What value do you derive from seeing an impressive play and then being like, “but, eh, it wasn’t THAT impressive”?

There’s no blowing it out of proportion. That girl did something that .0001% of volleyball players are even capable of much less ballsy enough to attempt. The only thing EVER acceptable to do is praise that girl’s play. You think it’s simple elbow and wrist action, bullshit. That was a ten foot broad jump to hit a one…

Uh, it is in fact very impressive. I just think as a feat of body control and fearlessness, rather than brut strength. Like I said in my original reply about you.., “he sounds awful”. I meant you!

You know... without invoking pedophilia, one could still wonder why you all find it appropriate and funny to make a comment based on a famous case of sexual harassment in regards to a female athlete’s impressive feat.

Young woman: makes amazing move to save point in volleyball game
John, Maddened: Ha! This is a great…

the quickness with which she popped back up, got back to the net, and made another diving play the next time the ball was in their court is also very easy to overlook.

I played volleyball year-round from the age of 10, went to college on a volleyball scholarship, and coached a high school team to two state championships, a club team to a #4 national ranking, and coached the game at the college level. I’ve seen this sort of move be successful maybe three times. You are wrong. This…

And still got back to the front to help finish the play. MOTHERFUCKING GRIT.

Athletes’ physical grace always awes me (as I have none). Check out her form as she does this. She’s poised and her body posture indicates she’s totally in command of her movement. Everything she is doing looks like it was intentionally executed rather than just being desperate flailing that luckily paid off.

This is insane and insanely difficult. The sheer physics of it—to have all of your mass and momentum going (airborne) in one direction and to be able to swing with enough force to get the ball to go all the way back over the net in the other direction...it’s crazy.

Incredible play, especially because she was at the net when the play began. This video alone should swing a scholarship.

Coming soon: the first books in the WHERE’S MARSHAWN? series! Bonus points for finding Colin in the crowd, Donald in the crisis and leadership from either party!

So clearly folks who don’t want politics injected into sports (STICK TO SPORTS!) will be more than happy to support a decision to stop playing the National ANthem at sporting events and stop visiting the President no matter what? Right? RIGHT??

It’s funny how sports fans who say they don’t want politics in their sports also want to preserve the national anthem as a show of patriotism.

And she was the star of the show. Imagine if the star was a guy, the show named after his character, said someone on the set made him uncomfortable.

James Woods is an irreverent asshat and should go back under the rock he came from. Amber is a boss who owned that dumb mofo, thank god she is the future.

That Times op- ed was so on point. It should be required reading for all men.

Depends which child you’re speaking about....

Community was too good for this world, probably why they put the last season on a service no one could see. Hope you make it out of the grays soon, my original post on this thread is what did it for me.

“Rip off was a bad choice of words for sure. I kind of meant that the format just didn’t seem as fresh with Parks. I know the American The Office wasn’t the first show to use that type of format, but it was the first to achieve mainstream success.

Parks and Rec is the superior show.
