You can only be laconic if you're from the Laconia region of Greece, otherwise EU PDO rules mandate that you label yourself "sparkling rude".
Regardless of the politics, losing a key player in a knockout tourney to a borderline call makes the game worse. I say this not merely as an American, but as a Draymond Green superfan.

MLB City Connects that should happen (1/?): Tigers blaze orange, with the Olde English D opened up and in Mossy Oak on the cap. Team name in Mossy Oak on the jersey. A cap variant with earflaps would go hard. Twins or Brewers could also do it, but the color works better for the Cats.
