Let me be very clear about my point here.

Well, I am on the East Coast, and I am reading about this report, aren’t I? If a full gaggle of Minneapolis reporters came to the press conference, I think I would not be reading about this report.

Yeah, seems like they squandered an opportunity, here, to work with the circus instead of just ignoring it and then being upset when other people didn’t make the same choice.

Be a little honest with your statistics; domestic violence in the NFL is lower than the national average. UPS has a bigger domestic violence problem. Fire fighters. Dentists. There’s a long list. NFL players are just (some of them) famous and (most of them) black.

But it’s not even about media day.

Come on now. Common sense dictates that the majority of the press is going to be covering an event that is huge and rarely takes place in this locale. Why not hold the press conference last week or next week? This is a nonsense move and the people behind it know that.

So, did jezebel send a reporter to cover the report? If not, your beef seems kinda petty. it’s pretty ridiculous to expect local media to ignore THE major sporting event occurring in the city. Especially since a super bowl hasn’t happened there in over 20 years.

I would put 3 & 5 at joint 1st with #4 a close 2nd. (My Preferences)

Revolution brewing’s brewery/bar plays weird old movies pretty often when I go there, they can be pretty entertaining and usually sparks a lot of conversation on just wtf is actually happening in them.

Kate, this may be a tenable position for a popular young lady with actual friends, but what about a lump like me? If I’m stranded in a bar, I can look at the TV and pretend to be really into soccer, no really, it’s quite riveting, the goaler is waving about something incessantly, I think he’s mad or something. If you…

Counterpoint: Sports bars are actually awful places to watch sports, and I routinely go to non-sports bars to watch sports in peace and quiet whilst eating food and drinking beer.

This. If Anna Wintour wants to be bigger than an editor and fashionista, she has the power to blow apart the abuse structure in the modeling world.

How responsible are the fashion media? Seems like if Anna Wintour said that they would no longer publish photos, in advertisements or editorial pieces, of children (or of walking skeletons, for that matter) in Vogue then that could certainly change things. I imagine other publications would follow right along.

I think when the dam breaks and the stories come out about the modeling world, it will be 100ox worse than the stories we heard in Hollywood. I think that because the girls in the modeling world are so young and a lot of them are sent to countries where they don’t know anyone and don’t speak the language. They are…

We put the girls into a cage with hungry wolves but we gave them a rape whistle so they’ll be okay.

May be not “points” but if she’s taking action to actually change the abuse she knows exists, which it appears she’s trying to do, then she’s at least worth listening to. It’s pretty easy to point fingers from the cheap seats, but many people across all industries enable abusive behavior by their lack of action, if…

on the one hand, no, you shouldn’t get a cookie for doing the basic, human thing. on the other hand, admitting you’ve done something wrong is literally the first step to fixing a problem, so it is important that people do it and we recognize it.

People treating these jobs like golden tickets is a real problem. You’re supposed to be grateful you got this honor. Anyone else would be so happy just for the opportunity. If you want to get ahead, this is what you have to do, there’s no other way, why are you being so difficult? If you’re too fragile to handle it,…

I don’t care that she’s technically “legal” he’s a fucking predator. That is so fucking nasty.

It’s disturbing how much he looks like her father. Dude needs to realize that he doesn’t look as young as his Botox supplie is telling him.
