I have read other places she is trying to get this taken down. That she uploaded for a couple of friends and then someone posted it on youtube.

Aww. I just assumed. Thanks for the info.

I watched the women's gymnastics at the Olympics. No shame.

One thing I noticed is that USA won in their home jersey and lost/tied in the away jersey. It was like the USA women's gymnastic team in 2012. They always lost when wearing white.

I see a difference, but we can agree to disagree. To me a certain amount of objectification (for both men and women) is normal, natural and even healthy. I am going to find certain people sexually attractive, and I don't mind expressing this. Tim Howard is sexy. I love his abs. And yes, looking at that picture…

I don't know Tim Howard so I don't know how he feels about women on the internet talking about how they are hot 'n bothered by his abs. Maybe it would bother him as much as it would bother you. However, I think there are plenty of people, including many athletes, who like people AWOOOOing over them. There are…

Is it not possible for something to be beautiful, sexy, and also both beautiful and sexy at the same time? Obviously drooling is a hyperbole in every context in reference to this post. No one is drooling and humping to this picture either. Catcalling would fall into the "disrespecting the person in a way that can…

This is what I always thought would be the solution, have the doctor decide who goes off. It would be hard to abuse. The only way is to coordinate a bribe with the doctors and players, but still the audience would know the doc is seeing the same replay as them. Or you could have a player actually go for a head…

I want a post about those!

My argument would be, then why is his on the cover without a shirt? I think the whole point is to covey power sure, but also a certain level of sexiness—I think the magazine wants us to drool. He has also appeared in the ESPN body issue. I don't think he minds people admiring his muscles. Male athletes get to…

So like if someone wrote an article after this world cup final and said Messi is overrated and only average and the German team is the greatest to ever play that would be considered a hottake?

Sorry, I know this is dumb but what is a hottake. Is it like a harsh opinion?

This. New fan, and I saw most of Argentina's games, and I don't get it.

Maradona was before my time and admittedly I am only a casual fan, so this is something I have never really understood. Typically if an athlete tests positive for drugs it deeply and permanently tarnishes their whole career. It doesn't seem to have affected his legacy at all. Is that it was a recreational drug or…

Hopefully Germany will use the S-formation and can find themselves consistently in the cube.

I wanted to see DEU v NLD for the final and ARG v BRA for third because of the long standing rivalries. I mean that final would be brutal. At least Brazil doesn't have to lose to Argentina at any point. They say it will be worse if Argentina wins but I think it would have been worse if they had lost their semi and…

HAHAHAHAHA!

Yes! This whole article actually does a pretty good job arguing FOR a third place match. Between the title and the last line, all I get it that it really does have a purpose even if the Dutch don't like it.

Other people have mentioned nations that took pride in third. Also, if you go to the World Cup wiki page, 3rd and 4th finishes are listed right along side 1st and runner-up. It is not just a footnote and it seems it matters a lot to the countries that get third, especially if they were not necessarily expected to…

I am pretty sure it is much higher profit than in stores. I heard one CEO talk about how the stores serve to remind people about the store, but the hope is they will shop online. I think it is just about maximizing their profits. If you repackage every item and deduct the labor of that (I can't imagine how big of…
