The internet loves a good love story and look no further than sports as a backdrop to a perfect date. Former college soccer player turned esports star Connor Buckley took to Twitter to ask the Arizona Diamondbacks to check in on his roommate’s second date. The Dbacks accepted the challenge and the internet felt the suspense of this mission as the team account gave a date play-by-play throughout the game. And in case you’re wondering, there will be a third date, but the couple is hoping for a little less fanfare on that one. MAY WE SUGGEST A QUIET CAFE NEXT TIME?

(The family also owns the Tampa Bay Buccaneers - NFL - National Football League). Man U was one of the handful of teams that signed onto the Super League and the fans are upset that the owners tried to change the sport that they love so much. If the whole situation confuses you, you’re not alone. Here’s a great breakdown of why fans are so upset. HECK NO WE WON’T GO
