESS* than the new Gabba.
🤔
Real Madrid's new stadium is a game-changer.
It includes a fully retractable pitch that can be stored beneath the stadium with the push of a button.
The storage space includes ventilation, air conditioning, irrigation systems, LED lighting, control cameras, and ultraviolet
The idea that Usman Khawaja preaching peace, love and equality for all is the same as Israel Folau promoting hate, bigotry and discrimination is one of the most asinine things I've ever read on this platform.
‘GWS played at 16 venues last season, Collingwood played 17 at the MCG. If you’re looking for complete equalisation don’t waste your time’
Well said 👏
That revelation about Melbourne clubs threatening to boycott the academy bidding is laughable 😆
Dave Sharma and Tim Wilson refusing to concede and going into hiding says so much about them and the pathetic politics they’ve brought to Australia. Happy to take pot shots and punch down but when it the time comes for courage they’re nowhere to be found.

Australia finally making the right call on Djokovic but doing it in the most embarrassing, incompetent way possible is very on brand at the moment.

@FOXSportsNews
. When i walked into the old Pyrmont studios in ‘09 it was a dream come true for a sports fanatic like myself and I’ve never forgotten that feeling over the next 11yrs.
This was always just politics to these people. They didn’t care about indigenous Australians. They didn’t care about any of it. They just wanted to hand Labor a loss. Shameful.
At what point does someone need to step in and say enough is enough? This is really hard to watch. I feel for Pucovski but his long term health has to be more important.
A 3 week ban for this is manifestly inadequate. If there’s a process for the league (AFL, VFL, whatever) to challenge they have to.
You cannot go around king hitting blokes off the ball and only get 3 weeks.

Ignoring the really gross replies, the number of whiners & naysayers who dismiss the recent Matildas success with comments about ‘ticket pricing’ are ridiculous. The fact that Football Australia have made supporting this team affordable is a good thing. Your code should too.
Ch9 punting Andrew Voss because Ray Hadley didn’t like him is one of the stupidest (and funniest) decisions in Australian TV sports history. Brilliant commentator.

You know what I love most about this game sealing try for Cameron Munster? Absolutely no one goes to him to celebrate. They’re all rushing the Collins who did all the hard work. Brilliant!

Keeping total US deaths to 100,000 already seems impossible. They’ll hit that mark before June at this rate.
If they only averaged 300 deaths/day until the end of the year (extremely optimistic) total deaths would be 140k+. and they’re easing restrictions not tightening them.
Well done to whoever decided not to show the Jeremy Howe broken arm replays. Sometimes they might get rolled in a broadcast before broadcast crew realise how bad the injury is but that was very well handled. No one needs to see that.

My parents just arrived home in Australia after being stuck in Europe and this is their flight.
They’re the only people in an entire section of economy while first and business class are packed.

Pretty disappointing to hear someone as experienced as Lisa Sthalekar try to defend that as well. Incredulous that she’s trying to claim Curran didn’t hear and that the umpire was partly to blame. Ump just doing his job. To insinuate he ‘wasn’t letting go of his ego’ is absurd.
So let me get this right... according to *some* in the

"It smacks of a game that knows the price of everything and the value of nothing."
After listening to Christian Welch's press conference today it has only increased my admiration for him. Totally thrown under the bus and yet was thoughtful, contrite and honest about something that wasn't his doing. Even brought up his own mistakes. He's a real leader.
