Because this isnt the "Mens World Cup." Any woman is eligible to play in this wold cup. The Womens World Cup is specifically restricted to women, which is why its called that. This World Cup is open to anybody who is good enough. Its not restricted specifically to men. Its why the Under 23 year old World Cup is called…

Awww they grew up! :)

Protip: If you tear up while cutting onions. Chew a piece of gum. This sounds stupid, but I swear it works. When I cut onions the reaction is less "tears" and more "sweet jesus my face is on fire", and I tried the chewing gum trick and it worked AMAZINGLY well. I have no idea why, but it works.

Commenting on this seems like low hanging fruit. Or maybe average. I don't even know anymore.

Great article, anything else you want to tell the enemy?

I appreciate your doing this. The point for me isn't so much about Detroit per se, although of course that's important. It's about people using power (not a huge amount, but the ability to make mainpage posts on a fairly popular blog is a form of power) irresponsibly, and the hypocrisy of Gawker blogs' …

Keep up the good work Aaron! My main issue with this site is how little journalistic integrity some of the writers have. Thanks for calling people out who can't take 10 minutes to do a little research.

tl;dr: Gawker Media is crap. Read Jalopnik for fun.

Please never stop shitting on Gawker Media Aaron.

The working title of this was "Antiviral: What's Bullshit On Gawker Media This Week"

(but again, can't tell people how to do their jobs!)

Look, not to be an asshole, but the only reason soccer/futbol is the worlds most popular sport is because all you need to play it is a ball (doesn't even have to be a regular ball, can be made out of rags or tape or t-shirts or whatever) and some lines in the dirt. You don't even need shoes. It's a sport for poor…

Dogs are food. Maybe not here, but they are in plenty of other cultures. And there's nothing fucking wrong with that. (and yes, BTW I'm a life long dog owner with some very spoiled pets)

Because cows are herbivores, and dogs are carnivores. The higher the trophic level, the less energy efficient it is to eat the animal.

Well, we've been training and selectively breeding dogs to be our animal helpers for thousands of years. We've been selectively breeding cows to provide food and leather. It's different.

with all due respect, and in the interest of keeping this discussion as civil as it deserves to remain, you're a fucking moron

This sort of racist imagery toward black people is very familiar in Russia. She is not isolated from it, and clearly knew what and why she was tweeting. Even claims it was sent to her, but she tweeted it because of her racism and is defending it because for her this racism is normal and acceptable. This idea of 'well…

As a black person, Russia is low on my list of places to visit.It's SCARY! I don't understand why a country that was attacked by Hitler has so many Neo Nazis. I would rather visit Afghanistan. I'm serious.

This'll deal a devastating blow to Russia's reputiation as a bastion of diversity, tolerance, and civility.

Well, with a Tweet like that you'd expect her to be lighting a cross in a front yard, not the Olympic Flame.
