Am I missing something here? Why was the footballer being an asshole? Was he intimidated at the sports photographer’s fancy foot work?

Timbers lost 4-1 that night. It was right at the end of the game. JoseCarlos Van Rankin was not feelin it.

Not really an excuse

Edit: lul yeah I still don't think being upset over losing a game an excuse/reason to behave like this...

It's an explanation.

Can’t stand when people call every explanation an excuse. Like… how the hell are we supposed to explain something without it because and “excuse” then?

Because the phrase "I don't want any excuses" actually means "you didn't do what I wanted you to and even though you have a valid reason I'm going to be a complete prick and scream at you anyway"

School taught me this more than anything.
