“Gifted” — ugh!
It’s time to take one of my pet peeves out for a walk. Can’t we just say “gave” or “donated”? Gift is a noun, not a verb.
Thank you for your indulgence.
Same here, but can we make an exception for “Re-Gifting?”
Hear! Hear!
Gift can be a verb. Merriam-Webster lists it. I would gift you a copy, but you can find it on the internet.
Icethetics video is on their YouTube channel, but there is no direct link here on the ticker.
My bad. Link now added … or just click here: link
It’s in the article linked above about the Islanders–took me a second to realize it was the same video. That video starts with the Islanders, but you can rewind.
Also Bengals announced naming rights to the stadium. A sad day in Cincinnati for sure. :’-(
I thought it was cool that the Bengals finally got with the times and found a sponsor for their stadium. A new source of revenue for the team and it costs the fans and public nothing. This should allow for them to make some much needed renovations. I don’t see what’s sad about this at all, it’s a win-win for all involved and a move they should have made decades ago.
A blue, orange, and white Islanders’ fisherman sweater is interesting, but I’ll repost my preference for a dark blue, orange, silver and teal version of what they wear now.
In the Commanders’ article, it looks like the players have their last names on the front of their jerseys (In “Hi – My name is…” style.)
Is that right?
Looks to be that way
You may want to clarify that Brighton’s women’s team went no NUMBER on back. I believe NOB usually refers to “name on back”.
Those British candy bar football shirts arve very sweet. Yes, I see myself out.
