You sure hate it when a global sports monolith with a history of corruption and greed gets embarrassed on a worldwide scale.

In 2002, McElhaney returned to his hometown, Chickamauga, a small town in the northwest corner of Georgia, to coach football at Class A Gordon Lee High, his alma mater.

At MBS for Chelsea-LAFC for the Club World Cup. Still hard to believe FIFA approved two goals on each end. Anything to boost scoring. https://t.co/a9IZgvvf9e
One dad coached three daughters (including Falcons reporter @tori_mcelhaney) to six GHSA state championships in two sports, none of them as teammates. A column about a grateful dad and his accomplished daughters. https://t.co/ej4kilPz1I
Kirk Cousins at Falcons minicamp responding to a question from @JoshTheAthletic about his desire to be a starter in the NFL. “Obviously, you’d love to play, but I’m not going to dwell on things that aren’t reality in terms of that’s not the situation I’m in.” https://t.co/BCCKZmMQZK
